Muck Mess and Mixtures

Have a look at all the interesting things we will be doing this half term.

Engage

For our engage stage of the 'Muck, Mess and Mixtures' topic the children went into Forest School and had the opportunity to explore lots of different mixtures.  They had great fun in the Mud Kitchen making gooey, mud pies.  Custard, shaving foam, cornflour and slime were some of the other materials the children were able to explore and they thought of suitable adjectives to describe them.

English 5.6.18

The children have been looking at the features of instructions.  They followed a set of instructions to make some gooey, sticky slime.  Later in the week the children will be writing their own instructions to make slime.

In English this week the children will be writing their own poems using their senses.  We all went outside on a sense trail to help with ideas.

Sport's Day 27.06.18

Key Stage 1 Sport's Day was fantastic.  The children were split into six different teams and took part in a variety of races.  All the children eagerly cheered their team as they were taking part. The turn out from parents was amazing and as there were so many volunteers for parent race we had to hold several.   Congratulations to the White Team who were the winners of the competition.
