Den building in Porthkerry

 Here we are collecting wood to make our dens. We are very strong!

 We had to make sure our den was well covered.

 We also found logs that we could use for a seating area.

 Each team were very proud of the dens that they made.

 The park ranger tested to see if our dens were waterproof. Some of us got a little wet!!

At last after all our den building we got to roast marshmallows. 

 We all really enjoyed them and got very sticky!!

 Yummy!!!

Here we all are at the end of our trip. We had a great day and we all very well behaved.

Class 2 Find Out Where Their Food Comes From!

A real farmer, Mrs Thomas came to help us learn about food chains and food sources. We found out how wheat grain is milled to become flour, and then we made our own bread! She explained how the wheat is grown and told us lots about farm animals too. 

Mrs Thomas brought us some chicken eggs and an incubator for them too. We’re going to watch them carefully for 21 days and hopefully, they’ll hatch and we’ll have chicks!

Welcome back to the Summer term. Our topic is Dens and Dandelions. In the first week back we have had lots of fun!

In Mathematics we have been learning about Capacity.

We filled different containers to find out which held more water.

 

We have also been looking at woodland animal homes. Here we are creating our own animal homes.

Puppet fun in the reading corner.

 We also went outdoors to make more animal homes.

 Look what we discovered hiding in our classroom!! We don't think the classroom is their real home!!

We are really looking forward to den building in Porthkerry woods on Tuesday and marshmallows around the fire. Watch this space for pictures of our trip.

Bye for now Year 1
