Planting our first seeds!

During the summer term, the children began by planting their first batch of plants, learning specifically about what happens when we plant broad beans and how to care for them as they grow. They listened carefully to instructions and worked thoughtfully throughout the activity. The session also linked to maths, as the children counted how many plant pots they used and measured out scoops of compost for each one. After planting, they watered the pots, counting how many squirts each plant received. This hands-on experience not only introduced them to basic gardening skills but also supported their understanding of counting and following instructions. We look forward to planting more, including edible plants, as the term continues.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This term, the children will be learning about Growth and Change. Starting out with the classic story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Together, we made our hungry caterpillars; they enjoyed making them move and pretending they are eating, getting longer and longer. This has got them hooked into our new subject of the summer term. We have some exciting, hands-on learning ahead!

Endangered and extinct

Crew Farrow have been learning about endangered and extinct animals in expedition. Their challenge was to sort different animals into endangered and non endangered categories. Can you name one endangered animal? 🐼🦁🦔

Easter buns.

If you’re stuck with lots of Easter eggs, do what we did and melt them to make yummy Rice Krispie buns.

We broke the chocolate into small pieces, melted it in the microwave, and added as many Rice Krispies as we could fit in the bowl.

We shared the mixture out evenly and added our special mini eggs on top!

Took them home to share with family. YUMMY 🙂

Hook Week – Day 1 🪝

Welcome back Crew Farrow! We had a lovely first day back, immersing ourselves into the new summer expedition. KS1 went on an animal hunt, to see what wildlife thy could spot in the woods, and then we learnt about endangered and extinct animals. 🐿️🦔🍃
