Hip hop

Fabiane has been teaching us hip hop the last two weeks.It is brilliant!

Billy Bucket

We did a drama lesson today about a little boy who only wanted a bucket for his birthday.His parents want him to choose something else but he tells them it is the only thing he wants.Next,the children had to pretend to be different kinds of buckets in the bucket shop and Billy had to choose his favourite one.It was very hard to pick as the children came up with all sorts of brilliant ideas.But he couldn t resist a bucket that could fly and a bucket that could make you happy when you felt sad!

Volcanoes

We were speaking about volcanoes this week,after the volcano erupted in Iceland.We made our own volcanoes by mixing water,baking powder,washing up liquid and vinegar and then BOOM! Explosion time!

Junior Achievement

Annette from the Junior Achievement programme is visiting us once a week at the moment.She reads us stories and we do activities afterwards.We' ve heard stories about a farm,people co-operating on a farm,a carnival and a girl thinking up ways of making some money to get into the carnival.It is great!

Measuring

We had fun measuring different things this week.We measured tables and windows with lollipop sticks and also with cubes and teddy bears.We guessed how many it would take first and then we measured and compared the results with our guesses.After measuring in the classroom,we measured cars outside and the long corridor in the school.The corridor took 33 metre sticks to get from the start to the end!

Minibeast hunt

We went on a minibeast hunt at the back of the school.We found centipedes,snails,slugs and a beetle.We looked at them through magnifying glasses and then let them go again.

Easter egg hunt

Easter eggs were hidden all over the area in front of our prefab before the holidays.We had great fun hunting for them!

Our senses

We have been learning about the senses - smell,sight,touch,sound and hearing.
We played blindfold games and also tasted different kinds of food.

Dinosaurs

We have been learning about dinosaurs - the different kinds of dinosaurs and what they liked to eat and the fact that they are now extinct .The children made clay dinosaurs and did a great job.

Ronan's fiddle

Ronan has started learning the fiddle and he brought it in to show us and let some people have a go on it.

He is very good.

Our plants

Some of our broadbean plants got really big - we hope they keep growing and turn into beanstalks!

Viking runes

We collected stones on the beach ,and the children painted them and did their own Viking runes on them!

Vikings

We learned about Vikings recently - where they came from,the kind of ships they sailed,how they wrote.
We did freezeframes of different Viking activities -feasts,war,trading and farming.
