Farms and Growing
This half term we have been learning about life on a farm. We have discussed who works on a farm, different farm animals and food from a farm. We started this exciting topic with a school trip to Big Sheep Little Cow!

This summer term, the children have been very busy in all areas of learning.
Alfie has enjoyed learning how to measure the length or height of an object using cubes. He and the other children could compare two or three objects using the words longest, shortest and tallest. The children have also learnt how to use a balance to measure the weight of different objects and compare them.
The children have learnt a lot about carrying out scientific investigations. Jacob has used magnets to test different materials to find out if they were ‘magnetic’ or ‘non-magnetic’. The children had to make sensible predictions about what they thought the answer would be before using the magnets. Also, the children have been very excited to observe the changes to food when left out and talk about the process of decay.
Evie and Petal have been using a Beebot device, programing instructions to make it travel in different directions. Oliver and his friends have been really helpful making signs for the classroom to help us and our visitors. Kenley enjoyed carrying out a tally chart to find out his friends favourite superhero.

To start our exciting new topic Miss Bennett and Miss Turnbull asked us to ride our bikes and scooters or push our prams to school! We discussed the similarities and differences between a bike, a scooter and a pram. For example, we know a bike has two wheels but a scooter can have three wheels.
