Class of 2027

In art, we learnt about primary and secondary colours. We practised colour mixing! The Koala's loved seeing what colours they could create using the primary colours.

We wanted to know and find out how penguins keep warm in Antarctica. We discovered that penguins have blubber to help keep them warm. We did a science experiment using ice water and lard to test it! We had to put our hand in the ice water to see how long we could last with it - not very long! Then…

Our Forest School learning this term.

This term, we have been learning the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. We have acted out the story, created a hinge to trap the wolf and tested which material would make the best roof for the little pigs house. We also looked at Native American wolf masks and created our own! 

Our question for this term is 'What do buildings need?'. We had a builder come to Koala class and we were able to ask questions, as well as see how all the tools work.

We made our sandwiches for our picnic. Once again, the Koala's worked so hard and I've never had the classroom as quiet as it was once they were eating their sandwiches haha!
Koala quotes: 'This is the best sandwich I've ever had'
'How can I save this last bite for the rest of my life'

We started our morning off today by making our teddy bear puppets! The Koala's worked so hard on these

Forest school fun! 
We've created our own Stick Men and made homes for our creatures that live in the deep, dark wood. 

We had an Autumnal afternoon to celebrate the first day of Autumn.

We went on an Autumn scavenger hunt, where we then found leaves to turn into animals from the Gruffalo!
We also learnt if all trees lose their leaves - we discovered that some trees are 'evergreen' and some are 'deciduous'. We…

Fledglings have been learning about the human impact on our oceans and today we saved the sea animals from an oil spill! 

We learned about the catastrophic effects of pollution on our seas, and what can happen when petrol, oil and chemicals end up in the oceans. We discussed what can happen to…

Our learning about sea creatures reached new depths this week...
Our poor classroom will never smell the same again! 
Miss Riggs presented us with a mystery box. We used our senses of touch and smell to explore what we could before the lid was removed and we could use our sense of sight too!

Fledglings have taken a deep breath this week and dived under the sea! We now know that some animals have gills and can breath under water. Some have blow holes and just hold their breath. We’ve loved watching octopus move, and also learned about them squirting ink when they are scared. Check out…
