Yellow Colour Week. Week Ending: 19.01.18

Hello, 

 This week it is colour week. Chestnut Class' colour is yellow. For home learning we brought in a yellow object from home. We had a yellow skateboard, yellow teddy, yellow book and a yellow flower in our small world tray, alongside lots of other yellow bits!

 This week in maths we have been learning about data. We collected information on our favourite colours using a tally chart. Then we turned it into a bar graph on the laptops.

 We tried a piece of banana, pineapple and lemon as part of a yellow fruit tasting activity. 
"The lemon tasted very sour." Annabelle
"The pineapple was juicy." Georgina
"The banana was quite mushy." Jack
In English we wrote our own colour poems. 
"What is blue? the sky is blue where the clouds like to move." Clara
"What is red? a toy car is red, driving near the bed." Emily.Cr
"What is green? a leaf is green, in the shimmering trees." Zanthi
In art we have been thinking about our observations. We used our sketching skills to draw lemons, yellow flowers, peppers and a banana. 

 With Mrs Couch we did a magic trick which involved a banana... 

 During science we made our own butter by shaking cream and a marble together for 10 minutes!
Well done to Austin who is Star of the Week for his good listening. 

 Congratulations to Harry.G who will be spending the weekend with Tweet for taking responsibility for his learning.

 Home learning is to research a wild animal's habitat and record in your own way. 
















Next Thursday we are going on our school trip. Remember to wear a warm coat and bring in your permission slip.

    I liked playing in our Yellow submarine and singing our Yellow submarine song. I was proud of my art on artist of the week and I liked writing our first poem about Yellow also I liked writing our first story about The day the crayons quit and Mrs Couch showed us a magic trick with a banana. I have just shown it to my mummy at home! Harry Timms

    I liked when we did the magic trick with a banana. My favourite colour is gold because it is shiny.
    We were listening to dancing in the rain. Bye bye!!!!!

    I can't wait until the school trip in 3 days. I can't wait for the coach trip and seeing all the animals and having lunch somewhere different. I also can't wait to hear about Tweet's adventures with Harry G.
