Cherry
Play Scripts - The children worked in pairs to write their own scene for a play. They made props, rehearsed and performed their scene to the class. We thoroughly enjoyed watching them!
Music - The children rehearsed and performed a section from the song 'Keep In Time'. They had to sing and read music notation to play their instrument to the correct rhythm.
After learning about bioluminescent animals, Cherry class had some fun creating bioluminescent jelly fish using chalks.
Our wonderful piano players were superb today! Well done everyone.
Dressing green for Eco-week!
Eco week - Tree People
After learning about the ways in which trees are important to our world and the impact of deforestation, we discussed what we could do to help reduce the amount of trees that are cut down. The children came up with the following: Use less paper/don't waste paper, plant a tree in your garden, recycle paper products, reduce the amount of meat we eat and cut down on products that use palm oil. To celebrate trees we gave them personalities by creating tree people using clay and the nature we found around us.

Ancient Egypt Day
The children had a great day and looked fantastic!
We made papyrus paper, played the ancient board game, senet, made clay scarab beetle amulets, made our own paint to paint King Tut's death mask, designed a new God of Learning, made shadufs out of Lego and finished off the day with some ancient Egyptian themed music.
