Y1 Science, by Miss Lynch
Date: 25th Nov 2014 @ 4:20pm
The children really enjoyed learning about light sources. At first, lots of the children thought that shiny objects were light sources so we did a test to investigate this. The children went into a dark area and found out that shiny objects don't produce their own light. But they can reflect light.
Well done to Adam for knowing that the moon is not a light source and that it reflects the sunlight.

Hokey Pokey Pig & The Pogs!
This week Year 1 and Year 2 spent the whole morning with an Author called Deborah Elias. She shared her E-book with the chidlren called 'Hokey Pokey Pig & The Pogs.
We all had great fun drawing, colouring, and finding the rhyming words in her story. We hope that by meeting a real author, the children have been inspired and will hopefully write and draw more in the future!
The session ended with a competition where the children had to write a book review saying what they liked about Deborah's book and why.

In the story Billy's Grandma gives im some Guatemalan worry dolls. If you tell a worry doll your worries before bedtime they will do all your worrying for you while they are under your pillow.
