Today we took advantage of the rain to do some raindrop art. We coloured sheets of paper and then spattered water over them to see the colours spread through to the other side. Look at our rocking rainbows!
Literacy – The Dragon Machine
Yesterday we began reading The Dragon Machine. We realised that there were lots of dragons hiding around the school so we went on a hunt to find them. We had to describe where we found them and what they looked like. Today we used the prepositions, adjectives, alliteration and similes we collected to write sentences about them. Check out our ideas.
Science – Heart rate investigation
Today we were finding out how to keep the heart healthy. We discovered that exercise is a great way to maintain heart health so we did short bursts of exercise and took our pulse rates afterwards. Look at us go!
Numeracy – Number Sequences
Today we are practising number sequences by counting in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 10s. Counting in 3s and 4s was really tricky. We timed ourselves to see who could go the highest. Check out some pictures of our work.

Outdoor Learning- Technology
This morning we were building homes for elves and fairies. We had to work out  how to make our structure safe and strong. We used ice for windows, sticks for walls, leaves for rugs, fences and sun loungers, stones for beds, jacuzzis and enchanted tables, bark to make doors, willow for trees, stones to support the house and wood to mark out the garden.
