SPACE DAY 2023
An out of this world day was had by all on Space day! We loved dressing up and travelling around the different classes taking part in some awesome activities such as straw blow rockets, creating planet art work, making rocket kebabs and blasting our very own rocket into the sky. Check out some of our fabulous photos.

Meeting fossil hunters Sally and Nev
Otter class have really enjoyed learning about the famous fossil hunter Mary Anning who lived over 200 years ago. We have also been lucky enough to meet modern day fossil hunters Sally and Nev who shared many of their finds including huge mammoth bones and a T-Rex footprint. They wowed us with their dinosaurs facts and we even got to hold a real meteorite.

Design a dinosaur project!
We had great fun designing our own dinosaurs in DT looking closely at joining techniques and finishing our models to match our initial design. We then wrote about our dinosaurs in English using adjectives in our expanded noun phrases to really paint a picture of what they were like. We set our classroom up as a museum to show off our exhibits and welcomed Mrs Acres and our family to come and take it look. It was a ROARING success!

A big thank you to Kelly from the Cat’s Protection Charity for coming along to speak to us about the fantastic work they do with cats and how we can look after them properly. We especially enjoyed the games and finding out about what cats actually need.

Paws, claws and whiskers at The Equator, Arctic and Antarctic
We have been learning lots about the continents of our world and what it is like to live near the equator. We have also begun to explore animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic by creating our own Polar scenes. We are looking forward to learning lots more Polar facts this term including where Father Christmas lives!

Geography
Otter class enjoyed an early walk down to Pentylands park. We identified human and physical features of our locality along the way and also spotted lots of paws, claws and whiskers! We had our snack, playtime and a little chill out watching the clouds before we walked back up the hill.
