Good Afternoon Everyone

Did you enjoy the story of Jack and the Beanstalk this week?    How tall was that beanstalk ?

I thought for today’s challenge we could look out for trees or plants of different sizes while we are out for our daily walk or even in the garden.

Can you find a tree or plant that is bigger than you, one that is smaller than you and one that is the same size as you ? Mrs Duffy, Mrs Woods, Mrs Glidden, Mrs Pitlabo an myself have all taken on the challenge and you can see the pictures below.

Please share you learning with us on your Learners Journal

Happy Hunting

Good afternoon everyone

Did you manage to gather the things you needed to plant your seed?

Please watch the video on your Learners Journal to see Mrs Glidden explain today’s challenge.  Have a look below at Mrs Glidden’s photograph of her with her apple tree.  She planted an apple seed many years ago and now has a tree taller than her!

Please share your learning with us on your learners journal.

Have fun!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Did you manage to find any fruit or vegetables that had any seeds? I found a few and have added my photographs for you to look at.

Tomorrow Mrs Glidden is going to show us what to do with them so today your challenge it to get all the things you will need to plant our seeds to grown.

You will need to find

A plastic pot. A yogurt pot would be ideal for this.
A little soil. Soil from your garden will be perfect but you can also use some from a bag of compost. Have a look and see what you can find.
A piece of paper
A pen
You will need to write a label of what your seed is. You can do this by writing the word or drawing a picture of it.

Remember to share your learning with us on your online Learners Journal.

Have Fun!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I have recorded of one of our favourite stories and added it to our Youtube Channel.   You can access it here or by scanning the QR Code

I don’t have any beans or seeds for planting like Jack did but wondered if there are any beans or seeds in my house that I could possibly plant and grow into a tall bean stalk.
I’ve got a variety of fruits in my kitchen which I am going to cut open when I am ready to eat them and see if they have any seeds that I can use to plant.

Your challenge today is to listen the story and have a look in your house to find any possible seeds that you could grow.

Please share what you find on your Learners Journal.

Have fun!

Remember Mrs Kennedy has set a challenge for us all tonight.  Details can also be found on your online Learners Journal

 

Good Morning Everyone!

The weather was so sunny and warm yesterday that I decided that it would be a good day to release our butterflies into the garden.  We had 8 Painted Lady butterflies. Have a look at the pictures and the video.  Look at how pretty their wings are.  Do you notice that they have a beautiful pattern on both sides which is the same. This is call a symmetrical pattern.

Your challenge today is to make a symmetrical patterned butterfly.  Mrs Glidden, Mrs Pitblado,  Mrs Prentice and Mrs Duffy have made symmetrical patterns to give you some ideas.

Remember to share you learning with us on by uploading pictures to your Learners Journal.

Have Fun

Good Morning Everyone!

We have butterflies!   Our butterflies began to emerge over the weekend and we now have 8.  Have a look at their pretty colours. These butterflies are called Painted Lady butterflies because of the special colours and patterns they have. Can you how remember each stage of the butterfly life cycle? They have metamorphosed from an egg to a caterpillar to a chrysalis and now to a butterfly.

Your challenge today is to create a picture of the life cycle of a butterfly.

You can use natural materials, household items or even draw or paint.  Its up to you!  Have a look at ours below.

Please share your learning with us on your learners journal.

Have Fun!
