We had the electrical buzzers in fencing this week.

We followed instructions to make a raspberry and banana smoothie for Mrs Walsh! She thought it was delicious! 

We have written some safety instructions and we enjoyed sharing them with Reception class today. 

Following our work on the artist Arcimboldo, we used real fruit to make fruit faces. 

We have enjoyed exploring the sense of taste this week. We had to guess the range of fruit and vegetables and whether we liked it or not. It was lovely to see the children trying different foods and some children found out they actually liked it ! 

We have been discussing the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We have been looking at his work and recreating it. Then we had fun making our own ! 

We have been using paint to make our self portrait. We have been discussing the different hair colour, eye colour and skin colour that people have and that we are all unique. We mixed the paint to achieve the right colours.

We continued exploring our senses by looking at the sense of touch. We described how things felt in the feely bag and we tried to guess what they were. 

We enjoyed using expression to retell the story. We tried to change our voices to re-enact the the characters’ feelings. 

We performed our own version of a nursery ryhme. We enjoyed listening to the different rhyming words.

We looked at using the sense of hearing to listen to sounds all around us.

We enjoyed going to Dorrington Woods and using our senses to look at different habitats. We even made some of our own minibeast habitats !
