We re-enacted Palm Sunday with our palm leaves as part of our RE topic of why Christians celebrate Easter.

We had a lot of fun exploring at Forest School!
Paper plate maps
As part of our WOW day for our new topic: UK in the World, we made paper plate maps to show the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world.
Willow market!
As a class, we read the story; Grace and Family. Grace visited a marketplace in Africa. We also had a chance to visit our very own market in Willow class, to help us with some descriptive writing. We made up our own stalls and created shopping lists.
Making a vegetable patch
In PSHE, we learned about where different fruits and vegetables come from and how they grow. We made our own vegetable/fruit patch by printing different fruits and vegetables.
Clay vehicles
We made vehicles made out of clay. We used rolling, squashing techniques to represent different features of a range of vehicles.
Selling habitats to animals…
In Science, we took on the role of an estate agent who sells UK habitats to animals. We presented information to groups of animals where we described conditions for a woodland, pond, coastal or urban habitat. We ended with a Q&A session with our estate agents.
Designing vehicles
As part of our transport topic, we designed and made our own vehicles using cardboard boxes, wheels and axles.
Minibeast Hunt
At Forest school, we went on a minibeast hunt. We collected some information about the different types of minibeasts found in a woodland habitat. We used our findings in the following lesson to create a pictogram.
Man on the Moon - job interviews
In Literacy, we conducted interviews to see if we had suitable qualities to be hired as an astronaut to carry out jobs on the Moon. We came up with great questions and displayed great speaking and listening skills!
10 more, 10 less
In Willow class we have great mathematicians! We worked in pairs to identify 10 more and 10 less than a given number.
Morals and consequences
In RE, we talked how we know what is right and what is wrong. We had examples of different scenarios and wrote down what we thought the consequence for that action should be. We had to do a lot of thinking!
Great Fire of Berger…
We burned our Tudor Houses to see how quickly the fire spread between the terraced houses that were very close together. We were able to see how flammable the materials we used were and saw that gaps in the houses did help slow the fire down. It was a very exciting experience!
