<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In April we planted sunflower seeds in class. We then all took them home to see who could look after their sunflower and help it to grow tall. Well I am so glad to say that the FS2 children are much better gardeners than Mrs Cameron and Miss Kitchen. We didn't do so well! We forgot to water the sunflower seeds we planted. Although they grew at first, because they were so thirsty and didn't get watered, they died!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a look at the photo's below of the children's sunflowers. Can you see who has won the competition of growing the tallest sunflower?</span><br />

It was a fantastic day! Miss Kitchen and Mrs Cameron were so proud of us; how we used the museum galleries, how we behaved in the museum, the example we set as children of Fieldhead Carr and how sensible we were at lunch time and during the coach journey. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mrs Frisby, Miss Clarke, Mrs Sinker, Mrs Holmes, Mr Harrison and Mrs Garth (Mrs Cameron's mum) all came with us too. They also had a brilliant day and had so much fun with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We learned what a symmetrical pattern looked like in real-life, by looking at a butterfly's wings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We then created our own symmetry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made;</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">symmetrical minibeasts in the dough, and in the maths area using counters.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">symmetrical patterns on a large scale outside using large plastic bricks.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">symmetrical patterns using duplo in the construction area.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and we used shapes to make a butterfly symmetrical on both of its wings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a look at our work</span><br />

We completed an obstacle course. Whilst we were tackling each obstacle we were thinking and talking about how we were completing it, using lots of positional language. </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had to walk along the benches, jumping down at the end. We had to throw a beanbag into a bucket and then walk whilst balancing on stilts. We then had to move the ball using only our feet to make it go in-between and around the cones. We jumped over a bamboo cane, moved our body through the hula-hoop, went in and out of the posts before we finished the course - moving across the tyres.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We thoroughly enjoyed testing our physical skills and our mathematical positional language. Throughout the week we all became much more confident and skilled at tackling the obstacles.</span></b><br />

We had to run around an area of the school field as many times as we could. Mrs Cameron made us a card to get stamped every time we ran a lap. She put us 9 spaces on the card to get stamped but some of us ran so many laps we had to go onto the back of the card to collect extra stamps!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were brilliant and even kept running despite the rain. So many grown-ups came to watch us too. Mrs Cameron, Mrs Frisby and Miss Clarke were very proud of our efforts as were our grown-ups that watched us. The year 6 children who came to support us and help us run enjoyed the fun run too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Miss Morris came to collect us and took us into the school garden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She read us a story 'Mad about Minibeasts'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a great time and loved our treat. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We looked at some of the paintings of the artist Henri Rousseau. He painted a lot of pictures based on the jungle and jungle animals. We really enjoyed looking at his work and saying what we liked and didn't like about his work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jake C and Joshua loved this painting of 'Apes in the Orange Grove'</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cieran said that Rousseau should have had more animals in his paintings to give them more character!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We then began to create our own work of art based using Rousseau's work as inspiration. We are creating one giant painting and we are all working on it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have also revised the 'sh' sound - in 'shop' or 'fish'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The children really enjoyed these Mr Thorne phonics video's. We even found out the sounds were in words that we had not realised they were in, such as 'kangaroo' and 'penguin'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The video's are linked here, to enjoy again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've also put on links to 'Geraldine the giraffe's' videos on the sounds because FS2 found these very funny.</span><br />

We then checked we liked the photograph we had taken by looking at the viewing screen again.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>We have had 100% attendance this week! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Miss Kitchen and Mrs Cameron are so pleased with us, for trying hard to come to school everyday.

Instead of setting homework for discussion at home on a specific topic, Mrs Cameron is using an interactive game on the interactive white board to generate discussion. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The children are given a starting sentence and then work in pairs to improve it to a superb sentence. This may involve adding WOW words (adjectives) or connectives to extend the sentence. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The children did this last Friday and really enjoyed it whilst being very engaged. We will continue this for the next few weeks, so don't be surprised if they are not coming home with 'Big Talk' homework. We will still be working hard on Big Talk in class on a Friday. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ANY discussion you have with your child about any subject will support them with class discussions and help develop their speaking and listening skills. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for your support</span><br />

He cut out his favourite pictures very carefully, taking care not to cut into the picture. He then extended his learning by taking them to the DT area and making them into puppets. His idea was so good, lots of other children chose to do it too!</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Our construction area has had a basket of fabric added to it this week.
