Bradford Music and Arts Concert
RS loved learning about different instruments and which instrument family they belong to. They enjoyed joining in with songs being part of an audience.
Maths
The children have been exploring mass by using weighing scales. The children predicted which items were heavier and which were lighter before using the scales to see if they were right. The children also had a go at trying to get the scales to balance using various objects form around the classroom.
Dinosaur Workshop
The children became palaeontologist and used brushes to carefully find different fossils and dinosaur bones. The children used the fact files to try and identify what they had found. At the end of the workshop the children got to meet a baby triceratops called Arora.
Kindness Week
To celebrate kindness week the children have been sharing lots of stories about being kind. We practiced different ways to welcome people including smiling at someone, waving and shaking hands. They had a go at practicing this with a partner.
The children then spent an afternoon decorating biscuits which they then shared with the children in Year 1. The children in Year 1 recited a poem all about what kindness is on our visit.
Pantomime
What an exiting morning learning the story of Cinderella through panto.
