Superworm is super long, Superworm is super strong! 🪱
This week, we collected all of our odd socks and stuffed them with recycling paper to make our very own Superworms! We talked about how some of them were long, and some of them were short. We even managed to put them in size order! 🐝🦋

Using sticks, Adders worked together to build polygons with different numbers of sides. They experimented with pentagons, hexagons and even more complex shapes, discussing what makes each shape unique. It was a fun activity that helped them understand sides, vertices, and the properties of polygons!

Year 3 took part in their class langar today as part of our RE learning. The children tried a simple mashed chickpea daal and chapati, served the food themselves and even washed up afterwards! Such a lovely way to learn about community, equality and sharing. 🌼🥣✨

It might have been cold and icy tonight but we had a great time in forest school. The children opened a cafe which sold McDonald’s food, they made snowmen, dug a hole for the old Christmas tree, jumped in muddy puddles, they spotted ice shaped countries and just had fun playing.

Lynxes have been learning yoga skills in PE. We have been trying out stretches and balances, as well as focusing on our breathing techniques. We have discussed how we can use these techniques to help us be calm and focused and ready to learn.
