Bear was full of cold and his friends looked after him. That was very kind but poor friends ended up catching bear's nasty cold.
This led to our science investigation about germs:
How germs spread.
We tried to answer the following questions: What are germs? How big are they? Why is it important
to wash our hands?
We put a small amount of
hand lotion into pupils’ hands and asked them to put glitter on one hand. We explained
that the glitter was pretend germs and asked them to shake hands and touch
things around the room. Children observed that the glitter would stick to
whatever they touched not just their friends’ hands.
We then discussed how to get rid of those annoying
bugs. We first used paper towels but there were still lots left on our hands.
We then used cold water but we could still see germs on our skin.
So children suggested suggested to use soap
and warm water. All the germs had gone!
Cold water...
'There are some germs left on my hands'
'We should use soap and warm water'.

The end of the week led to a little bit of performance poetry and we didn't need to go very far to find our props.
Autumn Leaves
(Performed to the tune of London Bridge)
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down,
Autumn leaves are falling down, it is Autumn.
Find a rake and rake them up, rake them up, rake them up.
Find a rake and rake them up.
It is Autumn.
Make a pile and jump right in, jump right in, jump right in.
Make a pile and jump right in, it is Autumn.
We have finished our second whole class reading text this week, This is the Bear and the Scary Night.
The children have enjoyed reading and sharing lots of different tasks associated with the text....
As you can see, another busy week.
The children should have bought news of their part in our Christmas Play, a letter will follow Monday so that you have time to sort costumes.
Many thanks
Have a lovely weekend.
