The Reception Classes were lucky enough to have a drama workshop about the Gruffao and The Bad Tempered Ladybird. We acted out the story and really enjoyed ourselves.
Rowan Class are learning lots about Materials in Science this term. We have looked at man-made and natural materials and also at whether you can change the shape of some materials by twisting, bending or stretching them. We investigated whether these changes were reversible or irreversible.
The highlight of the lesson on Tuesday was the great “Curly Wurly Challenge”. Each table group was given a Curly Wurly chocolate bar and the task to try and stretch it as long as possible in 3 minutes. We had to work in teams and quickly realized that the softer the toffee was the easier it became to stretch it. Messy!
Cars table came top with 46cm, closely followed by Tractors 35.5cm, Boats 30cm, Trains 29cm and Planes with24cm. Well done everyone.
We didn’t break the world record, but we sure had fun trying.

We have started to learn the story of best friends, Gerda and Kay in “The Snow Queen.” We have made notes about the story and looked at the language used in the book; in particular, the adjectives used.
Our Science Topic has changed to Materials and we enjoyed sorting materials into groups.
