An egg-citing science experiment in Diamond class!

After writing about Humpty Dumpty during our English lessons, we decided to carry out an experiment today. We dropped eggs to see if they would crack! We put the eggs into zip wallets along with different materials/objects. We predicted which would protect the egg best before dropping them and recording our results. The cotton wall balls were the best and our egg did not have a mark on it!

Bug hunt

Diamond class have shown an interest in bugs they have found in the playground this week. So, we decided to goon a whole class bug hunt today! We found lots of wriggly worms and looked at them carefully before putting them back where they were found. We spoke about the importance of handling creatures with care.

Diamond Class love being outdoors!

Reception have been enjoying the glorious autumnal afternoons using our scooters and bikes on the playground.

Room on the Broom

Gruffalo role play

Diamond class read The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson then acted out the story. “He has knobbly knees, and turned out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose!”

Pumpkin Patch

Diamond class have had great fun buying and selling pumpkins in our very own pumpkin patch. We were using our maths skills to think about which pumpkins were heavier after weighing them on the scales.

Scarecrow fun!

Diamond class made our own scarecrows this week after reading The Scarecrows’ Wedding by Julia Donaldson.

Our Classroom

As promised, here are some photographs of our lovely classroom. We also have our family pictures up in our home corner; the children really enjoy showing their family picture to their friends.
