Class 1

Today Ralph came to visit us and we all got to work as a team to give him a relaxing bath. We were very gentle and learned more about caring for a dog as we bathed him. Ralph shook off the water on his coat and soaked us!

We decorated our own tiger biscuits for our tiger tea party! We used our fine motor skills to squeeze the icing pen and spread the orange icing. We hope the greedy tiger doesn't gobble, munch and scoff them!

Today we rescued animals that were stuck in the muck. We explored the mucky cornflour and saved the animals that were stuck in the muck. The muck was squelchy! Slurp, suck, squelch!

Today we had to search for lots of oi words in the sand and read them! We also discovered some words with other digraphs and trigraphs hidden in them and some sentences to read! We collected and arranged the coins on tens frames to see how many we had read as a team! 

We poured think double cream into a jar and turned it into butter by shaking it as fast as we could as a team! We needed our strong muscles to shake the cream inside the jar. The buttermilk separated from the big lump of yellow butter inside the jar. We tried the creamy butter on some soft bread…

We had some 9 day old chicks visit us in class one. We learned about the food they eat and the life cycle of a chick. The chicks were fluffy, had sharp nails and cheeped! 

We printed 3D shapes to look closely at the faces and other properties of the 3D shapes.  We also explored sliding, rolling and stacking them! 

This week we finished our Easter unit with a cross, made from recycled materials, ready to hang in our faith corner. Well done all, it looks beautiful! 

We have been drawing Easter and spring themed pictures and learning how to write Easter themed words. 

This week, Class 1 have been to the farm. We made bread, collected eggs from the hens, and saw lots of animals! 

Today we used a whisk to create aqua foam using chick pea water, cream of tartar and food colouring. We used it in our potions and mud kitchen creations!
