Sunflower Photo Gallery Spring 2022-23

Spring 1

Forest School

In Forest School we have been having lots of fun exploring for insects and using our magnifying glasses to be able to see them in more detail.  We have been creative using clay to make faces and using forest materials, such as grass and sticks for the face features.  We have particularly enjoyed sitting around the campfire eating our ‘smores’!

Spring 1

Maths

In Maths we have been learning about forming repeated patterns with different shapes and colours using various resources such as, the interactive whiteboard, 2D shapes and real life objects. Learners showed their creative sides by continuing and copying repeated patterns, then applying their understanding by creating their own patterns.

Spring 1

Science

We have been learning about the three different types of rocks, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. We have been exploring the differences in how they feel and looking at how they are formed. We have compared differences and similarities between rock types and have understood how some rocks are used for building materials.

Spring 1

PE

We have really enjoyed our PE sessions with the Warrington Wolves! We have been learning about invasion games. Over the half term we have played and learned the rules for football and basketball.  We are practising ball control, for example dribbling the ball along as we walk, passing it to each other and scoring as many goals as we can!

Spring 2

Computing

This half term, we have been focusing on collecting data via counting and sorting. Learners used the mouse on the laptop to manoeuvre around a game, sorting coloured rocks into the correct categories.

Spring 2

Maths

Sunflower have been working extremely hard, learning about fractions.  We have used different materials to help us to learn.  These include, the whiteboard, play dough and objects. Learners understood how to find a half and a whole of an object. They could show that two equal halves make one whole.

Spring 2

Science

In Science, we have been learning about comparing plants.  Sunflower enjoyed going outside and using magnifying glasses to explore different types of plants. We have learned about the different parts of a plant and differentiated between plant life. As a class, we have planted our own seeds to grow cress and we are watering them regularly to help them grow!

Spring 2

Food Technology

In Food Technology, we have been very brave when tasting a number of fruits and vegetables and giving our opinion as to whether we liked them or not. Learners began to demonstrate understanding that we need to have five portions of fruit and vegetables every day to stay healthy.

Spring 2

Dance

Sunflower had a fantastic opportunity to attend dance sessions at the Warrington Youth Zone.  We learnt a range of movements using our bodies and applied these to demonstrate our own unique dance moves.  It was so much fun and everyone fully enjoyed it!
