We had great fun learning about different food groups this week! We used our senses of sight, smell, touch and taste to decide if we liked them or not.
The grapes tasted juicy.
The orange tasted sour.
The blueberries were small.
As part of DT, we decided to make a fruit salad as a healthy snack. We chose the different fruits we wanted to use and learnt how to cut them safely. They looked tasty!

In our Art lessons this term, we have been learning how to draw. We have worked hard to use our observations to draw from real life.
We looked at the artist Paul Cezanne. We liked the way he painted different set up scenes and we noticed that these often included fruit. In our Art lesson this week, we had different arrangements set up on our tables and we drew them using our obervation skills. We worked incredibly hard and showed what amazing artists we are.
Throughout the year, we will be exploring the different seasons. This week we went on a walk to spot signs of Autumn. We noticed that the ground was wetter than it had been and there were many leaves on the floor. We learnt about evergreen and deciduous trees.
We looked at the Oak tree on the bottom field. We think it is deciduous because some of the leaves were turning brown and there were lots of Oak leaves on the floor. We will check this tree again next term to see if it has changed.
We found some Holly in the woods. We noticed that the leaves were still dark green and shiny. We think this is evergreen. We will come back to the Holly next term to see if it has changed.

We have had some amazing Inquiry Project presentations this term. The children were able to show fantastic communication skills when talking about what they had done to the rest of the class. It is always interesting to see the range of different projects that have been created. This term we had fantastic posters promoting healthy eating and/or exercise, amazing models, marvellous menus and some super videos showing delicious healthy snacks and tiring exercise routines.
