13/5/2021

​Lions class had a great time in outdoor learning this week. They prepared the raised bed for planting bean seeds, created Andy Goldsworthy style natural art and talked about the different parts of a plant. They were particularly interested to learn how dandelions can be pollinated by us by blowing the seeds from a dandelion clock.

Lions class had an enjoyable trip to RHS Rosemoor this week. They first looked at a gallery of artwork composed with natural objects. The children then set off with a colour chart and buckets to collect leaves, sticks, petals and other natural resources from around the garden. They then created their own artwork using what they had collected. The children then had the opportunity to plant some Nasturtium seeds and create a flower decoration. After lunch they enjoyed a walk around the gardens and a play in the play area. ​

The class carried out a Fire Dragon investigation. We made our own bubbling lava lamps. First we mixed water and red food colouring together. Then we added oil, with the oil floating on top of the water. We then dropped in some bubbling Vitamin C tablets and watched what happened. We drew and wrote up what we saw in our science books.

As a whole school we spent the last day of the half term (Thursday 11th February) learning all about Chinese New year. In Lions and Zebras class we learnt the story of how the zodiac years came about and how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We then did some writing about what we had learnt, made a Chinese dragon and practised writing our name in Chinese.

 Lions Class have been practising some Christmas songs today, using instruments to make the twinkly sounds. It was a fantastic time and the children played very enthusiastically! We tried really hard to hear the pulse of the songs and join in on the beat.
