As part of our topic of Houses and Homes, we have set up an estate agents in our role play area.
The children have been taking on different roles and deciding on the types of houses their character might want. The estate agent has been asking questions to establish more details and share options with their clients.
We have been learning to tell the time in Bowfell Class this week. We started with o’clock and then half past.
We have played ‘What Time is it Mr Wolf?’, we have used our bodies and made the times on small clocks. Year 1 have also been solving problems using time.
Last week, we went to Dallam to enjoy a science afternoon. It was really fun. First we got into pairs and started our tasks which were: building helmets and cars! Making the hats was tricky because they had to fit our heads and have special features. Everyone’s was different but we had to make lots of changes so that they fitted on our heads!

At first we didn’t know what k’nex was but then our tutor, Fran, explained and gave us instructions on how to build a car out of K’nex. He gave us two specific things for our car. These were to fit a shoe onto the car and the second was to have a compartment that fitted a spare tyre inside. On our car we decided that we would use Rosie’s shoe to put on the car. Our second decision was not to use a band to stick the shoe to the car, but use Rosie’s velcro on her shoe instead. Fran set a ramp for each car to be rolled down to see whose car travelled the furthest. We came in 3rd place – It was a fantastic afternoon!
