What an exciting morning Year 1 have had! There has been an alien invasion in our classrooms!! Take a look at what the alien did and the clues that they left. You will also notice some shocked faces too! #English #Science #WOWmoment

The children were very excited this morning to see that our class beanstalk has grown very tall over the weekend! #Science #Year1 #1B

Year 1 went on a wild plant hunt to Sunnyhurst Woods. On their travels, they found some wild garlic. Mrs Mitchelll was very kind and used it to make the children some wild garlic soup. Here are some pictures of the children tasting it... #Science #Year1

In Science, 1B looked at what a seed needs to grow. They planted their own broad beans that they are going to look after. Take a look at our little gardeners in action... #Science #Year1 #1B

This afternoon, 1B have been learning about what a carnivore, herbivore and omnivore is. They sorted the different animals into groups and then made animal poo to match the foods that they eat. It is safe to say we had lots of fun and laughs whilst learning new things. #1B #Science #Year1

This afternoon, 1B have had a lovely Autumnal walk in the woods. We were looking at the trees and the fallen leaves and thinking about why there are so many leaves on the ground in Autumn. #Year1 #1B #Science

Year 1 have been learning all about their senses in Science and this week, they have taken part in Autumnal activities whilst thinking about their 5 senses. We have done some amazing autumnal writing. Take a look at the children in action... #1B #Year1 #English #Science #Writing

In Science, we have been learning about our body parts. Take a look at our playdough bodies. #1B #Science #Year1

Some of 1B have had an amazing time at the farm today. Take a look at them having lots of FUN! #Year1 #Science #PSHE #1B

We have had an absolutely fantastic day at Mrs Dowson's farm. The sun was shining, the children were smiling and everyone had lots of FUN! #Year1 #1B #Science #PSHE

1B have enjoyed taking part in nature activities during Mental Health Awareness Week. We have linked some of our activities to our Art and Science learning too. This term, the children have also enjoyed having plants in the classroom that they have looked after each day. Take a look at some pictures of the children looking after their plants, making nature faces, giving each other positive affirmation notes (that made lots of them have beaming smiles on their faces), learning

In Science, Year 1 have been learning all about animals and their habitats. Today, they created their own habitat for their chosen animal. Take a look at their brilliant work! #Year1 #Science

Just as our playtime was approaching, the sky blessed us with another fresh scattering of snow. In true Avondale fashion, we didn't waste the opportunity to consolidate our 'seasons' learning from last term and get out into this rare weather opportunity. It was magical! Take a look at the children exploring in the snowy weather (safely of course)... #Year1 #Science

Tinker the elf left us a skittle experiment to do. We loved seeing all the bright colours appear and mix together. #Year1 #1B #Science

1B have been on a lovely walk in the woods this afternoon. They have learn about deciduous and evergreen trees and discussed why there are so many leaves on the floor in Autumn. The children had lots of fun and really impressed us with their super behaviour. #1B #Science #Year1

Year 1 have had a very exciting morning. We received a letter from The Bear Factory and the children in 1B became super sense detectives! The Bear Factory are inventing a new bear and wanted Year 1 to sense the different features they want the bear to have: - Feel soft - Smell fresh and clean - Taste like oranges - Look brown - Make no sound Our 1B sense detectives got straight to work and did a fantastic job at finding all the correct features for the new bear. We have had l

Year 4 have been learning how to measure temperature. We measured hot and cold temperatures and each measured our own body temperatures too. #4B #Year4 #Science

In Science, we are learning all about states of matter and we have been classifying solids, liquids and gases. We have experimented with cornflour slime and we have also tested to find out if all liquids are the same. #Science #Experiments #Year4 #4B

4B have had a great time in the Life Education environment this morning to kick off our 'Healthy Me' PSHE unit. They learnt lots about their bodies and how it is GREAT to be them because we are all unique and that is wonderful! #PSHE #Science #Year4

4B have spent the morning without electricity. They have been writing and doing maths by candlelight and have realised how much we normally use electricity in the classroom and at home. Our classroom certainly smells nice and feels cosy though. #4B #Year4 #Science #Maths #Writing
