We listened to the story ‘it starts with a seed’. Children asked questions and wrote predictions about what might happen to our broad bean seed. Then we started our experiment, by putting damp paper towels into a plastic bottle and sliding 5 broad beans down the side. We will leave it in the sunlight, to keep it warm and water it daily… To see how things grow! #LovePlover
Yesterday in maths we were looking at extending and spotting errors in ABAB repeating patterns. The children were really good at doing this using the coloured counting bears, so we decided to see if we could get ourselves into a repeating pattern.
Shoutout to Chester that extended his learning by being able to correct and error, in a repeating pattern of 3 colours! Also to Ocean and Kara that worked together to create a repeating pattern using the soft play blocks, during our PE session.

Last week we worked on developing our scissor skills. I was so proud at how many children could not only could make snips in paper, but could independently cut out their pictures. Once the pictures were cut out, we had to stick them in the right order, then use our mathematical language (first, then) to explain our sequence and events.

Over the weekend the children were given a dental disclosing tablet – a fun and important experiment for children to understand and see the important of brushing and keeping all their teeth clean! What a cool toothbrush Ada has, it flashes red for 2 minutes so she knows that she has been brushing for the correct amount of time. Check out some of our gleaming smiles!
This week we have been looking at how we can keep our teeth healthy, by brushing them. We have learnt how to brush our teeth properly, and used disclosure tablets at home to see the plaque in our teeth, so we know where we still need to brush. We learnt a song to help remind us how/when to clean our teeth, it’s been great to see some children singing this independently during choosing time! I wonder if they can sing it for you at home.

Thank you to all the parents/carers that came along to family learning yesterday, to support their child’s learning in school. We made some delicious fruit kebabs, did some collaging and used fruit to print with paint.

It was lovely to welcome some of our grown ups in this morning as part of our expedition learning ‘See How Things Grows’. Thank you children and grown ups for working hard, getting smart and being kind. We made healthy fruit kebabs, played fruit matching games, paints our favourite fruits, created a fruit bowl collage and made some cool fruit masks! #LovePlover
What a wonderful morning we had with our grown-ups! We played games, we made fruit kebabs, we worked collaboratively on a fruit collage, we made fruit masks, we did some really neat colouring. All of us had such a lovely time learning and growing together. Special thanks to the grown-ups who could make it and well done to all the children for showing our grown-ups how we work hard, get smart and be kind.
In expedition this afternoon we were comparing two different fruits. I’ve never seen so much excitement over a watermelon before! We learned that fruits have seeds and vegetables grow from roots and have leaves. Some of the language the children used to describe the pineapple and watermelon were “tangy, sweet, sour, soft, juicy, yummy”. #LovePlover
