Giants

Lorimer brought in the story of David and Goliath, which has stimulated much discussion about what can be classed as a giant. Our shared thinking time explored giants of the animal and plant kingdom, as well as giants which no longer exist, because they are extinct.
Following on from our work in the outdoor classroom creating giants’ potions and drinks we have been learning about capacity in maths. We have been exploring the concepts of empty, full, half full, half empty, nearly full and  nearly empty. We really enjoy splashing in the water when it over flows!










The update on the school pond is, we have tadpoles!
Several of us visited Wales during half term, which links in nicely with the forthcoming whole school ‘European week’, (week beginning 13th June)as we are going to research and find out as much as possible about Wales, our chosen country.
We will soon be celebrating the Queen’s 90th Birthday.
