RAINFOREST!!!

Fri 5th July 2019

This week was arts week and the stimulus was The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. We read the story together admiring the wonderful images and discussing the impacts of deforestation.

We used recycled materials to create some leaves and trees for our very own rain forest. Thank you for all your donations.

Using sharpies and biro we created some chameleons on some bright backgrounds. The Year 3s also had a go at drawing some tree frogs whilst Year 4 went swimming. 

The children also enjoyed listening to the Rainforest song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ3ToUoW1ak&safe=true and used it to create musical instruments, dances and masks! 

All the children really immersed themselves in the activities, but a special shout out to Rose who took so much care and had a smile on her face the whole time! She also did really well in her reading assessment making sure she checked her answers.

We also looked at expressing yourself through colour. The children now know what the 3 primary colours are, the 3 secondary colours and even some tertiary ones! 

As part of learning about sound in science the children looked at animal ears and how they are different/similar to human - they also had a go at using sign language to sigh their names! 

On Friday came the snow....AND Jack was our star of the week! His story was fantastic and he worked so hard to include some superb vocabulary! A huge well done!

A week of hard work in Herons! 

Fri 21st September 2018

In Maths this week we have been counting in multiples of 10s, 100s and even 1000s form any given number as well as ordering and comparing a group of numbers! 

In English we have started writing our class explanation text all about Northampton, the children have worked really hard on this and I am pleased with all of their ideas! We have also just started designing our own towns and cities which the children loved! I look forward to seeing them write about these next week. 

We have just stared to look at the continent of Europe as part of our Topic 'Earth Explorers!' and the children worked collaboratively to produce some epic posters. 

A huge well done to Yoann who was star of the week this week! Yoann always shows me he is ready to learn and is such a enthusiastic member of the class.
