We hope you enjoy seeing the photos and videos of the events below- To view the videos please right click on the link to download them.
Rabbit Class have been incredibly busy doing lots of brilliant learning across all areas of the curriculum!
In maths, we have been learning about position and direction. The children have really enjoyed using the language of position and direction correctly and it has been great to see them using this effectively in a variety of contexts. They even directed each other through a variety of mazes effectively!
Across our foundation subjects we have also enjoys lots of hands on learning. In Science, we have investigated our digestive system and recreated it with a variety of resources- the children really enjoyed finding out what happens to their food! We have also created some fantastic booklets about what animals need to survive. In computing we have been using a variety of programming software to create shapes and routes- our position and direction language helped us here too! In RE we have been thinking about the beliefs of Christians, Atheists and Agnostics and reflecting on how their beliefs help them decide what is right and wrong. We have also had a visitor who taught us about road safety and we now all know to remember ‘stop, look, listen, think’ when we are crossing roads. What a busy couple of weeks we have had!
We have had another busy couple of weeks in Rabbit Class- we have also taken advantage of the lovely weather have been having and have enjoyed taking some of our learning outside of the classroom- particularly in maths where we have explored both length and capacity using practical resources. We also used the sun to inspire our lovely ‘Thank you for the sun’ poems in English.
We have also been lucky enough to visit our local church to meet the new vicar- it was fantastic to be out in the local community and to learn more about the different parts of the church. During our computing learning we have also been exploring using branch diagrams. We thought of different yes or no questions to help us sort a variety of different objects successfully.
We have also been incredibly busy during our Science and DT learning where we have enjoyed lots of hands on learning. In science we have investigated the importance of hand hygiene and realised the amount of germs that can still be on our hands- even when we think we have washed them properly! In DT we have created some moving rabbit models- of which some will hopefully be a part of our local flower show! I was very impressed with the determination the children showed when creating the models to ensure they were successful.
Rabbit class have been incredibly busy taking part in their learning across all areas of the curriculum!
During E-safety week the children enjoyed learning all about how to keep themselves safe online, they thought about their digital footprints, online identities, considered the information they would and wouldn’t share online and came up with trusted adults who they would speak to if something worried them online.
In our English and Maths lessons we have been incredibly busy learning all about time, length and height and we have also sold some dragons! The children have really persevered with some tricky concepts and have used their skills to create some fantastic pieces of work!
We have also been immersed in our topic of ‘How do humans work?’. We have completed a variety of scientific investigations to help us understand how our bodies work- we have made our own lungs, observed the effects of exercise and learnt about oral hygiene. Along with this we have also created our own bug hotel to help our understanding of different habitats.
We have also enjoyed experimenting with natural dyes- we were really impressed with the different colours we created! We certainly have been busy in Rabbit Class!
