Baking Bread, Butter and Jam Pudding!

We were bakers today! We made bread, butter and jam pudding. See if you see how we made it. 

While we were waiting for it to bake, we wrote about what we did.

All finished. Time to eat - yum!

Our New Underwater Toy Box!

 The sandpit toys had a new box to live in, so we got the old box in Moana to store our dress ups and cushions in. 

It was an ugly, light green box, so we changed it!

After giving the box a clean, we painted the outside of it to look like the sea. We used sponges and acrylic paint.

Last week, we had made some fish for a library display. We had made two fish each, so the left-over fish were saved for this box. 

But there is more than just fish underwater! We also made seaweed and bubbles.

It was time then to glue these carefully onto the toy box. We used PVA glue.

To keep things shiny, we painted over everything with PVA glue afterwards.

Now our box holds our toys and looks AMAZING! Do you like it?

Making our own Musical Instruments!

 We have been exploring Sound and Communication all term, and today, we made our own musical instruments!

Listen to our cool band and see what we each made today.

Mixed up animals!

Yesterday was Pet Day at school, so we kept thinking about animals today.

What if we mixed animals up? A woofing cat! A mooing chicken! A tweeting fish!

We had fun inventing mixed up animals.

Then we read the story, "The Big Animal Mix-Up" By Gareth Edwards. It was funny to see the funny mixes he made!

To practise our fine motor skills, we carefully cut out and coloured some animal shapes. Then it was time to put them together to make new funny animals.

Check out some of our amazing new animals!

In library time, we read "Who's for Dinner" by Claire Freedman. In this book, the animals tricked the fox by pretending to be other animals, so they were mixed up too!
