On Friday, we went on a trip to Stoke Bruerne Canal Museum. We had a fabulous boat trip down the Grand Union Canal and we went inside Blisworth tunnel. We also visited the museum, helped to open and close the lock and dressed up in the clothes that canal children would have worn. We also had a picnic right next to the canal and it was a lovely sunny day!
KS1 had a fantastic morning learning about recycling. They sorted rubbish and looked at how some things which we can’t recycle can be made into other items. Thank you Oxford City Council!
Opal and Crystal class had a lovely afternoon sketching the school building. We were looking at shapes in the building as well as concentrating on sketching what we can see – not what is in our head! We sketched it twice so we had the chance to make it better. The children did some beautiful sketches, full of detail.
This afternoon, the whole of KS1 had a brilliant time making vegetable kebabs! This fit in with our healthy eating topic. Everyone had a go at cutting and then made their own kebab based on the design they did yesterday. Mr Thomas cooked them on the BBQ and we all enjoyed them at breaktime!
This afternoon, Opal class have been designing vegetable kebabs. We are going to make them and BBQ them tomorrow! We have been thinking about the different colours and shapes we can use
Opal had a fantastic trip walking out down the Cowley Road and to South Park. We read the road signs and identified human (made by people) and physical (natural) features around us!
This afternoon Opal class had a go at logging in to J2e and saving a word file. We are going to find it next lesson and start typing on it!
Topaz class played hockey this afternoon !
KS1 have a had a great week researching plants, animals and people that live in the Sahara desert. We have used laptops, videos and fact sheets to help us gather as much information as possible and then written it up in our English books ready to make a leaflet next week!
Opal Class had an interesting lesson learning about animals in the Sahara Desert. They looked at Jerboas, Camels and Fennec Foxes and how they have adapted to live in the desert – usually by being nocturnal!
