Weekly Update 23.06.23

Hello!
A shorter week for us in Lime Tree with the training day today but we have still packed a lot in!
As part of our DT project, the children have designed and made a seaside themed bunting flag using brightly coloured felt and fabric glue. Mrs Bellwood very kindly threaded them together with ribbon to create a whole class bunting. Some of our bunting will be on display at Guiseley Theatre as part of the ALPT Art Exhibition from Saturday 24th June to Saturday 1st July. If you do make a visit we hope our bunting will make you think of a sunny day by the sea.
In Science, we have starting to think about where our food comes from and how it gets from farm to fork. The children were able to identify that plants are grown for food and might be grown on farms, allotments, in gardens or on windowsills. Animals are reared - all animals need food and water to stay alive and a clean place to sleep. Farmers rear animals to supply food. Some food is caught - animals like fish are caught for food. Fishing usually takes place in the sea, rivers or lakes but fish can also be farmed.
In English we have been writing riddles. Our focus text 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley' includes lots of riddles about the animals that Stanley meets along the way. The children had to choose their own sea creature to write a riddle about. They then shared their riddle with a partner who had to guess what their sea creature was.
We are all very excited for the seaside trip to Filey next Wednesday 28th. Please make sure you have read the reminders letter that was sent home at the start of this week.
Have a lovely (long) weekend!
