Emerald Class worked really hard to ‘up level’ words in English today. The children discussed how we often use the same boring words over and over again and how it stops the reader from being interested. They then learned how to use a thesaurus to help find alternatives and had great fun looking for all the different options!

Challenge: Can you use a thesaurus to find alternative words for ‘kind’ and ‘happy’?

Emerald Class have impressed me so much with their brilliant Art skills this week. Linked to our ‘Great Fire of London’ topic, the children learnt about tone and used this to make a back drop of London during the great fire. Have a look at some of the children’s fantastic work! 🚒🧯🔥

Emerald Class have all produced an incredible piece of sunflower artwork. The children used oil pastels to create their wonderful masterpieces! 😍🌻

This afternoon the children had a wonderful time creating feeders for the local birds! 🪵🪶🦉

As part of National Gardening Week, the children designed their ideal fruit and vegetable patches. There were such a range of wonderful fruit and vegetables across their designs! Take a look below!

Did you know that there are around 300,000 different types of fruits and vegetables grown across the world! 😲

Well the weather didn’t shine for us today at Forest School! Nevertheless, the children had a fantastic time building shelters, toasting marshmallows and enjoying each others company in the fresh air. 🔥☔️🌳

Unfortunately, today’s sessions marks the end of Forest School for Emerald Class for this year. The children have had a wonderful time over the last few weeks and a huge ‘thank you’ goes to Mrs Ashley for sharing the woodland area and teaching the class so many wonderful skills. The children are already looking forward to their next visit in the future! 🌳⭐️
