On Wednesday afternoon, we carried out an experiment to look at floating and sinking. We found various objects around our classroom and predicted whether they would 'float' or 'sink'. We looked at the differences including the size and the weight. We then completed a chart where we drew pictures of the objects that we tested in the water.
"Here are some of the things we predicted correctly..."
"The coin will sink"
"The duck will float"
"There are holes in the aeroplane so it will sink"
"I think this (rock) will sink because its heavy"
"What have you learnt about floating and sinking?"
"Sinking is when it (the object) sinks down"
"The feather floated because you can see it on top of the water"
"The money went down in the water"
"The rock clashed down under the water"
"It sunk because it's heavier"
We have been making so many delicious treats this half term thanks to all of the mummies and daddies.

Listen to the children tell the story.
This term our core book is ‘NOT A BOX’. The children from Rainbow class have really enjoyed; joining in with the story, adding our own imaginative ideas, creating animals and different forms of transport from boxes, taking part in deconstructive role play and creating a ‘special display’ all about our work!
Home Projects
Mrs Bear is our class friend. A few weeks ago Mrs Bear turned 20 years old so we had lots of celebrating to do. First, we celebrated by singing lots of birthday songs such as; Happy Birthday (followed by 20 claps) and Five Currant Buns. We used props such as money and numbered currant buns to help us to recognise our numbers and practise our counting skills. Afterwards, we tasted real currant buns from the bakers shop during our snack time. We even got a chance to cut our own currant bun (using plastic knives) to develop our fine motor skills. The children enjoyed sharing the buns with their friends. As a class, we decided it would be really nice to have our very own bakers’ shop which we named ‘The Bakey Bakey Shop’. In the Baker's shop window we have made our own currant bun pictures and discussed ‘how many…’ and counted as we stuck the currants on our buns. Of course, the children loved to wrap presents up for Mrs Bear too using different tools to see which one was the most effective including; pritt stick, sticky glue and cellotape.
Mrs Bear loves going on adventures at the weekend with all the members of Rainbow Class, we now have a display in class to see the wonderful places that Mrs Bear has been visiting.
Rainbow Class like to get messy. In our first few days at school we were busy creating portraits of ourselves. We looked at what clothes we wear and explored colour mixing.
We are trying very hard to write our names and practise this every day in lots of different ways.
This term in Rainbow Class we celebrated Harvest Festival. We had a trip to our church where we donated tins and food to a local charity.
In class we enjoyed looking at different fruit and vegetables. We then created bright beautiful fruit and vegetable printing pictures.
Excitedly we made vegetable soup. We developed lots of new skills as we prepared, chopped and cooked the vegetables ourselves.
Luckily we were then able to eat our delicious soup for snack, which we enjoyed very much.
Nursey have been learning about the life cycle of the Hungry Caterpillar.
