As part of our topic work we have been learning about the weather. We looked at some weather forecasts on the smartboard before having a go at making our own.

Lets hope their forecasts are correct and tomorrow is going to be lovely and sunny!

Making Pizza

There was a lot of work involved in making our own pizzas.

First we had to make the dough. We weighed out the ingredients then mixed it together until it came together. It was quite tough trying to stir it!




We set the dough aside and prepared the toppings. We very carefully cut up different vegetables to put on top and grated some cheese

Next we rolled out the dough to make the pizza base.

We spread tomato paste over the bases then placed the peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes on one pizza and left the other one plain cheese.

It was worth the effort though as they tasted great!

Waterproof materials

Today we tested materials to see if they were waterproof.

We split into 2 groups. Some began the afternoon relaxing with their feet in a foot spa and playing with rain makers before going outside to test the materials.

Outside, we put on our waterproof clothes to make sure we stayed dry. We used a watering can to pour water over the different materials. Before we did this, we predicted which were going to be waterproof and which weren't. We were very good at guessing correctly!

Items we tested included a rubber glove, paper, a sock and a plastic bag.

Our favourite item to test was the umbrella. It was great fun standing underneath it while Laura sprayed it with the hose.

Phonics - 'ch'

Splish, Splash, Splosh!

This week we began to look at our new topic, 'Splish, Splash, Splosh', which is all about water and the weather.

We found out about where we find water and what we use water for.



We used the smartboard to play a game to dress 'Lecky' in the appropriate clothes for the weather.

We used washing up liquid to blow bubbles in water and used food colouring to change the colour when playing with it.

On Tuesday afternoon we went out on a 'water walk' around town. We took turns at using the camera to take pictures of places where we saw water and of places that use water.

When we stopped to take a picture of the fire station, we were lucky enough to have the doors opened for us so we could sit on the front of the fire engine! What a lovely picture of us all!
