What's the plan Stan?

This term we have been learning how to keep safe in natural disasters. The children had a strong interest in natural disasters and enjoyed researching on google images together, looking for pictures and finding information. This morning we have finished off with talking about wind storms. After reading about different wind storms some chose to go off and share a tornado book together. They then created their own 'tornado suckers' out of mobilio. Very creative.

Half and quarter.

Mrs Hislop come and worked with us on Wednesday. We had a wonderful time in maths learning all about half and quarter. We chopped up the fruit and shared it with our friends. We were very safe using the knives and now know how to cut food into half and quarter. Thanks Mrs Hislop for a fun time!
