Ducklings Healthy Living Week

We have been very active this week, running or walking a mile around the school field each day, completing assault courses, skipping, balancing, throwing and catching, dancing to Boogie Beebies and trying out some yoga. We have also completed our last unit on road safety and learnt how to cross the road safely, with an adult. Inside we have been making healthy fruit and vegetable kebabs and designing our own healthy packed lunches and meals. We have also set up an investigation to find out which drinks will be good or bad for our teeth. We have put some white eggs in different drinks such as cola, water, milk, orange juice and blackcurrant squash. The children guessed that cola would be bad for our teeth, but were astonished to see how much reduced sugar squash stained and changed the egg!

Unfortunately it was a little wet to have our picnic on the field, so we had our healthy packed lunches in the hall instead. They were very yummy! We had a healthy bottle of water, carrot sticks, a vegetarian sausage roll, an apple, a sandwich and a wrap. We were lucky to have a biscuit treat too!

Stone Age Tools made by Owls

For our history lesson we became stone age humans. We had to imagine that we were back in time-back to Stone Age! As stone age humans we made tools. As a class we went outside to gather different materials that stone age humans would use. We worked together and created our tools with stones, sticks, grass and other materials found outside. Axes, hammers, bow and arrows were some of the tools created. Which was your favourite tool? Why is this your favourite tool? Why did you choose to make that tool? Which material was the best to use for your tool? Would you rather live in the Stone Age or the human world we live in now?
