Terrific Toys - Spring 1
We have had a lovely half term learning all about toys. We thought about toys that we play with, those that our mums and dads used to play with, and even those that our grandparents played with. We have written our own stories about toys, based on That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown and we especially enjoyed making toy vehicles in DT. Looking at the slideshow of our creations, I think you will agree that they are fantastic!
As part of our science learning, we thought about conducting simple tests. We planned what we were going to mix and predicted what we thought was going to happen. Luckily, there weren't any explosions like some of us thought there might be!
Finally, we had a fantastic time on number day. We learned some new games, had a go at lots of number puzzles and dressed up with a number theme. Have a look at some of the things we got up to.
All Creatures Great and Small - Autumn 2
Rabbits have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about animals this half term. Our favourite part was investigating poo to see what type of animal it came from - herbivore, carnivore or omnivore.
Wonderful Weather - Autumn 1
Rabbits class have had a fantastic half term learning all about the weather. We learned the names of the four countries of the UK, and their capital cities, and we filmed our own weather forecasts.
Scroll down to watch our forecasts and to see what else we have learned this half term.
In Science, we have been asking lots of questions! We wanted to find out what materials things around our school were made from, so we went on a materials hunt.
We also investigated which would be the best material to repair a torn umbrella.
Scroll down to see what else we have been learning.
We explored ice and tried to work out how we could melt it quickly to collect the items trapped inside.
Scroll down for more!
Finally, as part of our learning about Autumn, we decided that we wanted to know what was inside a pumpkin. We had a lot of fun picking all of the seeds out with tweezers.

Homework
Reading - Remember to read at least five times a week and to complete the weekly reading homework task. Record these on your home reading record sheet. Reading books should be brought into school each day. Reading books and home reading record sheets need to be brought into school on Friday, so books can be changed and children can receive their Read 5, Hi 5 sticker for completing their reading homework.
Children will be given spellings to complete as homework. Please support your child in learning these. Where children do not get their spellings correct, they will be sent the same spellings again for up to 3 consecutive weeks. Children who have not been practising their spellings at home may be asked to stay in at breaktime on Friday to be given additional support in learning them.
