Now that we have a Rainforest in our school we needed some animals! So we worked in pairs to plan how we could make a realistic 3D model of a Rainforest animal. It was very tricky but we managed it in the end. We then hid our Animals around our classroom. Next to our animals we now [...]
The waterfall was made out of paper mache as the rocks , strips of tissue paper as the blue water , cardboard boxes to make it look 3D and bubbles at the bottom.
The waterfall group enjoyed making it because it was a messy job and it was also very fun, it also got us out of work a couple [...]
We are still working very hard to transform our classroom into a living rainforest. We have also written our veryown story books about a Secret Forest. You can see them hanging on the wall in our class.
We built a tribe hut in our classroom. We had to do a lot of problem solving to decide how we would construct it and it took team work to build it. What do you think?
We have been using our research skills to find relevant and interesting facts about the Rainforest. Then we have been recording these facts in our own words to create a factfile. Did you learn anything new from our factfiles?
Before the summer holiday each of the classes voted for their favourite name for our new vegetable garden. The winner was Castle Garden!
We planted lots of vegetables and we also planted sunflowers. We did our best to look after them until the school closed for the summer holidays. When we came back 7 weeks later [...]
For the past few weeks, if you have been in our near our classroom, you may have noticed some changes. We have been secretly transforming our classroom into the Amazonian Rainforest. So far we have experimented with lots of art materials to make leaves and draw some Rainforest animals.
We have also been challenged to create some [...]
We have success! Or at least we have a radish! Have a look at the pictures to see how the veggies are getting on. Unfortunately our vegetable patch still isn’t as impressive as P1s and it looks as if someone has eaten the strawberries that were in the P6 plot!
We finally managed to find the time to plant some veggies! After lots of weeding on Friday, today we added compost and planted carrots, brussels, cauliflower, beetroot, radishes, courgette, butternut squash and some pumpkin seeds. We took the approach of plant lots and hope that some survive!
This week we had the chance to see our new Eco Garden for the first time. There were lots of ‘oohs and ‘aahs’ as we stepped through the gate for the first time!
We voted with our feet and chose the raised bed we thought we would like to use.
