Making Memories

Rowan

This week Rowan class have been looking at animal adaptations in their habitats project. They had a look at how different prey animals adapt to survive being eaten, including their use of speed, armour, weapons and camouflage. They then coloured in four moths, two that were camouflaged and two that were not camouflaged. They hid them around the new forest school area and then some Year 3 'Moth hunters' tried to find as many as they could. They managed to find 12 camouflaged ones and 16 non-camouflaged ones, showing the importance of camouflage. 

Birch

This week Birch Class have been using clay to make their own Beaker Bell pots. The children looked closely at the patterns on Beaker Bell pottery from the Bronze Age and had a lot of fun trying to recreate these patterns in their own designs.

Sycamore

Sycamore class have had a brilliant time in Minstead, earning beads linked to the Keys to Success. The weather was perfect for the long walk and exploring the great outdoors in The New Forest. We really value the experience that Minstead provides, not only is it a magical place, it helps to prepare our children for being more independent and looking forward to other trips and experiences such as Stubbington. 

Aspen

This week in Aspen class the children have been working hard on their hockey skills, they have remembered the basics of passing and shooting. We even had a short match at the end!

Elm

This week Elm class have been exploring the differences between processed and homemade bread. We looked at the long list of ingredients in a normal processed loaf and then made our own bread using much less ingredients! Most of us decided that the home made bread tasted better (particularly with some honey). In Computing the children have been creating their own webpages. They will use this skill in English next week to publish their finished outcomes.
