Fairyland

We have been creating Fairyland in our classroom.  So far, we have written letters to the Friendly Dragon, we have built a beanstalk and made castles.  We love it when the Dragon writes a letter and leaves it in the D-Mail box.  He leaves us instructions of what to do next.  We are having great fun!

Fruit Kebabs

In Room 2, we were learning some cutting techniques so that we can cut food safely.  Today we learned about ‘the bridge’ and ‘the claw’.  We were cutting up fruit to make a healthy snack.  Fruit and Vegetables is one of the food groups we have been learning about and we know that we should be eating more of this food group than others.  Most of us enjoyed all the different fruits.

Reindeer Dust

In Room 2, we have been busy making reindeer dust to sell at the Banton Primary School Christmas Fayre.  First, we had to mix the oats, sugar and glitter together before filling the special bags.  Then, we had to design the sticker that would seal the bag up.  Next, we  created posters to advertise the reindeer dust.  Finally, we had to decide on a price.   We decided 50p was reasonable.  We hope everyone buys a wee bag!

Making Orange Juice

In Room 2, we have been learning about where our food comes from.  We have been sorting foods into two groups –  foods that come from plants and foods that come from animals.  We know that oranges come from an orange tree and that we can get orange juice by squeezing them.  It was tough work squeezing the oranges on the juicer and we found out that it takes a lot of oranges to make one cup of juice! Most of us liked the juice but some of us didn’t like the bits in it.
