Autumn Soup


On Monday we had the opportunity to make an autumn soup from the vegetables grown in the school garden. The children went out in groups of 6 to help chop up all the veg and prepare the soup. 
In the soup we put: carrots, potatoes, onion, beans, cabbage, pepper, squash, corn, peas and tomatoes. We let the soup cook over lunch time so it was nice and hot. After assembly, we got to try the soup! Some of the children in Skylarks really enjoyed it, others were not so keen. However we all gave it a try to test it out. Well done Skylarks.

Column Calculation

For the past couple of weeks we have been looking at the tricky column calculations in Skylarks! The children have worked really hard and have achieved some brilliant work! I have been really proud of all of them for their determination and trying their best throughout the maths lessons. Well Done Skylarks! 



Roald Dahl

In Skylarks we have been busy learning about Roald Dahls life and some of the books he has written. Last week we looked at the BFG and his dream catching. The children captured their own dream and wrote the adjectives in the jam jar, then their dream underneath. The children had some fantastic dreams!

Cucumber Mummies!



We did a science experiment to investigate how Ancient Egyptian mummification methods helped to stop decay. 
Which cucumber 'mummy' do you think has decayed the least/most?  

Parents Carousel

Thank you to everyone who came to our carousel. Here are some photos!









Making mummies and sarcophagi

First we measured the cardboard and cut it out.

Then we stuck the cardboard together with masking tape.


We made mummies out of scrap paper and masking tape to go inside.


Finally we painted them.

Hautbois


As you know, Skylarks went to Hautbois last Friday for a school trip before sleeping over in the school hall. We all had a brilliant time, here are some photos of all the things we got up to!
