Dreams

This week we have been recapping our art unit where we have focussed on dreams. We have discussed dreams we might have had and then as a group we planned and performed a dream sequence thinking about how our dreams could be unusual. We all had lots of fun performing to each other and taking on points which went well and how we might improve our ideas if we were to try again. 

Science Week

Today we celebrated science week and we took part in our own science experiment linked to our learning. We conducted an experiment where we looked at the effects drinks have on our teeth by testing the drinks against egg shells which acts like our enamel. We tested a total of six different drinks including juice, coke and water. The children are very excited to see the final results soon. 

Yoga

In school we have continued with Wellbeing Wednesday afternoons. The children have really enjoyed having a range of activities to take part in. This week we decided to do some Yoga where we followed the video carefully copying each yoga move. We followed the story of Moana and the children loved all of the different yoga poses which they had learnt linked to the film. 

Investigating Seasonal Foods

During our new DT unit we have been investigating a range of seasonal foods. We took time to predict what the foods were, what they would look like when cut and how they would feel. We were shocked by some of the fruits and vegetables which we looked at today as they were not what we expected. The children had fun investigating foods they might not have seen before.
