Lots of visitors!

Another busy week for the Riverbank children!

The Rabbits had a special visitor, Dixie the dog came to see the Rabbits and even took them on a walk.  In Numeracy the children used the Beebots to learn about position and direction.












The Dragonflies also had a visitor but he was not as fluffy as Dixie!  Sid the skeleton came to see the children.  The children could to see what bones look like and how they are arranged in our bodies.  The Dragonflies have been learning why our skeletons are important and imagining what we would look like without one!
















The Otters have made great progress with their "Magical Materials" topic by looking at the properties of wood, paper, rubber, plastic, to name just a few!

Fluffy, flat and farmer friends!

The Rabbits have been very lucky this week!  Their new topic is “Pets,” Mrs Worral brought in her Guinea pigs!  The children loved it and are looking forward to another furry friend coming to visit next week.  As part of their topic the children have started to read “My best friend, Bob” by Georgie Ripper.

   

The Dragonflies have made an enthusiastic start to the new summer term.  Their new topic is “Richard III,” this week they have started looking at bones.  The children were lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine in their PE lesson by joining year 3 and Mrs Kirby on the field to play Rounders.  The children displayed excellent team work skills and enjoyed learning the rules.  In Literacy the Dragonflies are learning about adventure stories and they are reading “Flat Stanley” by Jeff Brown.

The Otters have started their new topic “Marvellous Materials,” in cooking the children made Lassi and in Literacy they have started their author focus on Martin Waddell.  They have been enjoying reading his books and have even found some in our classroom!
