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 have been exploring the story and characters from The Highwayman. Recently we have written our own stories and speeches linked to this dramatic poem. We have edited them and presented them in neat for display. Enjoy reading them!

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.

Today in science we have carefully dissected a tulip to identify the main parts of a flower for reproduction. We have learned and used a lot of new vocabulary, including stigma, style, ovary, anther, filament, sepal and ovule.

After learning about Neil Armstrong in History, the children made a rocket in the role play. Some children were in the NASA Space Station giving the rocket instructions and the others were ready to launch. The children counted down and blasted off to the moon. They used the moon buggy around the…

Year 4 have been using their Art and DT skills to make Chinese dragons ready to celebrate 2022 The Year of the Tiger.

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…
