Problem solving in forest school
This afternoon Anna read us a story from Winnie The Pooh -
Eeyore needed a new house and Cross Fell was given the task to build him one!
The children showed wonderful creativity, problem solving by working together and showing fantastic teamwork!
Super job Cross Fell
Race to read
Launching today race to read! We will collect all reading records today to award any dojos from Christmas then start the challenge.
Each Monday we will collect diaries and move the cars along the track with 7 moves possible a week.
We will post a picture each week to show progress! Good luck…
We are illustrators!
Just before Christmas we each drew a monster to be included in the young writers book ‘Monster Mayhem’. We have received a certificate to mark this achievement and all children will bring a letter home tonight to give permission for their artwork to be published. Well done Cross Fell!

Wow, we can alter photographs!
Children independently changed their photograph to black and white.
We discussed that images that we see in different places can be altered as well.

Today we visited the book bus and each got a book to take back to share in class, we absolutely love it when they visit us and get so excited to see which new books we can enjoy.
Cross Fell computing- digital photography
Computing last week and Cross Fell continued with digital photography. We looked at framing and where to place the thing we want to take a photo of.
Challenged to take a poorly framed photo and then a well framed photo, the children took some fantastic photographs.
