Welcome to Mrs Reeves's and Mrs Baillie's Class page
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Butler and Mrs Coleman.
Have a look at all of the exciting things we will be learning about this half-term.
In DT we designed and made our own moving vehicles. We explored the idea of using an axle to help our wheels to turn and had to keep making improvements to our vehicles to make sure they were strong and secure, but could still move!
This week in Forest School we used saws to help us make our own log dogs. We also went fishing in the pond. We didn't catch any fish, but we did identify lots of other creatures like red worms.
We had a very muddy Forest School session today where we toasted marshmallows over the fire and made animal footprint clay sculptures.
This week in Forest School we had our Wassail celebration. We created sprites to live in the trees, and decorated the trees around school using wool. Then we had a Wassail parade to help us wake all of the trees up ready for spring!
We began our new topic with a walk of the local area. Can you see the features we spotted? We also had chance to play on the park.
In Forest School today we made dens using branches from Christmas trees. We also made creatures out of teasels and enjoyed some hot chocolate!
We had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas. We made cards, calendars and even took part in a festive quiz.
As part of our Personal Study this week we created artwork showing the animals we have been researching. We wrote information texts about these animals, explaining their classifications and talking about what they eat.
We enjoyed lots of Halloween activities during our last Forest School session. We made spooky witch wands and disgusting magic potions!
We visited Chapel on Monday to celebrate the Harvest Festival. Back at school, we learnt all about how important the harvest is and made posters to show our thanks.
In Forest School this week we made popcorn over the fire. It was delicious! We also hunted for signs of autumn and made our own autumn crowns.
We had an incredibly wet Forest School session this week! We made conker comets and had a go at some map reading too.
This week in Forest School we made apple bird feeders. We also had a go at making shelters between two trees using tarpaulin, rope and tent pegs.
We had a fantastic first session in Forest School this week. We did some forest bathing, pond dipping and even made our own ink out of blackberries!
We have been busy learning about different classifications of animal as part of our Marvellous Me topic work. We learnt about their different features and created artwork to show this. We also had a visit from Sue from the Zoo (who looks suspiciously like Mrs Reeves!)
The Oxford Owl website has lots of really useful videos to help you with Phonics at home. Click the link below to have a look at a helpful video which shows you how to correctly pronounce all 44 sounds.
