Autumn Term
Toucan - Colour Mixing and Pirate Ship Painting
Over the past week Toucans have been mixing primary colours to create colour wheels. They have also been experimenting with mixing all three primary colours to create the perfect 'pirate ship brown'. After, they put their skills to good use and have sketched and then painted their very own pirate ships! Super work Toucans!
Toucans - Testing what daffodils need to grow (a comparative test)
Throughout this year, Toucans will be learning to observe and describe how bulbs grow into mature plants. They are are learning to carry out simple comparative tests by growing daffodils in different conditions. The children loved planting them independently in groups and set up their own comparative tests.
Toucans - Geography - Continents and Mountains
This term, the children in Toucans have done a brilliant job of learning the continents. We can all sing the continents song to help us remember their names and the order of size. The children can also find them on a map.
After this, we looked at some of the mountain ranges across the world. We were amazed how big Mount Everest, was compared to Ben Nevis. We used cubes to build to scale models of the height.
