Senses walk

We went down to the maze to do a senses walk. We found lots of lovely things including a bird's nest. We will use what we have found to write senses poems next week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senses walk

We are learning about our senses this week and as introduction we split into 2 groups and went on a senses walk around the school with the ladybirds. We wrote as many different things as we could in each section and we are going to use what we heard, saw, felt and smelt to do some descriptive writing later in the week.

 

 

Wild flower planting

We were very fortunate to get to do some wild flower planting on Friday as a continuation of our fundraising for bumblebees in term 1.

Lindsey Taylor and Eileen Summers told us about some of the flowers that 

have nectar in them and are good for bees.

Some of the flowers we planted were primroses, red campion, kidney vetch, self heal and red clover.

We then played a game where there were bumblebees who had to collect nectar from flowers. The children who were flowers had a ball to represent nectar. The first time we played, the flowers were spread out and the bees used up lots of energy collecting the nectar.

The second time we played, the flowers were much closer together so the bees were able to collect the nectar much more quickly without getting too tired.

Lindsey explained that we needed to push the flowers up out of the pots and place them into the little holes in the area that Conrad kindly weeded for us.

 
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

As in the game, we planted the flowers close together so that bees who take the nectar won't have to use so much energy moving from flower to flower.

Tag rugby

We had our last rugby session this week. After the warm up we played tag bulldogs and stadium ball. At the end, the children played a proper game of tag rugby, working in teams to try and score a try against the opposition.

Nice enough weather to be 'beans on toast'
in the warm up.
