Reception have been very excited about the Treasure Chest the pirates have left us to look after. We have kept in touch with the pirates via Twitter! It has captured their imagination and made them all very excited to write! 

Over the past few days we have observed the butterflies emerge from their chrysalises, watched them dry their wings and feed on oranges and enjoyed watching them flutter around in their net. Today we had to set them free! We gathered on the grass and opened the netting, letting them fly away. Some…

The very hungry caterpillars have spent the last few days feeding and over the weekend they transformed! We were very careful and moved them out of their tubs and clipped them inside their new net home, ready for when they emerge from their chrysalises......

As part of our topic on Minibeasts, we have got our own butterfly pavillion. They were sent to us as larva and we are observing them grow into caterpillars. The image at the top shows our caterpillars on Friday 10th March, and the image at the bottom shows them just four days later, on Tuesday…

We have been celebrating Chinese New Year this week in 4W.

We started by learning about the country China and then performed the zodiac animal story. We even wrote diary entries for some of the characters. Using the Ipads, we researched the typical personalities…

Today we explored how people celebrate Chinese New Year. We watched a 'dragon dance' in the hall and listened to 5M's brilliant assembly which told us lots of information about China. We came back to our classroom and tried some Chinese food; Sweet and sour noodles, seweed, prawn crackers and…

Today, we have conducted a science experiment. We talked about what we thought might happen to the sweets once we added water to them. Some children thought they would break, some children said they would float and another child said they might even change colour. We arranged the sweets into…
