We have had another busy and enjoyable week in Lime Tree Class, with lots of exciting learning taking place.
This week in English, we have continued looking at the story Owl Babies. The children wrote descriptions of the forest, thinking carefully about what they could see, hear and feel. They used some lovely descriptive language in their writing.
In Art, we have been doing some observational drawing. The children looked carefully at things we found in nature, including leaves, pinecones and feathers. They focused on the shapes, patterns and details they could see.
In Science, we have continued learning about our topic this half term, mammals. This week, we focused on birds and learned about different species. The children also went on a walk to see how many different types of birds they could spot.
In History, we continued learning about Florence Nightingale and Nellie Spindler. We learned about the Crimean War and how Florence helped care for injured soldiers. We also learned about Nellie Spindler and her work as a nurse during the First World War. The children then wrote a sentence to describe each of these important nurses.
It has been a great week of learning in Lime Tree Class, and we are very proud of how hard the children have worked.
