Squirrel Class
Welcome to a new year in the Squirrel Class. We're really lucky this year as we have Mrs Slinn who is a new member of the Key Stage One team, working with the Squirrels in the mornings as our class TA. We have got lots of exciting things to look forward to this term and will take lots of photos to show you all of our wonderful learning.
If you ever need to contact Mrs Roberts, please do so through Class Dojo or using shughes@stanton.derbyshire.sch.uk
Look whoooo was awake at night....
We had a really good time at the topic night last week. We went on a torchlight nocturnal animal walk, made owl masks, hedgehog cakes, bats and night time pictures using sticks. On our walk, we answered questions and remembered lots of the facts that we have learned this term - this helped us to find the nocturnal animals on the field.
Fairy-tale topic day:
We really enjoyed our topic day at the end of last half term. We made gingerbread men, built houses for the 3 Little Pigs (Mrs Roberts and Mrs Slinn had to try to blow them down), we made wands and mirrors with positive thoughts and wishes on them and we made beanstalks with Mrs Fordham.
Art:
We have enjoyed painting fairy-tale characters in the art area. This week, we have made collages of the gingerbread house from the story of Hansel and Gretel. We cut out different sweets, chocolates and biscuits and put them on our pictures.
Science:
We have been enjoying investigating materials in Science. We looked at materials and identified some of their properties and this week we have tested materials to see if we could squash them, bend them, if they were transparent and if they would float or sink.
