L, L& C - Writing Instructions

Last week we made star cookies. We had to read and follow instructions.

Then we wrote our own instructions for 'How to Make Star Cookies'. We used verbs and adverbs in our instructions.

'1. Wash your hands thoroughly.'

We had to peg the correct verb and instruction on a rocket.

We used the Solar System mat to play games.

We had to solve problems in the reading corner.

We programmed Bee Bot to the correct verb on the mat.

We used the microphone to tell each other instructions using verbs and adverbs.

We had fun in the space shuttle too! We had to speak to our co-pilot using verbs and adverbs. We recorded our observations of Space in a log book.

L, L & C - Following Instructions

We followed instructions for how to make sandwiches.

We looked for the verb and the adverb in each instruction.

We made the sandwiches in preparation for our 'Moon Picnic'.

Moon Picnic

We have been revising our understanding of instructions. We had to read and follow instructions to make cookies and sandwiches for our 'Moon Picnic'. It was fantastic on the moon and we all enjoyed our delicious picnic!

Rocket Launch!

We used our Solar System knowledge to put the planets in the correct order.

Then we launched a rocket into space and watched to see which planet it landed on. We recorded the results and looked to see who's rocket had reached the furthest planet from the sun. Two children managed to reach Neptune!

Knowledge and Understanding of the World- The Solar System

We have been finding out about 'The Solar System'. We went outside and created the Solar System in groups. We remembered that we had to spin as we orbited the sun.

We plotted the planets on a map when we got back to class. Some children also created their own drawings in the area.

Creative Development - Vincent Van Gogh

We have been looking at Vincent Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. We used the painting as inspiration to create our own 'starry night'. We had to think carefully about the choice of colours and brushes that we needed to use.

Creative Development.

We enjoy being creative in the area.

We have been enjoying ourselves vegetable printing.

We created our own alien and then thought of as many adjectives as possible to describe him.
