A Curious Clay Play!!

Last week we had the pleasure of playing with some clay ready for when we make our woodland animals. 

Homework

Your child had a homework task sent home last night. Thanks for the great pieces of homework from last week.

This week's task is to practise sketching their chosen animal in detail. Mrs field will be doing this in class on Monday also in preparation for making their clay models. I like to display any independent homework in class, so enjoy experimenting! 

Here's a link to help:

As well as some pictures:

I hope that you have all received the homework which was to find out facts about their chosen animal. Read, understand and write facts in their own words.

Outdoor learning at Garwnant

A fantastic day was had by all. Thank you to Aled who taught us about animals in the woodland. We made habitats for the animals. We followed a map and clues to find some animal sculptures then we made an incredible discovery. We found an abandoned  rucksack full of clues. We typed in the web address and found Steve Backshall setting us our LNF project task.

Our first part of the task is to consider which animal we would like to find out about. How exciting! 

Thank you to all of the parent helpers who gave up their time to help out today!
