 This week we completed the Yoga Quest for cosmic kids yoga adventures. We started it well over a year ago but forgot to do it for quite a long time... We also did another Andy's wild workout and we made the most of the nice weather by going out for several walks to see all the beautiful flowers and plants springing into life. 


We had a nice walk around Sissinghurst castle admiring the gardens and orchards and doing an Easter trail.


We played the What's the time Mister Wolf board game.

We looked at some baby pictures of people we know and talked about how much people change as they grow up and what babies need compared to what older children or grown ups need. 

We made a cool swirly cloud in a bottle with the letterbox lab.

Vin played lots of Kahoot multiplication games.

We had a look at some of the chess puzzles in Vin's book and played some more games.

We read the story about going back in time to the Victorian era from Vin's mystery in time box.

Vin practiced drawing the times on some clocks.


We thought about who we would put in a musical band and what type of music they'd play and what they'd wear. Vin drew a cool picture.


Vin did a bit of maths on Khan Academy.

We read some more extracts from Anne of Green Gables, answered some questions about it and talked about types of adverbs.

We did the Mystery Science about why do plants give us fruit? We looked at different types of fruits and vegetables and investigated them as well as looking at plants around us and seeing how the fruits or seeds grow. We discovered a bit more about our mystery seeds in the anchor activity.

We had fun with some Easter themed stamps.


Library books as per last week!

 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...
