Yesterday Opal class waited with baited breath as it was time to reveal our tye die t-shirts.
The results were amazing and the class were so proud of their hard work and i was too.

Last week was Road Safety week which was a great opportunity for us to talk about road safety and raise funds to help the Brake campaign for safer roads and support for families affected by road crashes.
We started road safety week with Mr Delaney sharing his favorite road safety videos and adverts from when he was a child. An example is shown below
The children were then set a challenge to create a script or voice over for a TV road safety campaign of their own which would run during road safety week. The themes were
The children went above and beyond with their hard work and created some TV worth masterpieces. A few examples are shown below.
Well done everyone! I can see some children finding their way into the advertising world in the near future.

Keeping with the theme of fruit, Our blog task this week is going to be about fruit from around the world! across the globe there is lots of strange fruit that we may not have seen or tasted.

Yesterday at forest school, Opal class were learning about the tropical rainforests.
We looked at where tropical rain forests are located and compared the conditions in our forest school to the conditions in a tropical rain forest.
We can’t wait to see what we are doing next week!
This week we have been looking at time in Opal class.
We have focused on telling the time on digital and analogue clocks and separating our day into AM or PM. Below are some examples
This weeks task
5 team points are on offer for everyone who writes a timetable of their day showing times to 5 minutes and separating their day into AM and PM.
On Thursday opal class enjoyed the lovely sunny weather down at forest school.
The children enjoyed lots of exploration time as well as some fun games and activities put together by Mrs Ashley
During gardening week Opal class planted some bird seed to see what grew. So far we have lots of shoots and we are looking forward to watching them continue to grow.
It seems the sunflower seeds we planted are slightly temperamental and some growing brilliantly while others not growing at all.
If your sunflower is not growing at home you may bring your diaries back in to school and we will use our demonstration sunflowers to fill them in as part of our early work.
As part of our learning during gardening week, we decided to investigate what was in bird seed.
Each group was given a hand full of bird seed to investigate and create a tally of the ingredients found in their bird seed
Once our tallys were finished we planted some of the seeds we found to see what (if anything) would grow.
This week in Science we have been looking at pollination and the different ways that pollination can happen. We looked at pollination through the air, through water and by a range of different animals.
We then took on the role of honey bees and used cotton buds to find pollen samples and transfer them from flower to flower. We also took rubbings from a range of plants to see what the pollen looked like. Unfortunately, the rain came before we could really get stuck in.
Secret task – 5 team points are on offer for everyone who has the part of the plant that produces pollen written in their diary!
