Spooky Halloween fun! 12th October - 28th October 2018

Vin has wanted to try a Dragon fruit for ages! We finally found one to buy and try. We made our predictions before cutting it, what did we think it would look like inside? How would it taste? We were all way off! (it tasted a bit like kiwi)



We used some foam modelling clay to make some Halloween monsters


We built the Labo piano, Vin was so inventive and used the leftover little pieces to make a picture. It is a city, with power lines.


The ninja turtles had some fun practicing writing numbers


Vin did some great drawing in his How to draw Ninjago characters book


Vin invented some very interesting lego creations.


He is really enjoying colouring at the moment. He has done a LOT!


We've had fun with magnetic tiles


Vin's read steam train books at the Second hand book shop at Scotney Castle (again! Is this the 3rd or 4th time now?!)


We drew our own autumn leaves, cut them out, and used them to make pretty autumn lantern decorations.



We made gloopy halloween slime with googly eyes in!


We read the poem "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll. We imagined and drew what we thought the snark may look like.


Vin made awesome sand sculptures with his friend


And a huge pile of leaves, and then kicked it all down!


Vin drew a terrifying halloween monster!


We had fun at a halloween party. Vin decorated a cake, made a spider, coloured a mask and pulled lots of monstery faces.


We did a trail round the house at Scotney Castle solving clues to make a picture. And ran around the garden on a quest to find the prettiest autumn leaves.


We made a Guy Fawkes to go on the bonfire. Vin helped sew up the legs on some old trousers, and helped stuff it with newspapers. He made a scary face to go on the head. He's a bit scary! Perfect for Halloween as well as Bonfire night.


Plus lots of drawing, colouring, lego, writing a letter to the tooth mouse and reading a billion story books!

 This is our last week of the year before we take 3 weeks off for Christmas and New Year. Our week started with something a bit unusual - snow! We went sledging, built a snow gorilla, had snowball fights and of course, as per our theme, built snow castles! Our theme for article of the week this week is all about the lead up to the Age of Exploration. We read about the travels of Marco Polo, the methods used for navigation, the spice trade, and the new ships the Europeans started making in the Middle Ages to help them travel longer distances. We had some more fun with numbers. We practiced more adding and subtracting within 20 and tried out some different methods of making it easier when subtracting such as breaking the number down so you can get to an easier number first then subtract the rest. We played sum bingo, a sum matching memory game, a number bonds to 20 matching memory game, and a game where we had to find the missing number to add to make a total and do that many of an a...

 A bit of a quieter week this week as we had a few family things to do. We made some lego stop motion videos. We found the youtube channel of the person from the legocon thing we watched last week and got some tips and inspiration. Then we set up our scenes and made our own. We played with lots of lego too, watched some octonauts, played some games.  We went out to a new nature area with some friends and we identified some creatures we found using google lens on the app. We think this guy is a lesser stag beetle. The first 2 strawberries from our garden were ready to eat! We also went to a wedding and Vin had fun playing with some children there.

 This week we did some more activities about money. We practiced identifying coins and adding them up. We played Ed and Bunny go shopping. Vinnie filled in an activity sheet with lots of addition and subtraction of money. V read a couple of story books about people saving money and raising money. We also did some white rose maths activities. We did the letterbox lab experiment making a rubber band helicopter. We tried out different things to find out the best balance between size and weight of the helicopter compared to the blades.  Vinnie did some pages from his handwriting book, his comprehension activities book and his spelling practice book.  He drew some lovely fun pictures. He is very inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog at the moment so has drawn some fun scenes with the characters from the games and cartoons. We did some puzzles together. Vinnie chose some mini mysteries to watch on mystery science, we enjoyed watching about how lego bricks were invented, and why people...
