This morning, Year 2 were investigating how many numbers they could make with only six pieces of Base 10. It was a challenge to find all of them!

This afternoon, Year 2 were challenged to make a free standing structure with art straws and nothing else. They had to be resilient and not give up if they fell down. I was very impressed.

This afternoon, Year 3 were cheerleading with Mrs Winder. It was great!

We had a taster session of wheelchair basketball this afternoon which was great fun!

This morning, Year 3 walked to Williamson Park. It was very rainy but we persevered with the walk and made it. When we got there, we had a talk in The Butterfly House, learning about the rainforest habitat. We then got to handle a hissing cockroach, stroke a bearded dragon and have a skink sit on…

This afternoon, we were trying to work out how the pneumatics worked in a moving toy that Mr Manning showed us.

This morning, we walked around Dorrington Wood so that we could compare it to the rainforests we will be learning about this half term. 
 

We looked around for things we didn’t think we’d see in a rainforest.

This afternoon, we went out into the playground to do some composing.

We were finding fractions of amounts out on the playground this week. 
 

Today, we were learning how to create tints and shades for our painting work. We then used them to recreate a painting by Georgia O’Keefe.

This afternoon, Year 3 were practising their observational drawing skills. We were sketching leaves with as much detail as possible.

This afternoon, Year 3 went crown green bowling with Coach Dan.
