Lesson Eight
For our final Shared Education activity this year, we discussed what a rainbow was and gathered colourful objects, natural and man-made from our school environment. We worked successfully in our groups to create a rainbow with the materials we collected.

Lesson Seven
We developed our drama skills using the story 'The North Wind and The Sun'. In our groups we used mime and collected resources to bring the story to life. We had great fun getting into the roles and adapting to different scenarios!

Lesson Six:
We enjoyed listening to videos and sounds clips which inspired our creations. We experimented making loud, soft, fast, slow, long and short sounds. We used our bodies and natural equipment to create the sounds of different weather conditions.
Unfortunately lots of our videos would not upload but we cannot wait to tell our new friends all about them on zoom on Tuesday.

Lesson Five:
The children experimented with a range of materials to create beautiful 'Spring/Summer' themed Stick Mobiles! They worked well in groups and used lots of team work and compromise to complete their task. We used a glue gun to help us attach our natural decorations and are delighted with how they turned out.

Lesson Four:
The children discussed different elements of weather, they then experimented with a range of materials to make a strong structure. We decided to make kites. This kept us busy on two very wet days, we look forward to trying them out next week!

Lesson One:
Our lesson began with the children observing and discussing the natural things in our school environment.
We talked about their opinions, what they liked and disliked . They used their imagination to draw and label the 'perfect' woodland area. We learnt about the sustainability of their woodland design.
