This term we have started our unit ‘Does farming matter?’. In history we have used photographs to learn about how farmers farmed in the past. We have explored the changes that have happened from past to present. We enjoyed a visit from Remy’s chickens! We got to stroke them and saw their wings be clipped.

In art we have created our own tractor artwork. We mixed our own paint to create the fields, then used our collage skills to make our tractor.

In science, we have been learning about plants. We can name a variety of plants and can sort them into two groups: wild plants and garden plants. We have looked closely at the flowers and produced detailed observational drawings. We also tried to answer the question ‘Are all tree trunks the same?’. We worked as part of a group to measure three different tree trunks and compared them.

Our focus stories this term have been ‘Jack and the beanstalk’, ‘Jim and the beanstalk’ and ‘The enormous turnip’. We have produced some fabulous writing with capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Our handwriting has also been amazing!

We have had a busy term in maths and have learnt about arrays, equal groups, sharing and money. We have completed many practical activities and have loved sorting coins and notes

Finally, we always enjoy choosing time on a Friday afternoon. Here you can see us playing in our farm shop role play area and using the forest school resources to make dens.
