March Update

By Cillian & Max

It has been a very busy few weeks for us! We started our Living and Growing topic by planting some broad beans to watch them grow. We are trying to work out what a plant needs in order to be healthy. We have planted them in soil, given them water and put in them in a sunny spot in the classroom.  We then learnt a song about growing plants to help us remember the key things.

We have also planted potatoes as part of the RHET Super Sonic Spud Project. We were very lucky to have a visitor from the farming world come to visit us and tell us all about planting potatoes on a large scale.

On Thursday 7th March, we dressed up as our favourite character to celebrate  World Book Day. There were lots of book related activities throughout the day. We visited the library to “Ditch and Switch” our books – we all got to take a home a pre-loved book and we voted for our favourite authors and books. The best part of the day was the breakfast where we ‘shared a story’! Tesco had kindly donated lots of different food for us to have for breakfast – we could choose from cereal, fruit or toast with different toppings – whilst we read.

We are all learning about position. To learn about position we first looked at pictures and talked about where the fox was positioned – like ‘in the bush’ or ‘next to the house’. We drew some pictures of our own to show different positions.

We then used the iPad to make a book of different positional words and most of us climbed onto the tables to show ‘on top’!

In Art, we have been learning to weave. We had the choice of either doing a beach or a countryside landscape. We have had fun doing it as it is very relaxing. It’s difficult at first but it’s gets easier when you know how to do it. They are all really nice. Most people loved doing this activity and we would love to do it again.

We are also writing a diary entry about an air raid. We got some inspiration from the ‘Diary of Anne Frank’. People came up with some fabulous ideas.

In maths, we have been learning about the perimeter and area of shapes and we have enjoyed playing fun games involving centimetres and metres.
