We learnt to play instruments to a beat in music this week. We had to read the musical notes 🎵 🎶 and work out if it was a slow or quick beat, playing this on our instruments.

We created mind maps this week, full of our knowledge from the Stone Age.
We have already learnt so much, this will help us with our non-fiction writing next week. We shared our knowledge with each other, we have collected so many facts.

We have been exploring authentic Stone Age artefacts this week. We learnt so much about each different object, what is was and how it was used.

To celebrate our learning of the Stone Age, we have had an experience day! We dressed up, made fires, built dens, made jewellery and created Stone Age paintings outside. We drank herbal tea by the camp fire and cooked and ate quails eggs too. We have loved experiencing a day from the Stone Age, the children really showed off their learning!

We learnt all about light safety and how and why the sun can be dangerous. The children then designed their own sun-safety item and used scientific language to try and ‘sell it’ to their teachers.

We have been exploring cave paintings from the Stone Age. We researched why cave paintings were made and how, then created our own. We were inspired to transformed our classroom!

We discovered some preserved insects at forest schools this week. The children LOVED this, learning about all the different creatures and seeing them up close.

In science we have been investigating light and reflections. We learnt about how light travels and how we see objects, plus how reflections are made. We explored this through mirror writing and creating mirror mazes! 💡

We have been learning to turn a rhythm into a tune today in music. The wonderful Mrs Watkinson taught us this through listening to music, clapping a beat, beginning to read music notes and using this to play a tune.

We have been developing our football skills, learning different ways to control and pass the ball using 6 different parts of the foot.
