Year 3/4’s Doodle Club got off to a good start yesterday. We have been inspired by our visiting artist, Charlotte Eldred. The children were really focussed on their tasks.

We had a visit from a Police Community Support Officer in F1. She told us all about her job and how she keeps people safe. We had a look around her Police car, and even got to sit inside. It was so exciting!
When the farm came to visit us in school.
Purple Pig came to visit F1. We had a really good time learning all about farm animals.
We watched the ducks splashing in the water. They were very messy.
The pigs were really hairy. They had curly tails too. They wag their tails when they are happy.
Orion the rabbit was really fluffy. We brushed its long hair.
Indie the cow was very soft and gentle. She had tiny udders. She munched on her hay and slept a lot in the sun.
The lambs were very cheeky and nibbled on our fingers. We fed them milk and they drank really fast.
In the story of The Little Red Hen the hen bakes some bread.

We have had such a wonderful day celebrating the King’s Coronation. We’ve learnt about the King, listened to the National Anthem, joined in the celebrations with red, white and blue cake and joined in with Coronation activities.
Some of us braved the rain and built a coach, with 4 horses, to carry King Charles to his palace. We hope it doesn’t rain as much tomorrow!
F1 have been busily creating maps for Old MacDonald so he knows where to find all the animals on his farm!
We’ve had an exciting time making and tasting soup today. It’s created a lot of chat and ideas.
First of all we explored the vegetables. There were some that the children hadn’t seen before.
Isla-Grey thought the swede might be an avocado. However, she knew that the second vegetable was a parsnip. Well done Isla-Grey!
We then worked hard to chop the vegetables up. Some of them were very hard. We had to make sure that they were quite small. The children had to find the big chunks that needed cutting smaller.
When the vegetables were ready we added some water and a stock cube. Ivy N knew that we had to cook the vegetables to make them soft.
When they were cooked we blended them until the soup was smooth.
Well done to (nearly) all the children for tasting our homemade soup too! Some of them thought it was delicious!
Charlotte Eldred is a local artist, based near to Hornsea. She came in recently to create some wonderful window art to help us celebrate our city and our cultural capital of London. She incorporated famous landmarks from both cities, symbols of importance (including our school badges for Christopher Pickering and Ganton). She is incredibly talented.
She was also very complimentary about the children in school and said how polite they had all been when they stopped for a chat with her and to ask questions whilst she created her masterpieces, which is always great to hear.
We’re going on an egg hunt,
We’re going to find a chocolate one.
It’s a rainy day
But we’re not wet!
F1 went searching around school to see if we could find the Easter Bunny. We had no luck at all…
…until we got back to the classroom!
We were so excited that the Bunny came to visit us. Thank you so much for our chocolate eggs too!
We’ve had a busy day in F1 being spectacular ‘writers’. The children have all created their own Hungry Caterpillar mini-book. We thought carefully about what happened in the story and wrote it down, we added illustrations and we practised reading our stories out loud together. Some children even took their books into Continuous Provision to keep working on them. Very impressive!
