Today, Crew Ramsay enjoyed hunting for bugs in our woodland area as part of our animals unit. We were very respectful and left no trace! We saw many mini habitats and even spotted birds’ nests with eggs which had hatched.

In Maths, we explored 3D shapes and learned about their properties. We looked at faces, vertices and edges and practised counting them on different shapes.
By the end of the lesson, we were more confident identifying and describing 3D shapes using mathematical vocabulary.

Crew Farrow have been creating their own self portraits today on the iPads. We used mirrors to ensure our self portraits were as accurate as possible.
Well done to everyone for creating their own picture using the iPads. We selected different sizes, shapes and colours to make our own house.
Crew Farrow have been grouping animals according to what they eat; carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. We have been looking at how different animals have different teeth, and how that gives us a clue as to what they eat.
