Science and our new room displays.

Science.

In science we are learning about plants. Children had a selection of flowers are were challenged with naming the parts of a flower. There were clues such as names of parts- stigma, sepal, stamen etc, books and photos. Using magnifying lenses children carefully examined the parts that made up a flower and were able to name most of the parts correctly. The next step was to relate the parts to their functions- again successfully achieved as a class.

Our New Room and some displays

We are all very happy to be settled back into our classroom and have already got several displays up.

In book week we were read "The Day The Crayons Quit"- a book about the crayons getting fed up with their jobs. Red crayon was over-worked colouring fire engines,hearts etc- he even had to work holidays colouring Santa! Yellow and Orange crayon argued over who should colour the sun, Green crayon too felt overworked with grass and dragons, but poor beige crayon felt rather left out and was lucky if they had  colour turkey at Christmas dinner! Class 3 took on the role of a crayon of their choice and wrote complaining about their jobs. We also wrote back with counter arguments pointing out to the crayons how lucky they were to be chosen to colour certain things at certain times. A super display was the outcome.

Even the drape has crayons on it. Worth a close up read if you are in class 3- please come and read some of our work.
