1, 2, 3, 4, 5....once I SAW a fish alive.......and a Shark, and an Eel, and some Penguins!

Our topic this term has been 'Our Environment and Climate Change'.  

In particular we have looked at the things we do that directly impact the habitats of other living things on our Earth.  

We have discussed the ways in which we can 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle' everyday objects to ensure we are being Environmental Superheroes!  

We took a trip to Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium to further investigate our topic.  

Check out the fun we had!

Can you spot the Eel?

Coral.
A turtle shell!
The iced water is SOOOO cold!
 



Fantails - Ready to Go!


Things are about to get a little 'Topsy Turvy'.




Don't fall over Mrs McLeish!


Penguins, Penguins....Everywhere!


A starfish!

Look!  What type of creature is this? :-)




It was all a little bit too much fun for some of us.

Forces for courses!

We have been investigating 'Forces' during Science.  

We can discuss the importance of 'Gravity'.  

We know that 'pushes' and 'pulls' are forces.  

Today we experimented with soft and hard pushes and pulls, and discovered how these forces impact our toy train.









Minus, Take Away, Subtract.......

We have been learning to understand subtraction as counting back and 'take away'.  

We are learning to use a number line to help us keep track of our counting.

Fantails CAN swim!

Yes they can!  

Our Intensive Swimming lessons finished this week and it was a privilege watching the Fantails improve in all areas of their water skills.  

Thank you to Mr Donovan and Connor's Mum (Jenny) for getting into the pool with us!

The last session focussed on boat and water safety.  

Take a look at the skills we worked on!
