Kingfisher's Home Learning

This week Kingfisher class have been looking at the story The Gruffalo. We have had great fun reading the story, learning a Gruffalo song and looking at the habitats of the animals from the story.

Take a look at these fantastic pictures from one of our clever Kingfisher's home learning.

She made Gruffalo Crumble, Roasted Fox, Scrambled Snake, Owl Potato and Owl ice cream. They look delicious!

Steps & Books

 Good Afternoon, 

I hope you have all had a wonderful half term and are excited to be coming back to school on the 8th March. 

We have all been working really hard to get our steps up in order to complete our Great Wall of China challenge. 

Currently, we have walked... 

                            1600 miles

This means we are only 545 miles away from our target. We still the weekend to go and some miles have not yet been counted on our (very comprehensive) spreadsheet. 

We cannot thank you enough for the contributions you have made to our children and we are really excited to be able to give these books out. However, we are still a few books away from meeting our target. If you are able to contribute a book or two and help us get to our total of 270, it would be massively appreciated. The link to the books is below

Massive shoutout to Sammy in Jays class who has decided to join in with this challenge - he has been walking miles at the weekend to help us reach our target. Thank you Sammy!

Super Science from Kestrels

This half term Kestrels have been learning about light in Science. They have looked at how light travels, the parts of the eye and how we see things. This week they were exploring refraction and shadows by carrying out some simple investigations at home. 

These pictures are some examples of their work. They show what happens when light is bent (refracted) or blocked to created shadows.

You have all been amazing this half term.

We are all so proud of you all.
