Nursery - PSHE - Likes And Dislikes, Trying Chinese Food
To finish our week after celebrating Chinese new year, we tasted some chinese food. The children tasted 4 different foods typically found within chinese cuisine. Everybody was willing to give these new food items a little taste, on the menu today was, egg fried rice, noodles, prawn crackers and spring rolls. Some children expressed their opinions with thumbs up or thumbs down, others used sound effects such as 'mmm' or 'yukk' and some children vocalised 'yummy' and even asked for 'more please'. The children really enjoyed snack time today!

Nursery - Literacy - Mark Making
During our Chinese new year celebrations, the children made their own red envelopes and gifted them to a friend in class. The children used various different pencil grips to hold their crayons and scribed on their paper to create marks. Some children were even able to give meanings to their marks and tell their friends what they had drawn. The children then placed their good luck pictures inside red envelopes, along with a chocolate golden coin to represent the money usually gifted in these Chinese traditions. The class enjoyed exchanging their envelopes with each other and talking about the pictures they had drawn.
Year 5 Science: Water Resistance
In Science, Year 5 have been learning about water resistance, connecting this force to air resistance. We created shapes from plasticine and tried to make some more aerodynamic than others. We then timed how long it took for these shapes to drop into the water, understanding that the least surface area, more streamlined shapes dropped faster as there was less water resistance.
