Below are some photos of what the Robins have been up to over the past two weeks.
In Literacy we have been reading lots of different Fairy Tales to inspire our own Fairy Tale writing. We did some role play of one of our favourites – Little Red Riding Hood. The children thoroughly enjoyed getting into character!
During our topic lessons we have been learning about the Inuit people including where they live and how they hunt. We discovered that the Inuit like to carve images into soapstone, so we had a go using bars of soap! We were very pleased with the end result.
In Art we have been looking at photographs of the Northern Lights and recreating some of the photographs using chalks on black paper.
During a topic lesson about homes in the frozen parts of our planet we watched a video of Inuit people building an igloo as a form of temporary shelter. We had a go at making mini igloos using sugar cubes. We found it very tricky when it came to the roof!
In Science we have been learning about different materials and their properties. In last weeks Science lesson we foccussed on floating and sinking. We experimented with different materials and tested whether they would float or sink. We then worked in groups to make boats using 4 types of materials. All the groups boats floated apart from the clay boat which was far too heavy.
We have not let the weather put us off during our Forest Schools sessions on Friday afternoons. In the past two sessions we have made kites, built homes for fairies and goblins and played lots of team building games. In the coming weeks we hope to do some fire lighting and campfire cooking.
