Science

For the past two weeks, the children have been learning all about food chains. Last week, they learnt that all food chains start with a producer and that anything that eats something else is a called a consumer. Today, the children recapped what they had learnt and started to find out about different food chains by conducting their own research and labelled the producer, consumers, prey and predators. The children really enjoyed finding out new food chains and sharing them with the rest of the class. 

Computing

This half term, we are learning how to use a new application called ScratchJr. Today, the children explored what they could do in ScratchJr but predicting, testing and reviewing. The children are very excited to learn how to make their own programs. 

Music

This half term, we are learning all about call and response. This week, the children used the sound patterns they had already learnt to create their own call and response. 

Science

This half term the children are enjoying learning all about habitats. We have spent a lot of time exploring and observing our local habitats. This week we started to learn about different habitats around the world. The children used the internet, books and information sheets to find out as much as the could about their chosen habitat. The children made notes and are looking forward to sharing their research with their friends next week.
