Check out our summer outcome with a focus on film and fairy tales. We chose ‘The 3 little pigs’ as our core text and used the story to discuss and describe the role of a villain. For our artwork we used construction techniques to build each house.

As we begin to innovate the middle part of the 3 little pigs story. We explored different materials that we could use to adapt our story. Ava said “The suger cubes are hard they would make a strong house”. Aris said “The feathers are weak. The wolf could blow them away”.

This week we have been looking at ‘wanted posters’. The children been looked at words to describe the wolf. They used these words to create a descriptive sentence they could add to their own poster. @foxfield @IPAT_Edu

We have explored weight. We made predictions on what objects would weigh the heaviest and the lightest. We then used the scales to identify which objects were heavier and which were lighter. We found that the toy tiger was the lightest and that brick was the heaviest.

After the thunderstorm we had lots of snails visit our playground. The children collected some and gave them leaves to feel comfortable. Louie said “Snails like rain because they like a little bit of water” I know snails like crawling out in the night”. @foxfield @IPAT_Edu

This week in maths we are focusing on sharing, so we invited some story characters for a picnic. The children will have the opportunity to share between characters thinking about how that can divide the food equally making sure it is ‘fair’

Today we talked about how bees help with pollination. We experimented using glitter and watched how it was transferred from one flower to another. We also looked at where the pollen can be found on a real flower. Zaida said “I’m a bee, I moved the pollen to different flowers”

This term we’re learning about the importance of bees. This week the children are ‘buzzing’ with excitement engaging in their immersive environment. Labelling a bees body, using fine motor skills to move ‘pollen’ into the ‘hive’ and getting creative making their own bees.

We have been retelling stories using story maps and story mountains to help us with the beginning, middle and end. Alizah wanted to retell the story of The hungry caterpillar using the story mountain that she made. She hopes you enjoy it.

Today the children enjoyed tasting a variety of dishes from different cultures, whilst discussing what they liked and disliked. Dexter said “I liked it (quiche) ‘coz it was well creamy”. Aris said “My favourite was the pasta (spaghetti bolognaise) because I can suck it up”.
