We have learnt about new life and identified the names of baby animals. This will be a topic we will continue into the next week term.  After the holiday we are going to change our wood walk day to a Wednesday.

 Hello all, To mark the British Science week, we carried our different experiments in Foundation. On Monday, we  placed flowers in the coloured water to learn about the function of the stem in plants and we planted cress.  On Tuesday, we explored magnetic and non-magnetic objects. We used magnets and metal objects to create movement on paper. On Wednesday we launched a rocket into Space which was super exciting! On Thursday we made  created a volcano to eruption. This week on Thursday,  Reception class took part in an interactive Science workshop. The children mixed different liquids to create colourful potions. We have explored dry ice and we all eagerly watched another exciting eruption of soda in the school playground. We know, that all of it was done not by magic but by scientific discoveries. We are all inspired by our latest science experiences and and we are keen to learn more. Phonics In phonics we were learning to read words ending with two or more digraphs. Maths In Maths the
