Making a history time line

In history lessons we have been learning about the Victorians.  To help us understand when the Victorians were around and what happened during their era we have been looking at key events from this year to the year that Queen Victoria became Queen.  This history time line will be displayed in our classroom.

The children found it very interesting to talk about the first gramaphone and compate it to the devices that we can listen to music on today.

Book sharing

These authors visited nursery with their super books on colour that they had written themselves.  They read and showed them to the nursery children demonstrating super speaking skills.

Super Sorting

These super sorters have used the tweezers to sort the animals.  Can you think of another way to sort these animals?

 These clever children also used the camera by themselves to take these pictures.

Easter in October ????

We have been busy making bunny ears for an exciting new calendar that the Friends of Fieldhead are putting together.  You will have to buy the calendar to see all the cute bunnies.

Look who's been reading a story to the class.  I am so proud of this student's super reading and the class loved the story.

Using a bucket balance

Look at our great maths work.  We have been learning to measure how heavy objects are using a bucket balance and cubes.  The children have been trying to accurately estimate how many cubes would be needed to balance each object.

Which is heaviest?

Have you got the buckets to balance?

The picture frame feels heavier than the red tub. 

Counting in the cubes carefully.

Victorian children

In readiness for our Victorian school day next week in History we have been looking at the lives of rich and poor Victorian children.  Here the children are reading statements and deciding if they describe a rich or poor Victorian child.

If you want to find our more about Victorian life have a look at this website with a grown up.
