This week, Cherry Class began their DT Project named 'Greenhouses'.  We worked in pairs to work on strengthening frame structures. We connected the structure using wooden cocktail sticks and jelly sweets. To ensure our structures were secure we wobbled them from side to side.  If we thought our structure needed to be stronger we had to come up with ways to make it stronger. It was so much fun! This will help us ensure our own greenhouse are stable and strong.

This week, the children in Maple welcomed their Linking School partners from Alkrington Primary School to Woodland. They enjoyed an exciting day full on activities based around the book “The Crown” by Emily Kapft. The children had an artist visit them who helped them to create shadow puppets out of recycled materials to learn ways of how to reuse materials to help our planet. In the afternoon, a professional dancer came to do a workshop on creative dancing which explored movement on how our plants grow. To end the day, we played a few team building games and said goodbye to our linking partners.

This week, Cherry Class have talked about different roles and responsibilities our grownups have at home.  We thought of things like washing up, cleaning the car and cooking. We then looked at a variety of jobs adults do and talked about whether it mattered which gender did each job. Finally, we sorted through some roles and responsibilities around the home and again discussed if these were male jobs, female jobs or unisex jobs.  We confidently shared our thoughts and ideas with our partners.  We had a great collaborative discussion as a class and decided that every job is a unisex job.
