Lunar New Year

The children have been learning about Lunar New Year.

They listened to the story of how each year is named after an animal. 
This year is the year of the horse.

The children used story props to retell the story.

The children had an animal hunt.
They made a list of the animals they found in the Lunar New Year story.

The children used scissors and glue to create their own lanterns.

Our favourite part of the week was tasting a range of food from East Asia.

Year 3 Antartica Project

 Over the winter break, the children were set a project to create Antarctica linking to our Geography topic of climates. 

Geography - Comparison of local area

On Thursday, Year 5 walked around our local area making comparisons to that of Everest Base Camp - a virtual trip we watched in the morning. Lots was learned and honed our observational skills.

Geography Year 1

 We went outside to look what signs we could see that showed us what season it is!

Our local area

As part of our topic, Ourselves and Homes, we went for a local walk to look at different types of homes.

Before we left, the children looked at a map of the area to see the route we were going to take.
They identified our school and the fields.

As it is Road Safety Week, the children learnt about how to keep safe on the roads. 

They wore their reflective jackets to be seen.

The children's task was to find different types of homes.

The first home we found was a detached house. 

The children talked about the different parts of a house.

We even found a fire station!

The children found some flats. They talked about how there are families living on each floor.

On our return to school, the children found a bungalow. 

They told us that bungalows do not have stairs.

Back in class, the children recorded what they had seen during our local walk.

The children spent the afternoon creating their own maps of our walking route.

They used Busy Things to talk about directions.

It was a fun day!
