Visiting St Luke’s Church

As part of our learning about special buildings we visited St Lukes Church, Hodnet. We walked down “Magnolia walk” in Hodnet Hall gardens and saw lots of signs of spring. When we were in the church we searched for elements of the building that show that it is a special building.

Healthy Teeth

We had a visit from the school nurse who bought a friend with her called Dennis the Dragon, we all practised brushing Dennis’s teeth and played a game sorting the things that would make happy teeth and things that would make teeth sad because

they had too much sugar.

The Hungry Beak Cafe

The fairies had written us another letter, this time thanking us for all the bird feeders we had made. They told us that they were setting up a “Hungry Beak” café and they needed some new recipes. We innovated our own bird pizzas and took photos of all the stages so that we can write our own instructions for making a bird pizza. We talked about the imperative verbs that we would use in an instruction text like this.

Making birds nests

We have learnt about different birds making birds nests, we watched videos of blue tits making nests and robins. We read a book about different kinds of birds nests, called Best Nest and a story called “The Prefect Nest”. We also watched a video about puffins nests. The children then used the “scrap modelling” materials to create their own Perfect nest for a bird and talked about the materials they chose based on their qualities.

Creating moving vehicles

We have been working hard making vehicles with axels, a chassis and wheels that move. The children have researched moving toy vehicles and looked at the different parts of these. They designed their own vehicles, tractors, vans, lorries and an ice cream van.

Bonkers about birds

We have followed the children’s interests and we are embarking on a project about birds. The fairies left us a bag of bird seed and items to help us make bird feeders along with a letter asking us to help their friends the birds and lots of bird feeder making instructions. We tried out lots of the instructions and made lots of different bird feeders.
