Forest School

In forest school we carried on our Science learning. We dissected flowers, and looked at the different parts that are involved in pollination such as the anther, stigma, style and ovary.

Computing 

Aslans are learning about databases. We spent time collecting data about animals from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park website. Children completed fact files about their chosen animal.

Maths Practical

We used our practical skills to measure the mass of different objects around the classroom. The Aslans added different objects and weights to the scale until it was balanced, and then counted the weights to find the mass of the object.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Our trip to Yorkshire Wildlife park was amazing! We saw lots of animals, including polar bears, howler monkeys and lions. We had a fantastic session all about the rainforest, and even got to handle some creepy crawlies. What a lovely day the Aslans had!

English

In English we have continued developing our oracy skills with a ‘fed in facts’ activity. We worked in groups to share any facts we knew about sloths, then watched different videos or read information to feed in more facts. We then linked our ideas into categories and made chatterboxes to present what we had learned. 

Golden Writing

Aslan’s are concentrating hard during English, writing their golden letters to Cadburys.

We introduced our focus author, Laura Ellen Anderson and looked at two of her fantastic books; Rainbow Grey and Evil Emperor Penguin. We then created our own Weatherlings with different weather types. The children produced some absolutely fantastic, creative work!

Thank you Aslan's for your amazing costumes and sharing your favourite books!

Computing 

We are learning about databases and created our own animal branching charts.

The Aslans did brilliantly, asking some amazing questions to sort their animals. 

Science 

We had a busy afternoon planting and carrying out investigations. We are trying to grow a bean ‘hydroponically’ which means without soil. We planted sunflower seeds and we planned an investigation to see how well plants transport water.

DT

In DT we have made our brilliant boxes. We carefully measured and drew nets, scored, folded and glued it all together to create our 3D boxes! We then decorated the boxes and they turned out fantastically!

Geography

In geography we used our researching skills to find out what resources humans get from rainforests, and how rainforests help the planet.
