Wessex Primary School
Term 3 Orange Base - Term 4
We have had a very eventful but enjoyable term and are all definitely in need of a well deserved holiday!
As I am sure you are aware we had a fantastic few weeks learning about space which was certainly enjoyed by all! We had alien eggs land in our classroom and predicted what we thought might be inside. We did lots of numeracy work based on the song 5 little men in a flying saucer and read all about how Princess Spaghetti had to rescue her dad who had been captured by aliens. We finished our topic off having received an invitation from our own alien to a party on the orange planet where we made ‘Saturn Cakes’ ‘Pluto Biscuits’ ‘Rocket Wing Sandwiches’ and ‘Jupiter Juice’ to take with us.
We have also looked at transport that travels along water and in the air. We read Mr Gumpy’s Outing to help us learn about addition and are counting the parachutists jumping out of the plane to help us with subtraction. We made some fantastic kites which we tested in the playground and found out that thin plastic and tissue paper created the best kites. Also during our air topic we had a fantastic P.E session using the parachute which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
We had a great day getting to know the new children that will be joining us after Easter and look forward to welcoming them into our base.
We hope you all have a lovely holiday and look forward to seeing everybody refreshed and ready for another exciting term after the Easter Holidays!
