Today we have been programming a route for the Bee bots to travel! This was quite tricky for us to work out, and we had to restart lots of times to become familiar with the route that the Bee bots travelled. We had to work as a team for this and it really paid off as some of us were able to make the route more than once!

This week we have sewn and finished off our alphabet books! These have been our DT project this half term, and the children had great fun sewing their books together on Tuesday afternoon. We have been resilient with this project as it’s something we started a while ago, and some of us even lost our pages as we were working! We have all worked really hard and we hope that you will be amazed at our hard work when they come home with us tomorrow.

Today we have covered our book front covers with glue. it was a bit messy but hopefully it will help our books feel like a real hardback book!
Some of us managed to do a watercolour wash on them too so there’s lots of colour!

Today we’ve started to plan our hot write based on The King’s Hats. We will be writing about aliens in their underpants and we had great fun coming up with ideas for them today in our planning lesson. We came up with lots of noun phrases to use for our writing tomorrow and we drew the aliens that we will be writing about. Some aliens had lots of eyes, and some had only one, but they all had silly underpants! We can’t wait to see how our writing ends up tomorrow!

This week we have been to Leeds City Museum for our trip! We have really loved the adventure we had, from catching the bus to town and looking around the museum. We loved learning about the way Leeds looked throughout history, and we learned about the changes it has seen. It helped us to see how things might have looked when King Charles was our age, and how it would’ve been different compared to our lives now. We were really interested in the different maps that we found, and some of us managed to find Alwoodley!
