This week in class 2 we had a surprise guest come in who left behind some muddy paw prints, orange and black fur, and a letter. The letter told us that the guest was a stripy, hungry animal and they he would come to school on Friday for a tea party. It was a tiger! We made lots of tiger art, made invitations and planned what food we wanted to have at the party. On Friday, we played lots of tiger themed games and made tiger striped biscuits. Then the tiger came in! It was very exciting and we had lots of yummy tea party food.

In maths we practiced our counting using different food. We counted numbers, put them in order and practiced writing them. In science we looked at which baby animals match which mammy animals. We also did food experiments earlier in the week, practicing our instruction following. Some of us made rain with whipped cream, water and food colouring. Some made volcanoes with lemons, sodium bicarbonate and food colouring and some of us more ice melt with salt.

Well done for another lovely week, everybody! Next week we will continue to look at food and drink as it is our new topic. We will also complete more ‘Tiger who came to tea’ activities.
