If I could travel the oceans blue... 

This term, we have been learning all about oceans in the world, ocean animals and their habitats and we have made food chains for these habitats too. We also learned about what we can do to look after the oceans. In English, we all researched an ocean animal and wrote a report about it then we made habitat boxes that represent where our animals live and what they eat. We have labelled maps and to round up our topic, we went to the Sealife Centre and saw some of the animals that we researched. 

Look at our habitat boxes! 

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.
