We were talking about making our 3D rocket and the best materials for the window. We conducted an experiment to see which materials would be the best. First, we predicted and then we used a torch to test to see if any light would go through the materials. 
We found glass and clear plastic were…

We sorted the 3D shapes into colours and shapes.

“We’ve made a tower bigger than us using 3D shapes!” 
They named which shapes were good to build towers with. 

This week we have been looking at 3D shapes and their properties. 

Every day, we have been checking and recording the temperature. We have even seen -2’C, we definitely needed our coats, hats and scarves that day! 

We have been weather forecasters and finding out the weather in the UK. Some children made cameras in the making area to record the forecast too. We had other children checking the satellites and others recording the temperature. 

We have been looking at the repetition of stories and we have been really enjoying retelling, ‘The Little Red Hen’. We have been acting out as the different characters and using different voices and expression.

After designing our cards, we then made our pop up/sliding Christmas cards carefully using our designs. We were really pleased with how they turned out and evaluated. We thought if we were to make these again, what would we do differently? 

We had lots of fun at our Christmas

We spotted lots of different houses on our walk e.g detached, bungalows, semi-detached and flats. We spotted Lancaster Castle and explored our local church, St Paul’s. We spotted the date 1925 on the Parish Hall opposite the church.

We investigated pop up toys and sliders in books before we thought of which moving part we were going to choose for our Christmas card design.

We had a visit from the Life Education Van today. We found out about our wonderful bodies, keeping healthy and safe. We discussed feelings and helped Harold with a problem. We even had a visit from Harold too
