Reception were investigating magnets.
Year 2 were learning about friction – which material was the best for rolling a car on?
Year 1 were finding out all about how air can be a force. Which balloon rocket went the furthest? Why?
The term ended with a Christmas Jumper Day where everyone wore a festive jumper to add to the pre Christmas celebrations.
A Christingle Assembly was held at the end of the day. Every child had made their own Christingle which were all lit to add to the atmosphere in the hall. Some Year 2 children read about the history of the Christingle and each year group sang a song from their nativity or concert. It was an excellent way to celebrate Christmas before we all went home.
Merry Christmas to all!
We painted self-portraits. We looked carefully in the mirror at our different skin, hair and eye colours and experimented with colour mixing. We are learning to select colours for a specific purpose and to make darker and lighter shades of a colour. We also tried to control our paintbrushes carefully so that we were able to fill in the shapes that we had drawn. We are now enjoying spotting similarities and differences between ourselves and our friends.
