We had so much fun and learned lots!
We have loved reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and have been mesmerised by our caterpillars in the classroom and have really enjoyed watching them grow and change.
It seemed only right to create our very own beautiful butterflies.

Today we watched our first four butterflies fly away. It’s been quite magical watching them 🐛🦋
To introduce our new story ‘The Enormous Turnip’ we immersed our classroom and turned it in to our very own farm! The children had a fabulous day, click the link to see more…
It has been raining blossom today in F2!
The children have loved getting in the garden more as the weather starts to feel warmer!
We have noticed lots of spring changes around us like our lovely blossom tree which had grown over the Easter Holidays bringing us a lovely surprise.
We have also noticed lots of nature around us waking up and have been enjoying looking for minibeasts.
We have enjoyed learning all about Spring…a time of growth and colour!!
Our new story is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. To help us learn all about caterpillars and how then transform into butterflies we have got some REAL baby caterpillars so that we can watch them grow and change.
The children have been intrigued by them already!
Jax said, “They’re crawling, they can actually crawl on their own, that one just crawled up!”
Blake said, “I can see that one climbing.” Nevaeh added, “It’s on the wall.”
Finnley said, “They’re eating, eating the food.” He was right.
Freddie told us, “They’re ‘gonna’ get big!”
We can’t wait to watch them grow and change.
This week has been Science Week, and in year 5 we have taken part in the BBC Live Lesson. During this session, the children learned about space and light, which linked to our Autumn term science topic on Space, where we explored the sun, moon, orbiting, and the other planets in our solar system.
In our science lessons this week, we continued learning about the human life cycle, focusing on the final stage: old age. The children discussed how our bodies change as we grow older and what we can do to support a healthy lifestyle throughout our lives. They then created informative posters highlighting ways to stay healthy to promote a better quality of life in old age.
Whilst we have been reading We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, we have explored all of the environments that the family discover on their walk. We thought mud was brilliant but not half as exciting as creating our very own swirling, whirling snowstorm!
To start with, we watched how snow calmly and gently falls from the sky. Then we watched a storm and talked about why the snow was moving around in different directions. Jacob was able to tell us that it was because the wind was blowing it.
Yesterday the children had practised their cutting skills and snipped up lots of tiny pieces of white paper. Blake gave it a blow but it just wasn’t enough. What could we do?
We needed something that we could ‘waft’ to create lots of ‘wind’ so we decided to use our clipboards. The results were amazing!
Watch the videos below to see how we retold some of the story, with some of us trying hard to use British Sign Language at the same time, and then creating our amazing swirling, whirling snowstorm.
A great day in F1!
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for exploring winter!
