Rocket seeds 29.04.16

This week we had a very exciting delivery. We got two packets of Rocket seeds one from Earth and another that had been to Space with Tim Peak. We don't know which seeds are which so we are growing them to find out. We think that the space seeds won't grow as much as the other seeds because they had no gravity when they were in space.
We will keep you updated as to what happens as the seeds grow!


In English this week we have been learning about Traditional Tales. These are stories that have been told for hundreds of years for example; The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff,  Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. We read two different versions of the Jack and the Beanstalk and an alternative version called Jim and the Beanstalk. We compared the characters and events and recorded these in a table.


In Maths we have been ordering numbers. We practised putting numbers into order from smallest to biggest and thought about where these would go on a number line. 


In Gymnastics we have been learning how to jump. Last term we learnt how to do a star jump and today we learnt how to do a tuck, a pike and a straddle jump. We need to remember to push our legs out in front of us and land with our knees bend.


In Dance we have started to learn our May day dance. We  walked through the first few steps and practised these with the music.


This weeks Learning Owl is Alice. She has been chosen for using her independence skills and persevering with a problem.Well done Alice, we hope you have a lovely weekend with Plop!


This weeks Home Learning Challenge is to design a poster for the Redbourn in Bloom Horticultural Society poster competition. The theme is gardens so it needs to be colourful and eye catching but should not feature any text. It needs to be A4 and please write your name and class on the back.
