This term our topic is 'Supermarket'. We enjoyed our class trip to Tesco where we were lucky enough to learn all about the day to day running of the store.
We even went behind the scenes and visited the warehouse.

Here we are in the bakery. This was one of our favourite areas we watched Matthew the baker make bread. We were lucky enough to taste bread and doughnuts.
We also went in the freezer but as you can imagine we didn't stay in there too long. We saw the fish monger who very kindly showed us the different types of fish.
A big thank you to everyone at Tesco especially to Paula who made us all feel very welcome.
Science Week
The children have enjoyed participating in a number of science activities this week. Where possible we have linked the activities with our topic 'Supermarket'.
We tested bags to see which ones were waterproof. We experimented with cress and learnt what plants need in order to grow and be healthy.
Some dinosaurs some how got frozen in water so we had to find out which was the quickest way to free them.
The most popular science experiment was to make bread. We made the bread with Mrs Chau and found out what was needed to make the bread rise and taste nice.
The children really enjoyed having the parents coming in and experiencing what they had learnt. We even set them some challenges.

'Dens and Dandelions'.
This term our topic is 'Dens and Dandelions'. The project has a forest skills and science focus which teaches the children about plants, flowers, trees and creatures found in a woodland habitat. The topic involves us spending a lot of time outside so fingers crossed for good weather. If anyone has any resources they feel would be useful to our topic they would be gratefully received. Keep checking the page for regular updates and pictures showing the children hard at work. Reminders * Please provide your child with a drink of water and a piece of fruit for afternoon play. * P.E.day is a Friday please provide your child with the appropriate kit (leggings/joggers, shorts and t-shirt). * Reading - Please make sure all reading folders are returned to school on a Wednesday. |
