We made our own magic potions as part of our story 'George's Marvellous Medicine' - some were delicious and some were disgusting!

We had a wonderful trip on Wednesday to Herring Green Farm in Bedford. This was part of our topic 'Up, Up and Away'. We got to see over 60 different types of bird and were lucky enough to handle an owl and a bird of prey. We then learnt about skunks, bearded dragons and guinea pigs. It was super!

Autumn 2 Update
The children in Pearl class each had their own sparkler which they loved using to make shapes and spell their name. Sparklers are one of the 'light sources' which the children have been learning about. They also explored a halloween pumpkin and learnt about candles being a source of light.
David and Sanya found some magic beans when out in the garden area - they could be the magic beans from our story 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.
We all had great fun playing 'guess who's in the box' when Jacqueline bought in a giant cardboard box one day! ​
Please take a look at our Curriculum Map below. This will give you an insight to what we are up to this half term!

This half term in literacy, Pearl class are focusing on the story of ‘Walking Through The Jungle’. We will be doing lots of descriptive writing and imagining we are on our own jungle adventure. We will write a diary entry of our jungle experience and roleplay being different characters.
In maths we will be rotating each week by focusing on number, shape, position and measure. Every day we will practice using money at our class snack shop. This is a fantastic way for the children to practise using real money to buy their own snack food every day and they love it!
Our topic is ‘Let’s Go Wild’ which we are all very excited about – especially as we will have a trip to the Zoo in the third week of September. The children will learn about different animals, their habitats and diets.
We will be having a RHS Burger Bake Off as part of our cookery.
