We also looked carefully at the 3D shapes and drew around each face.  This helped us to see the shapes of the different faces.

We also used the polydron shapes to make our own 3D shapes.  This helped us to really think about the shape of the different faces on the shapes.

We are learning about 3D shapes in maths.  Here we are making some using cocktail sticks and marshmallows. This helped us to think about how many vertices in each shape.

On World Book Day, Y6 came to read to us.  It was lovely to see them and we really enjoyed listening to their stories.  Thanks Year 6!

We decided another category was needed so added a group called ‘Never Alive’.

In Science, we are learning all about living things.  Today we sorted various objects into two categories - living or dead.  Most objects were quite easy to classify but some made us really think.  

We have made lots of decorations in the last week ready for our party. We know it is the year of the tiger this year and have used lots of mark making tools to make stripes on a giant tiger. We are going to celebrate with a party when all our friends are back in Nursery.

We are exploring different materials. We wanted to make our cuddly toys into superheroes. Each child had to feel the different materials and choose one to make a cape out of. We went up to the juniors and let our teddies fly.

We are looking at different outside areas around school. This half term we are exploring the tree lined path. After Easter we will visit Dorrington Road woods and invite our parents to come along with us.

At lunchtime a group of Y6 children have volunteered to run an Art club for Y1 and Y2 children. Look out for photos of other things the children have made.

Our final task was to evaluate our pizzas.  We thought about what had gone well and any bits we would change if we made our pizzas again.
