Basic Facts!

We have been thinking how fast we can recall our doubles. 

Can you use your doubles to find the answers to other basic facts questions?

Brilliant Ice Cream Break Through

Can you remember the equipment we used?

What were the ingredients?

Can you remember the ingredients changed states from a liquid into a solid.

What flavour would you create next time?

reading provocation -'Max Saves a Frog' and how can we be friendly to frogs.

We have to keep the frogs safe, because they are very special animal. No other animals can be like a frog and they are the most beautiful animal and they are funny frogs. Divesh

We are making a picture for where the frogs need to live. If we don't do this then the frogs won't be able to live here in our school. Emma

We read a book and we want the frogs to be safe with us. We need water shade and soil. We are doing a picture plan and design to help keep the frogs safe at Stonefields school. Alvyn 

We need to try and save our frogs. Frogs are special because they can eat flies and mosquitoes, bugs and they  live under the ground. We are trying to make our ideas to be a pond for frogs in the school. Harrison

We are learning, how to take care of frogs, because we need to put them in a pond. They need water to lay their eggs in. They are special animals because they eat bugs. Eden

Time to talk with Ginger

We have been learning how to be good listeners with Ginger this week.
Good listeners:
Look with their eyes
Listen with their ears
Keep Still
And are quiet when it is someone else's turn to talk.
 

Break Through 28th February Animal and Art Groups

We looked and found out how to use pastels to create patterns.

Experimented with different designs.

We went to the library to research patterns.

We drew inspiration from animal patterns and used them to create our own.

Sharing our Stories with Clicker Docs

Today some of us have been learning how to record our stories using Clicker Docs on the iPad.  This app has a predictive spelling tool that will make suggestions based on the letters the learners type in.  It even reads their sentences back to them when they're finished with each one.

Here's Harrison showing us how to use it and reflecting on the app:

Concept - Philosophy for Children using The Very Hungry Caterpillar

What is change ?

A little egg lay on a leaf ....

A tiny hungry caterpillar looked for food....

He changed and grew big and built a cacoon.

After a few weeks he was a beautiful butterfly.

Keeping our 'Children' Safe!

Today we started a new concept writing focus.

Some of our learners decorated biscuits to turn them into our children... we then made carry bags and containers for them to go home in.  Over the next few days we're going to be taking our children with us and doing our best to keep them safe.  I wonder what they might get up to!

Feel free to decorate them at home and take photos of what they do after and before school - be sure to keep them safe.

Is it ok to leave your child at home by themselves?

Is it ok to leave them out in the yucky weather?
