Learner Led Event. Here are just a few snaps from our learner led event last week. Thank you to everyone who came along and took part in the different learning activities within the class.

Floppy Fingers Fun. To practice our times tables, the class played a new game this week called ‘floppy fingers’. There was a lot of laughter and competitive spirit on show but it did make practicing quick recall of tables facts lot of fun. See if your child can teach it to you at home.

Lemon experiments. This week we continued to look at batteries and circuits. We tried to make  our own batteries this time using a lemon. Unfortunately this wasn’t successful as the battery didn’t work to light the bulb. However, I was so impressed with the class, especially their resilience and problem solving skills as they tried many different combinations to get their lemon batteries to work. A great lesson in what we can do when things don’t go as planned.

A Visit from Mrs. Meadows. On Tuesday, Mrs. Meadows came to speak to the class about having a baby. She spoke about how she is feeling and things she is doing to keep her and the baby safe. Mrs. Meadows also brought two large water bottles and let the class see how much extra weight a pregnant lady can carry around. She also showed us her scan picture so that we could see how the baby is developing and we got to look inside her baby box too. We had a lot of fun and got to ask some questions of our own too.

Cooking with Carrie-Ann. Over the last 4 weeks, the class have gone in groups to work on some cookery skills with Carrie-Ann. They have made tomato pasta, macaroni cheese, vegetable soup and pizza. They have all worked so well together to create their dishes and certainly enjoyed the results of their cooking.
