We love giraffes! Ask us why!

We wrote a poem about the reasons we like giraffes, using the word because.  We know that Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants as well :)

Carnival

Our final topic for the year is Carnival! We will be looking at carnivals and festivals from around the world. To begin with, we have been studying the classical music piece, 'Carnival of the animals' by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. We can identify the different animals just by listening to the music and we have also learned all about the different musical instruments in an orchestra.

We have also been drawing the animals in their habitats and writing poems about them.

 

Dens & Dandelions - The final instalment!

We have really enjoyed our Dens & Dandelions topic. Here is the final video of what we have been doing. We made sculptures and shelters with Mr Arthur in the woods. Finally, we had a party in the woods to finish the topic. Some of us saw fairies, goblins and even Princess Dandelion herself. Have a look and see if you can spot them too :)

Captain Buttons says thanks!

We got another video message from Captain Buttons, this time saying thanks for all our help. He said that he had sent us all a present, but we had to go on a treasure hunt to find it! We had clues to help us. As a group, we tried to work out the clues and then we set off to find the treasure!
