Hazel Habitats
This week Hazel class have worked hard learning about different habitats.
First they were given four images of different habitats and asked to name them before moving on to sorting animals into the habitats.
Pupils also worked on their cutting skills.
This was a good activity to understand what pupils already know and how their knowledge can then be built upon.
You never know when we go for a walk in the woods we might just come across a camel hiding there instead of the Gruffalo!
We then went on to focus on one habitat and pupils chose the ocean.
Pupils watched a documentary on the ocean and plants and animals that live their.
Finally Hazel class looked at different water animals before sharing a story.
Well done Hazel class for working super hard!

Super Spring Start in Hazel
Hazel class introduced their new topic today
‘Changes in the World’
As a class we discussed different habitats around the world before focusing on our local area.
We spent the afternoon in the outdoor learning area searching for different habitats and creatures.
We labelled where we thought we might find the different animals.
We managed to find some worms!
Our New Topic in Maple Class
This topic is called ‘Amazing Animals.’
We will be learning about lots of different animals and their habitats. This week there has been a very cold wintry theme within our classroom. Here are some pictures of all of the wonderful things that your children have been up too in Maple class.
We have been creating stories with all of our new furry friends in class.
We have got an igloo in class where we can read lots of our winter stories.
Look at our amazing blue sand where our penguin friends live,
We have had lots of snowy days in Maple and all of the children have loved being out in the snow!
We have been catching snow flakes in our mouths, creating snow balls and feeling and looking at ice, This was super fun to do even though it was FREEEZING.
We look like eskimos!
Drama lesson in Birch!
Today we watched part of The Lighthouse and then we got split into groups to recreate the scene we saw. We then had to predict what was going to happen in the rest of the story. We had to work together to come up with a concept and than act it out, rehearse it then perform it in front of the class. We had some amazing stories!
Fog on the Tyne
Today Birch started their new Topic; Fog on the Tyne! We have been talking about the Tyne Bridge, St. James’ Park, Angel of the North etc. We had lots of fun finding all this information out about our local City.
We spoke in groups about the images and identified any of them that we already know. We had discussions of all the facts we already knew about the images and Newcastle.
We look forward to finding out more!
