We have made our own butterfly pictures.
Then we made symmetrical patterns in PE. We pretended that there was a mirror down the middle of our groups and we had to copy our partner so that we looked identical.

To remind us to wash our hands we have made model germs to keep in our houses.
Please remember to look after your germs when you get them home. You don't want them spreading!!!]]>
W tried our hardest to get the balloons to keep their new shape after blowing them up but as soon as we let them go they just flew around the room.
Today we looking at how we could change materials in another way. Instead of just applying physical force or pressure we looked at the effect mixing solids and liquids had and what happened when we heated materials.
Yep, you guessed it! Cakes.
By mixing the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients the consistency was changed and no matter how hard we tried we could not change it back.
We were quite pleased though because we were looking forward to eating the cakes.
]]>They had to prepare all the ingredients themselves. What a lazy teacher they have!
We did a great job. They looked fab so lets hope they taste the same.
Enjoy Year 2!
To help keep us warm we built dens making sure there were no gaps.
We lit the fire to cook some warm food and boil some water to make a delicious hot chocolate. We have some super helpers in Reception.
The hotdogs and hot chocolate were just what we needed to end a frosty day at Crookhill Forest School.
After we held the snail we were introduced to the cockroaches.
Eileen told us that cockroaches are usually really fast, but hers were not they were very slow and clung to her arms! After we stroked the cockroaches we met Tara the Tarantula.
Tara was not allowed out of her box because she is covered in special hair. If she gets scared she releases her spiky hair to scare away the enemy and we didn't want to get any in our eyes or on our skin! After Tara had been put away we were introduced to Mr. Tickle.
He was still asleep so we were very quiet as we didn't want to wake him!
Finally we were shown a hermit crab. We were not allowed to hold the hermit crab in case he nipped us.
We thought that was the end of our workshop but Eileen had one last surprise for us. Chorizo...
She really liked us. Reception were very brave and we loved every second of it. Thank you Zoo Lab for coming!
]]>Because of our frosty weather we decided to paint them white and make a beautiful winter collage out of our natural materials. Check out our pics below.
These will look beautiful above our Polar Regions display. Keep checking to see what else we have been learning.
Before we went we read the story Zog which is about dragons in a forest school. We loved the story so much we thought we would go looking for our own dragons. We quickly got ready and set off to hunt for dragons.
However, we got a little distracted and thought we should flatten the mole holes down first. It was lots of fun.
Some of us decided the best way to find a dragon was to catch one. We spent the afternoon building a variety of traps.
We are looking forward to coming back next week to see if we have caught a dragon.
