Week 7 – Magic mixtures!

During outdoor learning this week, Les Grenouilles wrote poems about magic mixtures. We used natural materials like red autumn leaves and prickly conker cases to help us imagine interesting ingredients.

Week 6 – making aeroplanes

This week, we made paper aeroplanes and learned about the forces that keep paper aeroplanes and real aeroplanes in the air. We also experimented to see if changing the shape of the wings affected how well our aeroplanes fly. We enjoyed testing how our paper planes flew!

Check out our amazing paper aeroplanes…

Year 3 celebrate Mental Health Day

This week we celebrated World Mental Health Day in Year 3. We had an interesting discussion about what ‘mental health’ means before creating a monster that has similar qualities to each child. Children then discussed similarities and differences in people’s qualities. 

Year 2 Week 5 – Leaf art

We created art using leaves we found on our trip to the woods. By thinking carefully about the colours and patterns we saw on the forest floor, we tried to recreate this in our art. Once we had made our paintings, we looked at our class friends art work and spoke about what we noticed and liked.
