We listened to the story called ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ and then we followed it up with ‘What the Ladybird Heard Next’
It got us thinking that we could be quite creative and make some ladybird stones while we were doing outdoor learning. We had great fun, here are some pictures. We learned about colours, symmetry, numbers, ladybirds, language and many other things. All whilst having fun and working with friends.
We’ve used our imagination in many ways. We’ve been explorers looking for treasure, finding long lost animals and even hiding from robbers.
Exploring hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea so there have been some inventive cooking classes and meals made during our time outside. From grilling sausages and pasta……
to making soup and other glorious recipes…….
with all ingredients foraged from the forest!
Then cooking hasn’t been for everyone either. Being in the south mainland and having many farming opportunities, the hairst has been a very busy time!
Tractor and combine harvester designs were discussed before the final model chosen and made. Crops were harvested and taken in and the staff were given many lessons on what to do and how to help with this busy time.
Next, the sheep have to be ca’ad…..
Some of us tried to make a house of straw for the three little pigs.
There were a lot of helping in different ways and teamwork was key.
Then we decided the wolf might be hungry and need something to eat, hopefully not one of the three little pigs!
So a group set to to make delicious soup that the wolf would like. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that, the soup was made and the trap was set!
Other people in the class set to building different types of houses for the three little pigs. These were made of branches or pallets of wood.
They thought if there were leaves on the branches, the wolf might think it was a home!
The wolf fell for the trap, climbed down the chimney and ended up in the pot so we were able to make wolf soup! It was delicious!
Here are some architects, planning their next houses to build. I think they decided on houses made of tyres!
We went on a bear hunt and had lots of fun! Before we went outside, we did the actions to go along with the story. We also learned about different bears. There were bears EVERYWHERE!
The bears were in the forest, in the tyres, hiding behind the fence, next to the drainpipes, some were even in the pond area! We worked together to find as many bears as we could.
It was very tiring looking for all the bears and we still haven’t found them all! When we go into the forest, sometimes there are still bears there. We hear them roaring at us and have to hide. We found a den while we were looking.
Some of us decided that maybe bears could live in a cave built of bricks or wood and decided to build some bear caves. We had great fun and learned lots.
We got to explore and settle into our new class and school area. That was very important since we had been away from school for a little while. Here are some photos to show us having fun and doing exactly as the title says. 
Using your rhyming words from yesterday, make a silly sentence and put them in the comment box. My sentence is The fat cat is wearing a flat hat.
Have fun, I look forward to seeing your sentences.
Following on from the video message I sent you all yesterday. Here is song to go along with the wonky donkey story. It will help to cheer you all up. Sing along, dance and have fun! I have been singing it all morning and before I went to sleep last night.
Today’s challenge is to try and find as many different rhyming words as you can. The rhyming word is a nice easy one to start. The word today is bat.
Remember when you are rhyming, the end pattern at stays the same and the letter or letters at the beginning change.
To make it a challenge see if you can score as high a score as possible.
Post your final score up here and I will put up a list of rhyming words up on Friday. I will also put up a new rhyming challenge tomorrow.
Draw a picture that is going to put a smile on the face of everyone in your house. Put as much detail in it as you can. Go on, make everyone smile. Send a photo to the school email so that you can make me smile too!
Play beetle maths by trying to draw the beetle. Roll a dice and if you can give a correct addition sum with the answer then you draw that part of the beetle. Remember you have to draw a body first. You can only draw a head once you have a body. You can only draw antenna and eyes of you have a head.

To make it harder, change the numbers for the beetle’s body parts to make them higher, then you can add more than two numbers in your sum to give the answer.
Do it in French using your number knowledge.
Key words: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix sept, dix huit, dix neuf, vingt, plus +, egal =
