Marmalade Sandwiches

This week in writing we have been learning instructions for how to make a marmalade sandwich. We practised the story map and then the children made their own marmalade sandwiches. They had to practise following instructions with their partner, thinking about which bossy verbs to use and what order to do the instructions in. We loved trying the marmalade sandwiches. They were very tasty!

1C international cafe

This half term our topic is “We Are One”. Through this topic, we are learning about our country and what is means to be “one”. In our role play area we introduced an “International Cafe”. We looked at what countries our families are from and what kind of food we might eat in these countries.

Sewing

In D.T this week we practised the technique of sewing. We talked about what we might need sewing for and then practised how to do a running stitch. We used big netting and ribbon so that we could really focus on the technique of going in and out.

Sketching fish

In Art today we enjoyed sketching fish. We used a real fish from the supermarket to help us with our drawings. We had to think about what we already knew about fish like they have scales, gills and fins. We had to focus hard on drawing what we could see and taking our time. I was really impressed with how the children persevered and created some very careful, detailed drawings!

Animal poo investigation!

This week in Science we identified what a carnivore, herbivore and an omnivore is. As part of our learning around this, Mrs Tatham-Hall made some animal playdough poos with either “meat”, “plants” or both in. The children then had to dig around in their poos and decide if the animal this poo came from was a carnivore, herbivore or an omnivore. The children did some great investigation work. They then wrote questions about this and thought of which animal could have done this poo!
