Science Week: Farm to Fork talk by Tesco staff

We all very much enjoyed our visit from Diss Tesco's staff.

Simon from the Fresh Fish counter brought some fish and seafood for us to look at.

We were even able to pick up the fish.

Sarah-Louise talked to us about where different fruit and vegetables grow. We had to work out whether they grew on trees, on bushes, in the ground or under the soil.

We also had the chance to taste different cheeses and try some olives.

When we had finished our activities, we were able to taste different fruit and decide which was our favourite. Please come into our class to see the bar chart we made. Mango was the most popular fruit.

In the afternoon, we made apple crumble from the apples and pears which the Tesco staff had given us.

Tomorrow, we will be making vegetable kebabs!

Making our class Christmas cake

                First we mixed the dried fruit and orange juice and stirred the mixture many times!

     
      Then we creamed together the butter and brown sugar and beat it until the mixture was light and fluffy.           We also beat the eggs.

      Finally, we put all the ingredients together, mixed them once again and put the mixture in the tin.

When the cake was cooked, we then added the marzipan, icing and finally the decorations. We are all very proud of our team effort. Please come into the classroom to see the finished cake before we eat it!!

European Day of Languages 26 September

 

We took part in many different activities to celebrate the European Day of Languages.

We chose to focus on the country of Germany.

 

                                     We had great fun making a collage of the German flag. 

                                                               

  Now it is finished!

 

 

We each made schultute; a cone of sweets and toys which German children bring into school on the first day of the new school year to share with their classmates.

 

We made pretend sweets to put inside.

 

We danced away to German music and had great fun!

 

 

 

Next, we tried some German food. We tasted Kasebrot and Schinkenbrot and drank Apfelsaft.

 

At the end of the school day we shared all our experiences in a whole school assembly.

The new school year with Robins class.

We have been working hard in the Robins garden.

We have had visitors to our class to talk to us about their jobs.

We have been busy working with Miss Buck to gather our ideas on how to improve the decking area of the classroom. Here, we have created our own camouflage design to use for the roof of our den.

Our Day Out at Bressingham Steam Museum

Robins had a wonderful day at Bressingham. First, we had a tour of the Exhibition Hall.

We climbed up the steps to see inside the Post Train.                                                                               

                                                                               

Finding out about the Traction Engines and Steam Rollers was interesting.                                                                                       

Then we looked inside the Vintage Toy Museum.                                                                                     

                                

We found out about the printing press.                                                                                         

Trains, trains and more trains. There was so much to look at.                                                                 

Finally, we learnt why traction engines have such long funnels!                                                                   

 We then went outside to enjoy a ride on the merry-go-round.

We just had time for a ride on the Garden Line train before lunch.

 

Time for lunch!                                                                                                                                  

We had another ride on a train, more fun on the carousel and then it was time to go home!

                                                                                                                            

Easter Egg Hunt Fun!

We ended the Spring term by enjoying an Easter egg hunt. We worked in groups to find eggs of the same colour.

Comparing, measuring, having fun!

Robins have enjoyed their new experience for this week; experimenting with different quantities of rice.

The children have talked about different sized containers and spoons. We have looked at how small a grain of rice is and compared it with a polystyrene cube.
