We are continuing with our topic of 'Africa' and the book handa's surprise. In maths we have been working lots with fruit. We measured the length of different fruits using rulers and on Thursday we learnt about measuring in ml. We followed a recipe to make fruit juice drinks. We had to read the scale on the measuring jug carefully. Afterwards we got to drink them they were delicious!
At the beginning of the week we had a visit from a zoo keeper. Anna spoke to us about her job and what she does on a daily basis. The children had all written questions to ask her and found out lots about being a zoo keeper. By the end of the session she had inspired lots of the children who then said they would like to work as a zoo keeper when they are older.

This week we tasted fruits from the story Handa's surprise. Our favourite fruit was the spiky, juicy pineapple. Our least favourite was the green, creamy avocado. In literacy we then wrote descriptions of the fruits using our senses. In art this week we continued on the theme of Africa, mixing our own powder paint colours and using different stroke movements to create colourful elephants, zebras and giraffes. With help from our art specialist Mrs Matthews the children were encouraged to dip, dab, mix and paint. Our paintings are now hanging in our classroom for everyone to see!
