Thinking like scientists

asking                                                           

Who ? What? Where? When? How?and Why? things happen

Acting like scientists 

Observing using our 5 senses

sight, touch, taste, hearing, smelling

Talking like scientists 

We are learning words that are special to our topic 

Journeys / Change

Today we put together butterfly finger puppets, this helped to remind is about the life cycle of the butterfly and the parts of a butterflies body.

Tennis Coaching

Every Tuesday afternoon we attend tennis coaching, we are learning to balance the ball on the racket and bounce and catch the ball with one hand, We are getting better at listening to the coach and following instructions.

Our five Senses

When thinking like scientists we need to use our five senses today we were deciding what was soft and prickly when touched. 

Prickly

Soft

A butterfly at last

We have waited for 14 days to meet our butterfly and he chose to emerge at the weekend , after looking high and low to no avail Adwoa later found the butterfly in the library book box, his legs were rather fragile but his wings were beautiful and working well. after taking a good look and some photos we decided to release him, we put him on the swan plant but he was away over the top of the school building, the three caterpillars we put out in the garden on Friday have fared well and are enormous we look forward to them going into their cocoons. Our butterfly helped us learn two words today symmetry and metamorphosis. Butterflies change from being a caterpillar to a butterfly, and they  have exactly the same patterns on both wings.
