Wow! What a busy first week back we have had in Badgers this week.
In Maths, we explored measuring objects both inside and outside the classroom. We looked at measuring in centimeters and meters. Some of us even took on the challenge to measure how long the playground is!
We also began looking at weaving within DT, starting with paper. We then began designing a piece of fabric in our books and then started transferred our designs onto our fabric. I was super impressed with the detail of everybody's work. Great job, Badgers!
WB 2nd October 2023
Badger class visited Hill Farm this week, we had a fantastic time! The Badgers all listened really well to Mr Cooper telling them all about the Farming equipment that is used today. Badgers were also very interested about what life was like in the 'olden days', we looked carefully around the farming equipment from the past and other household items. All of the Badgers decided they definitely would not have enjoyed living in the past as there was 'too many jobs to do' after school, like fetching water from the well and carrying it all the way back home.
Have a lovely weekend!
