Today we had the power to make recycled art!
Thank you to all those parents and carers who came to help out with our creative workshop today, we couldn't have done it without you!
The children and parents looked like they were having such a good time. We have been learning all about materials and recycling linked to our story Superworm. So today we made birds and spiders from recycled material, please have a look on our trees on the trim trail and you'll see the children's amazing creations.
Thanks to Mrs Maker for a brilliant workshop

We've Got The Power!
We have been learning all about different super heroes and their powers. We have also started to read the story Superworm by Julia Donaldson. This has inspired us to go on a bug hunt and create our very own class wormerys.

Is Robin Hood a Hero or a Villain?
Year 1 collected their ideas, explaining why they thought Robin Hood was a hero or a villain. They presented their case and put forward their arguments, following this they voted and the verdict was that Robin Hood was a Hero.

Robin Hood is going to help us save Egbert from the Big Bad Knight!
World Book Day
Our Mystery Break In!

In maths we used the Big Bad Knights footprint to help us estimate his height.
Inspired by the local legend Robin Hood we had a go at making our own bow and arrows out of clay.

Science - The egg drop challenge
IMG_1006.MOV
This Week we have been conducting a science investigation to find out which material will best protect the egg, when dropped from the Infant Playground onto the Junior Playground. The egg will be in a cup attached to a parachute made out of a plastic bag to slow down its fall.
We had a great time visiting Italy!
Our 'Reading Parent Workshop' was a huge success the children loved sharing their learning with their adults.
Canada
Today we have been on the Maid of the Mist boat tour at Niagara Falls. The children put on their waterproof coats, felt the force of the water moving the boat and the mist spraying over their faces. The children have learnt a little bit about the different sports they can play in Canada, we will find out more about these later in the week. We have spotted some Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears. I can't wait to see what we will do tomorrow!
