Eastgate Academy

This week, Eagles class enjoyed some different learning experiences. Finally, the weather was kind enough to us (only just!) and we ventured out to the Walks on a nature hunt. It was wonderful to hear the children using their new vocabulary:

'That's a deciduous tree, Miss Snow!'

'Can you see the buds growing on that tree? Does it stay green all year, is it evergreen?'

We also spotted a jay bird, something many of the children and some of the adults had not seen before.

In Literacy. we have been reading 'The Magic Finger' by Roald Dahl and have been recreating the scene where the Greggs have just turned into ducks.

Then, during art, we had a go at printing our own designs of fish onto paper. We are working as a class team to create a mural, and look forward to showing it off once it is finished.

In History, we have been learning about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.

In Science, we have started learning about Materials and Matter.
