We had to design an outfit for Pirate Pete to wear on his voyage around the world. we researched different styles of clothing and tested materials to find ones that were most suitable.
We had some brilliant pirate homework!
For our enterprise project we became ASA rocks! we designed rocks and hid them around Darfield for people to find! We made a staggering £137!
Spring 1
Our new topic is all about pirates!
We had a wonderful theme day! We dressed up as pirates, made shelters for a desert island and made pirate maps!
Today we enjoyed our role play area.
We also made our own pirate boats and tested them to see if they would float or sink.
Our topic this half term is Animal Antics. We are finding out about mini beasts and their habitats. We went on a mini beast hunt then made our own in the classroom.
In maths this half term we are looking at fractions. We are finding halves and quarters of shapes, objects and amounts.
Autumn 2
Our topic this half term has been The Complete Athlete. We have been keeping our bodies healthy. Here wwe are brushing our teeth.

What a brilliant day! An opportunity for children to discuss,explain and share their science projects with children from each group and parents. The Learning Ladybird’s had a special job for Barnaby Bear. They had to design and make a piece of clothing for one of the 4 climates ; hot, cold, snowy, rainy, that he was travelling to. I am sure Barnaby Bear will love them all!
The Great Fire of London.
The children really enjoyed our topic about The Great Fire of London. They learnt about events from the past, Samuel Pepys and what has happened since the Great Fire. Children were fascinated by the events that took place and decided to take their learning home! Here are some examples of some fantastic creative homework made by the children in The Learning Ladybirds!
Animal Antics.
The Learning Ladybirds have really enjoyed our ‘Animal Antics’ topic. They have had the opportunity to find their own Minibeasts in the wild; before choosing their favourite and creating a fact file about it.
The children then moved onto learning about larger animals and looked at the different ways that animals could be grouped. On Tuesday 10th January, we had a very special visitor come into class.
Can you name the animal and the group it belongs to?
Land Ahoy Homework.
Children in The Learning Ladybirds are really enjoying completing their creative pieces of homework related to ‘Land Ahoy!’ Here are a few pictures of the models that the children have created!
Land Ahoy! (WC: 07.11.2016)
The children are really enjoying their current topic of ‘Land Ahoy!’ So far the children have planned their own pirate journeys; labeling continents and oceans along the way. Here are some of the treasure maps that the children have also created. They include human and physical features!”
Roald Dahl : 23rd September 2016
The children loved our Roald Dahl day and dressing up as characters from his books. They did lots of activities throughout the day to support reading, had a scrumdiddlyumptious dinner and loved welcoming their parents into class at the end of the day.
