This week in Yera 2, Acer Class have been learning about the spread of bacteria and germs. We used our artistic skills to demonstrate how easy it is to spread germs by blowing paint through straws.

Investigating soil in Year 3

We learnt about the different layers of soil such as organic matter, top soil and bedrock, as well as hot wet or dry soil can be.
Nursery: A hug a day, keeps the blues at bay!
For our Talk For Writing sessions, we have been using the book, Hug. We read the book earlier on in the week, then focused on the physical act of hugging, who we hug and how they make us feel. We finished off by hugging one another to make everyone feel happy!
"Hugs make me happy"
"I hug my friend."
"I hug to say hello."
"Hug!"
"Hugs make me feel warm."
Wonderful Writers in Reception!
Apple Class in Reception have been AMAZING at retelling our story, We're Going on a Bear Hunt and were keen to write some of the key words used throughout.
We practised how to hold our pens and followed the dots to help us with our letter formation.
What parts of the story do you think the children were writing about?
Super Sticky Shapes in Apple Class (Reception)
What 2D shapes do you know?
This week Reception have been learning about simple 2D shapes -
circle, triangle, square and rectangle.
We have been talking about what they look like and how many sides and corners they have.
Apple Tree were set a challenge to create different shapes using lolly sticks. What shapes did they make?
We then explored using the sticks to make our own shapes.
Our Junior Leadership Team
Our school Junior Leadership Team class reps have now been democratically elected by our classmates.
As JLT, we represent our classmates, sharing their feedback, suggestions and ideas on our school curriculum, community and and day-to-day organisation in half-termly meetings with Mrs Seaton and Miss Brownless.
If you have ideas to share about the playground, your learning, the school environment, our school meals..... anything you can think of related to our school community, let us know and we will be your voice. We look forward to helping making Bannockburn even more amazing than it is already!
