Last week we learnt i, n, m, d. We have been practising blending and are getting better and better. I hope you are all practising at home too. Can you read these words?

To celebrate the end of our reception year we did some cooking on the open fire. We toasted marshmallows, made and cooked bread and ate pancakes cooked on a skillet.

 

We had a great day and everyone ate the food. 

A big thank you to Rosa’s mummy, Ethan’s mummy and Alice.

What a fabulous day we have had at the zoo! We saw lots of animals, eg lions, gorillas, crocodiles, penguins and lots of monkeys. We all behaved really well and our teachers are very proud of us. We held a Madagascan Hissing Cockroach, toyched a giant stuck insect and  stroked a snake. Thank you for all of our helpers.

Last week we were very busy in the garden.
First we dug the vegetable beds and removed all of the weeds.
Then we raked the soil and made holes and trenches in the soil.
After that we planted the seeds in neat rows.
Next we covered each seed with soil.
Finally we watered the seeds.

We planted onions, snap peas, potatoes, carrots, garlic, shallots, beetroot, butternut squash and pumpkin. Let’s hope they all grow!!!
We have water monitors and weed monitors to look after the plants every day.

Look at a sample of different independent writing we have been doing this week.

Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Sophie’s daddy who works as a Biomedical Scientist. He taught us about the protective clothes he needs to wear in his laboratory and all of the important jobs he has to do. We learnt that blood is pumped around the body by the heart and travels through arteries and veins. We also learnt that blood is made up of red cells, white cells and platelets.

Finally we played a Blood Transfusion  game where we had to choose the correct type of blood to give the patient.
Thank you so much for coming in. It was great fun!
