An exciting find!

26th April 2023A Welburn

In Crew Welburn this week, Aubree found a tiny key! We have been talking about what they key might be used for. We have come to the conclusion that it is for a tiny fairy door that we have found in our blossom tree! We listened very carefully to the tree yesterday and we could hear music coming from behind the door! Aubree wrote a letter to the fairies last night, and to our surprise, the fairy wrote back to her! We’ve given the fairy gifts of bagels and flowers today and lots of us have written her letters today.

I wonder what we will find at school tomorrow…

Super soil sections!

As part of our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, we looked at the different layers of soil. We made our own soil showing the organic matter, topsoil, subsoil and bedrock using different biscuits.

Writing in MI

26th April 2023Stacey McClare

MI have now written their first 2 plot points of their 3rd person suspense narrative. Their setting descriptions included some great figurative language and their second plot point introduced an unknown threat that started to approach their main character. We can’t wait to write our next plot point!

Flower art 🌸

25th April 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have some beautiful blossom trees in our outdoor area in EYFS and we have noticed that some of the flowers had started to fall off and onto the playground. During our last expedition, we used small wooden hammers to create flower art so we decided to get them out and use the blossom to make beautiful pictures.

We added glue to our paper before choosing our flowers and using the hammers to flatten them onto our paper, making sure they were well stuck down. The final pieces looked really pretty!

Whilst we were doing this activity, we spotted a huge bee taking a break on the flowers we planted last half term. We looked carefully at how it was moving, making sure that we didn’t get too close and frighten him. We noticed that it was wiggling it’s body, trying to get lots of pollen stuck to it. We left some sugary water nearby in case it needed more energy to continue finding pollen. 🐝
