We have been learning about ducklings. On Monday we had a delivery of 5 live eggs. The eggs were put into an incubator to keep them warm to help them hatch.The eggs started to crack and on Wednesday afternoon a tiny wet duckling hatched.
" The feathers are called down and they are fluffy" Oliver
" The ducklings stay in the egg for 28 days" Ben C
"When the ducklings come out the feathers are very wet" Oscar S
"The duckling uses it's egg tooth to peck the shell". Ella
In PE we have been learning a May Dance. May King and Queen are Sammy and Evie. We went in a circle together and we practised our skipping.

Our learning owl this week has been practising their next step. Otto is going home with Bella who has been trying hard with her writing. well done . Have fun with Otto.

Welcome Back
Welcome back from the Easter holidays. The children have come back excited to share their news of the exciting things they have been doing in the holidays.
This afternoon we all sat in the sunshine and watched the official opening of Redbourn Primary School. The oldest and the youngest child untied the ribbon and Mrs Hinchliffe welcomed all the children, staff and parents.
We have some tadpoles in the classroom and the children are watching closely to see what changes might occur.
We hope on Monday to have some live duck eggs into school, we are all very excited and hope to see them hatch into ducklings.
This week the children have been writing about what they have done in the holidays and we have had some amazing sentences with capital letters and full stops.
Our Learning Owl is Sienna who has been persevering with her writing.Well done have fun with Otto.

Science Week
This week we have been scientists.
" Science is when you discover something and you tell people"Sammy
We have been learning about waterproof materials. We were challenged to make a waterproof bird house. We tested different materials and made a prediction of what we thought would happen when water was poured on them. We used felt, paper, bubble wrap and tin foil.
" The foil is waterproof because the water stays on the top " Ronnie.
" The paper soaks up the water . This is why the water took longer to go through the material in the cup" Leo
In our morning activities we predicted what we thought would happen when we added water to salt, sugar and sand.
We also made a collage from different materials and described how they felt.
" The cotton wool is smooth and soft and the lino is scratchy". Toby
" The lino feels like crisps " Sienna.
We had a musical instrument workshop, and we explored how different materials make different sounds.
Our home learning this week is to go on a 3D shape hunt, and to name and describe the shapes we see.
Our Learning Owl this week is Charlie M who has been using his exploring and thinking skills in Science week . Well done Charlie have fun with Otto.

Camouflage
We had a very exciting start to our week. We visited St Lukes to look at their animals as part of our learning.We held some of the animals very carefully and others didn't like being held!
" Camouflage means that animals can change colour" Evie
" They change colour to blend into the background to hide from predators". Sammy
" The trip was very good. I liked the chameleon". Oscar S
In maths we have been learning about subtraction.
" Subtraction means taking away" Toby
"If you have 10 apples and you take away 5 it would be 5 apples left". Nathaniel.
We talked about starting with the biggest number when subtracting and taking the smaller away from it. We used the tens frames to help us.
We drew pictures and crossed off the number we were taking away.
We hope you have enjoyed spending your World Book day vouchers.We made headbands of our favourite book characters and wore them into assembly this afternoon.
Next week is Science Week. We are taking part in a Bubble Workshop on Tuesday and we will be learning about waterproof materials.
Our Learning Owl is Oliver who has taking his learning forwards in Learning Through Play. Well done. Have fun with Otto.

Welcome back! The children have settled back well and have been enthusiastic in learning about Chinese New Year. We made lanterns and practised counting up to 5 in Mandarin. Oscar taught us how to say hello and goodbye and Bella shared a Chinese lantern and a paper dragon she had bought in London.
" Chinese New Year is important. I went to my friend's house and played. My friend's daddy gave me some money in a red envelope".
"It is the Year of the Dog" Nathaniel
" Dragons are lucky. Red is a lucky colour. They put lanterns up in their homes. " Ronnie
" The emperor had a race and the rat won".Grace
In maths we have been learning to match different coins and talk about what is the same and what is different.
Next week is Book week. We shall be reading the story of The Magic paintbrush by Julia Donaldson. We will be reading different books she has written. On Friday please can we bring a cushion and a book into school for a whole school read in the hall in the afternoon.
Our Learning Owl is Nathaniel who has been making links in his learning by using his phonics in his writing. Well done, have fun with Otto.

Sharing Assembly
We really enjoyed sharing our assembly with you, and hope you enjoyed it too. The children spoke really well and were very proud of their learning.
This week as well as practising our assembly we have been thinking about money, matching coins and talking about what's the same and what is different. We played a game called Odd One Out using 2p 5p and 10p.
" The 2p coin is the odd one out because its the largest coin but the smallest amount" Grace
" The 10p is the odd one out because it is the biggest". Max P
" The 5p is the odd one out because it is an odd number". Oliver
When we come back from the holidays we shall be learning about Chinese New Year. The home learning is to find out a fact to share.
We hope you have an enjoyable , fun and safe holiday.

Next week we shall be practising our assembly and look forward to sharing it with you on Friday morning.
Just to clarify our Library day is alternate Mondays and Christine the lady who runs the library for us has asked that the children keep their library books in their book bags until they are changed.
