Rapunzel - witch traps!

We have been having lots of fun learning about the story of Rapunzel. Today we decided we wanted to free Rapunzel from her tower. We thought of ways we could help her and decided to make a witch trap! 

This afternoon we had a fantastic time building traps to catch the witch. We worked together and then took it in turns to test our traps.

Once we had caught the witch we had a go at asking her some questions. Can you remember why the witch locked Rapunzel in the tower?
                                                           






 " When the water goes onto the witch it will make the witch melt" - Dylan and Noah

"When you press this button it will help us to find the witch - this bit is a computer screen it can tell us where the witch is. " - Khaira and Aimee

"You throw out this bit that looks like a plane but hold onto the other end of the string. When it touches her it will electrocute the witch."  - Joe

"When the witch is walking past you have to pull the string and it will fall down on her and get her. You've got to hold it up - or you could use this stand to hold it if you don't want to be too near the witch. You can't let her get you." - Khalil

"It didn't work it was too heavy" - Angell

Chicks!

This morning in Reception we had a look at Year 1's chicks! 

Year 1 had 10 eggs. The eggs were in an incubator to keep them warm. The eggs all hatched and now there are 10 chicks.



Some of the chicks we were looking at were only 1 day old! We used our quiet voices so we didn't scare the baby chicks. 

We used our gentle hands to hold and stroke the chicks. How did the chicks feel when you touched them? Can you think of any good words to describe the chicks? 

We noticed that there was a light bulb in the chicks house - can you remember why the light bulb was there? 

Have a look at the YEAR 1 BLOG to hear more about these lovely chicks.
