P1/2/3 went off to the forest today and did a number of Numeracy activities with their partners.
This included number work, counting and adding activities, making symmetry pictures, problem solving and measuring.

Having Fun in the Snow
Snow is here! Working together trying to build an igloo!
Materials
The children worked together in co-operative groups to sort out the materials of toys.
They had to choose which toys were made of fabric, metal, plastic and wood.
They took turns at different tables.
Baking Christmas Biscuits
The children learned different skills when making Christmas biscuits.
They learned and followed hygiene rules throughout baking.
They followed the recipe, took turns, measured with scales, beat ingredients together, roll out the mixture and use cutters too.
Finally in the afternoon, they got to taste them too!
Making Electrical Circuits and Lighting up our Lighthouses
P1/2/3 made simple electrical loop circuits with wires, a battery and a light. They also added a buzzer and a switch in some of their circuits too.
After experimenting with these, they used their electrical circuit to light up their lighthouses which they had made previously. They all looked lovely, especially with the main lights off.
Building Towers in Science
After reading the Light house Keeper’s Lunch P1/2/3 were learning about building strong towers.
They looked at different lighthouses and most of them had a wider base, so the children worked together in groups to build one of their own.
One group built a superb tower with a very strong base, which even impressed Mrs Gaskell’s P6/7 class.
Team Games
Balls were flying everywhere when P1/2/3 were playing Battleball and Dodgeball when learning to work together in PE
Drama
The children listened to the story of Grace Darling and had to make still pictures in Drama related to the story.
They also had to improvise short scenes too!
Potato Pancakes
What a treat P1/2/3 had when Mrs Chalamanda came and showed us how to make Potato Pancakes!
The children were all able to help in the cooking process and of course were then able to try them afterwards. They were delicious!
The class also decided to name this our favourite potato recipe to enter the potato competition.
Thank you Mrs Chalamanda for coming into our classroom and teaching us how to make these wonderful pancakes
Tour de France Day
P1/2/3 had a team building day related to the Tour de France.
They had to design a poster for their cycling racing team which were based on real professional cycling teams. They had to make bunting for our special afternoon and they also had to find a player in their team who they were going to be and make up their own racing number.
In the afternoon of our Tour de France, the teams had to sign in, just like they do in the real Tour.
After all this, it was off to their bikes and the team races began! In these they had a chance to win points for their team in obstacle races, team sprints and individual races.
In the end Team Sky won! (It wasn’t a fix.)
