We had a great trip to Amazonia today. We saw so many cool animals which would be found in the rainforest - our highlight was getting to see the bats! There were loads hanging upside down as well as others flying about and feeding. The most special thing was getting to see a baby bat which was only born a week ago.

We went to the handling room and got to hold a tortoise, snake and millipede. We were all very brave and the people who didn't want to hold the animals at least managed to touch some of them!

We played a few games in their interactive room, visited the shop and then went for our lunch at the cafe.

A brilliant day out!

We had a fantastic trip to the science centre today. We had time up in the Mall and then went to our senses workshop where we did various activities and met Granny Goggins! We also had time to go to the shop and everyone bought a little toy!

Remember we are off the science centre tomorrow. Please wear trip uniform and bring a packed lunch. You can also bring money for the shop if you wish.

Monday is our trip to Amazonia so please do the same then.

Thanks

This afternoon we were looking at 2 photos which John, the bat man, sent us. He took the bat boxes we made and nailed them up on a tree near the visitor centre.

We were so excited to see our boxes!

We had an excellent show and tell this morning. A lot of interesting things were brought in and everyone talked so well about their thing. We practiced questioning skills as well!

Yesterday we had our first go at story writing. We picked from different parts of the story mat and copied it into our jotters. We then drew a picture and coloured in a sheet to stick beside it. Our stories were about Spring!

Today we were working on our number bonds display, making a flower and petals showing the ways to make 14.

Today we used magnabet on our iPads to spell words with the long a sound, made by ai and ay, in them. We had lots of good ideas and worked hard to spell them.

After a busy morning at PE we wrote about our holiday news. We are all working on the size of our letters and the overall presentation of our work.
