Here we are again on Friday all dressed up in our super Halloween costumes. Today we have been making pumpkins and witches/bats/zombies from our painted paper plates!

On Wednesday afternoon we enjoyed some Halloween craft activities. Here we are making fluffy cotton wool ghosts and spooky spiders as well as painting paper plates to make pumpkins and witches later on in the week.

We had already been working in our new groups to create our Halloween Critters! We have been learning about different kinds of adjectives to write character descriptions for our critters.

What a super end to the first term! Everyone had a great time drumming with Joy. We hope she can come again soon!

Lottie Mae was off yesterday so here she is with her model.

Here we are trying out our completed models!

We all designed a toy which uses a push or pull force to make it work. Here we are making our toys.

Today we did another forces experiment. This was a catapult test! We had to stretch the elastic band back to 3 different distances and fire a cardboard missile! We then had to measure and record our results. This time we had to measure much longer distances and needed to plan carefully how to do this. All the groups were very good at planning what to do, sharing the equipment and ensuring it was fair and everyone got a turn.

In our Jigsaw lessons we have been working on our class learning charter. Here we are working together in groups to create posters of the positive behaviours we want to see in our class.

We have been learning about Energy and Forces. Here we are testing toy cars down slopes of different heights.

We have been continuing to enjoy our weekly signalong sessions with Marie Lawson, learning the signing vocabulary for some new stories.  Everyone is very enthusiastic and we have learned lots of new signs as well as revising others.
