As part of our Stem Week Activities we have been learning how to join a range of materials in lots of different ways ( string, tape etc) and have been creating our own traps in the Forest to catch the Gruffalo. We used all of our skills from our Design and Technology sessions to design them . It was so lovely to see so many different and original ideas.

Today we had so much fun at Home Farm at Attingham. We met Farmer Sam and Farmer Ben who taught us all about the animals they take care of. We learnt about the types of food they eat, what the breeds were and all about their farm. 

Last week we were lucky enough to have a music session with Mr Wilcox. He helped us learn about the beat of a song and we enjoyed using claves to tap out the rhythm.

Today we have been recapping our work on Kandinsky. We remembered that his artwork consists of lots of circles. We used the primary colours red, blue and yellow and talked about the secondary colours purple, green and orange that were created when we mixed the primary colours together. 

We then created our own Kandinsky inspired Snail to represent the Snail from the Snail and the Whale.

We had lots of fun in PE .

Reception have had lots of fun making their own rockets. We have been practised using tools to join them together and have choice over the colours we use. Blast off!
