How to make Caveman Cookies for a Hungry Caveman!

The children worked hard to write their own recipe books:
 'How to make Caveman cookies for a Hungry Cave Man!' - linked to instruction writing in Literacy. 

The end results were delicious!!
Many thanks to Ms Toyne and Mrs Wright for cooking with the children,
without their help, this wouldn't have been possible!

Creative Theme Work

Last Friday we began to make drawings in clay, inspired by the 'Lascaux cave paintings' discovered in France
by four boys and their little dog in 1940. We watched a virtual tour of the caves. The children were fascinated and kept asking were they real?!
They took great care with their drawings trying to replicate the ones they had seen. I think they did a great job!

Some children also painted onto paper covered in sand.
What a lovely variety of  ideas!

Investigating which materials are waterproof

In our class story,Glog the cave boy made a rain hat from leaves.
We have been investigating which other materials would make good rain hats.
