Our first Mini mission is Rainbow Fish.

On Immersion Day we created a large Rainbow Fish to go on display in our topic corner. We had so much fun finger painting the colourful scales! 

We read the story of The Rainbow Fish and acted it out, using character face masks and then made stick puppets of our own. 

In Geography we will learn the names and locations of the World's continents and oceans and we will compare and contrast the physical and human features of Africa and the UK. 

In Science we have been learning about animals and their habitats. We have learned about how animals are suited to their habitats, for example polar bears have dense, waterproof fur that keeps them dry and warm in the snow.

We have also carried out an investigation into which type of micro-habitat woodlice prefer! 

In PSHE we have been learning about feeling and emotions. We have revisited the Zones of Regulation, identified different emotions and created our own toolbox to help us regulate our emotions ourselves. We have also discussed how different emotions create different physical feelings in our body. 

​​​​​​​

We have also learned techniques for how we can make ourselves feel better, when we are feel sad, angry, lonely, grumpy and tired. 

In Art, we have compared ocean artwork, learned how to create tints by adding white paint to blue. We used each tint to paint an ocean background.

We then used different collage techniques to create a character from The Rainbow Fish story. 

Can you see where we have torn, cut, twisted, coiled, folded and curled the paper?

On World Poetry Day we loved listening to Michael Rosen telling some of his hilarious poems! We especially loved Chocolate Cake! 

TIME TRAVELLERS

During this mini mission we will learn about significant events in History. We have placed events on a timeline and learned how we find out about events in history using primary and secondary sources.

Our main focus is the moon landing in 1969 and Neil Armstrong.

ODD SOCKS DAY 2024!! 

We wore odd socks to raise awareness about Bullying.

SPACE CENTRE TRIP

We had an amazing day at The Space Centre! We had a session in the Planetarium, where we learned how astronauts train and what dangers they face travelling into space. We climbed lots of stairs to get to different floors of the rocket, where we pressed lots of buttons, designed our own space rocket & watched it launch, completed puzzles and saw lots of space memorabilia! We also learned about planets, asteroids, put our foot inside Neil Armstrong's footprint and saw a real piece of the moon! We all behaved impeccably too!
