Happy Mothers Day!

All through school the children have been preparing for Mothering Sunday, this weekend! There has been lots of creative card making and it is lovely to see the children so enthusiatic about making something special for their Mums.

In Riverbank we have been creative too, with flowers and sunshines galore!

                                         Take a look!

 


 
May we wish you all a
Very Happy Mothers Day!

Science Week!

This week has been National Science and Engineering week and the children in Riverbank have been busy getting involved....

Rabbits have been looking at the life cycle of a frog and have their very own Frog Spawn to make observations of how it changes and develops. They have already seen that the 'black dots' are beginning to grow tails and are getting ready to become tadpoles. Do you know what will happen next Rabbits?






In Dragonflies the children have joined with main school to carry out an investigation. They have met with a surprising character who has a surprising problem for the children to investigate. Can you explain what you did Dragonflies?




The Otters have been investigating as well this week. They have considered what will make a great recipe for a chocolate cake. The children have chosen the ingredients and the method used and the resulting cake looks great! Hope it tastes as good!

Trips Galore!

The Otters and the Dragonflies have been busy on trips last week and have really enjoyed the experiences they had whilst there and the follow up activities back in school.

The Otters spent the day at Cadbury World finding out about the history of chocolate and even getting to sample some!









For the Dragononflies it was a trip to Twycross Zoo to see for real the needs of animals that they have been learning about in their topic. And back in class the animals have been an inspiration for poetry writing this week.


It will be the Rabbits turn next with a trip to the farm. But in the meantime they have been continuing to learn about food and have been describing the taste and texture of various types.

 
Come back next week to find out more about our fabulous learning!
