A Monarch Butterfly

On the way to school this morning, Artemis and her Mummy found a monarch butterfly drying her wings.  We took a picture to remember it, then we set it free.

Grass seed head

Hannah made a grass seed head.  He is called 'Grassy'!
She has written down the instructions for us in case  you want to make one at home too:

First you have to do this. Find some old fabric and put some soil in the fabric then

leave it for one day after one day decorate it. After you decorate it then you put some water in a cup so you can put the grass seed in it.  Wait for it to grow! You can give it a hair cut.

We have been learning about shapes at school.  This song will help you to practise your shape facts.

This week we have been learning about the letter 'n'.  We took the video camera out to the school field and we were noisy, nasty aeroplanes!

Swimming

What a fantastic afternoon we had in the school pool on Friday afternoon.  Lots of our senior children came along to help as well as some sensible helpers from Room 6.  Barbara is a life-guard, so she came along too. We had 4 different activities in the pool and 2 things to do to warm up in the sun! 

With Mrs Mudge we had a dressing up race and an egg and spoon race in the water. With Miss Rhodes we used our noses to push the balloons across the water and we had a treasure hunt!  Out of the pool Mrs Moses and Mrs Brown helped us to hook a duck out of the pond and create some pavement chalk drawings.  

Letter of the week

This week our letter of the week is the letter 'p'.  We used the school cameras to take pictures of as many things beginning with p that we could find.  How many can you see on the slide show?
