The Reception children have been exploring the capacity of different containers. We used vocabulary such as full, empty, half full and we were exploring which containers held the most water.
Classes
Science
Kingfishers testing fossil formation using different breads, water and toy dinosaurs.
Bitterns
This week, the Bitterns delved into a lively hot-seating activity, interviewing Mr. and Mrs. Twit – where Mr. Twit showcased his dreadful manners by refusing to knock, snacking on bits from his beard, and slouching improperly in his chair – all in preparation for writing diary entries in the first person!
Programming With Python
We will be learning to use Python, a programming language used to build many websites, including YouTube and Google. Click this link to get started!
Art
This week in our Art lesson, the children put their understanding of colour mixing into practice to recreate their own versions of the artwork ‘0-9’ by artist Jasper Johns. Â We first thought back to our lesson last week to remember what the primary colours are. We applied the primary colours to the numbers on the paper. We had to then mix the primary colours to make secondary colours and add these to the numbers on the paper. The result was very effective!
Measuring
The Bitterns have been busily measuring and comparing lengths and heights with metre sticks this week.
Roald Dahl
The Bitterns have Roald Dahl in our spotlight this half term. This week we have enjoyed a few amusing extracts from The Twits, sketching whilst listening to Dahl’s entertaining description, in preparation for our character profiles next week.
Coots Science
This week in Science we began our learning about our amazing bodies. We started by naming body parts. The children drew around each other and then labelled the body parts. A few tricky challenge ones were added in too!
