We helped Harold the giraffe decide what food/drink was safe to go into his body. We then discussed how medicine is safe to go into our body if we feel poorly and a trusted adult helps us. We dressed up as doctors/nurses and pretended to administer medicine safely by reading the labels. 

Ash class spent some time exploring non fiction texts including newspapers, leaflets, recipe books and instruction manual. 

Year 1 were playing a game where they were turning over number cards and challenging their peers to write a number within 20 correctly! They enjoyed being mini teachers :)

In geography we have been learning all about weathering and erosion. 

Today we completed an experiment to help us understand the different ways that weathering and erosion can affect landscapes. 

We used sand, water and ice and observed the movement of the sand particles. 

Elm class have been out enjoying a snow day today!

As soon as we saw snow falling we headed outside to build snowmen and have snowball fights. 

As we enjoyed ourselves we also learnt lots about weather, states of matter, forces and structures!

Ash Class have been having fun with the snowy animals in the shaving foam to represent waking up to more snow!
