Cross Fell's Learning

Computing

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.

Forest School Friday! Today Anna talked to us about campfire safety in our session before we toasted marshmallows. We got to eat them with biscuits. We also got to meet our two new resident chickens!

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.

Today Cross Fell took part in some activities to mark remembrance day

We had a really super afternoon learning all about seasonal changes and painted our own seasonal trees. Great work everyone!

Forest School today was about Remembrance Day and bonfire night. We talked with Anna about the red and purple poppies and what they meant and some children chose to make their own out of wood slices or clay. We did a poppy themed treasure hunt but the best part was getting to make a chocolate…
