Today in History, we learnt about the life of Muhammad Ali. We recreated a timeline using flashcards and discussed the key events of his life in our groups. We then used the information on the flashcards to write the key events on the timeline.
Today, we sculpted birds using plasticine. We used techniques such as rolling and pinching to create the teardrop shape for the body of the bird. We also sculpted the head and added further details such as the wings and beaks etc.
This morning, we noticed some cracks in the eggs! During the afternoon, the chicks began to tap the eggshell with their beaks to make tiny holes inside the shell!
Just before it was time to go home, the first chick pushed its way out of the egg! It was such a wonderful sight to see, Alhamdulillah!
By the end of the week, the rest of the chicks had hatched. They had become dry and fluffy and were transferred from the incubator to a brooder box were they could walk around and feed on chick crumb and drink water. We went in small groups to observe them and spoke about the importance of using gentle hands to hold and stroke them.
We all had a chance to hold the chicks! We knew to be gentle and stroke them gently. It was a memorable experience, Alhamdulillah! They felt soft and fluffy. We could see that they had become bigger and were able to stretch out their wings. We learnt the importance of washing our hands after we have been handling them.

In Art, we explored working with plasticine to make sculptures.
Fig Tree Class have been learning about seeds and plants in Science.
We know that seeds can grow into fruits, vegetables and flowers. Seeds come in all different shapes and sizes.
We take care of our class plants by taking turns watering them every week. Mashâ'Allâh! Look how much they've grown!
We have been working really hard, so we thought to end this term with a party! Thank you to our parents for sending us delicious snacks! We enjoyed eating them! 😊
We were rewarded with a Pizza Party for raising the most money as a class for charity. Alhamdulillâh for the yummy food!
In D.T today, we prepared smoothies by following a recipe.
In Science, we made y-phones using plastic cups and string to explore sounds.
In fig tree we learnt how to make a slider mechanism in a product. We then created our own moving picture for the story 'The Naughty Bus'. We followed instructions to make our sliders. We had lots of fun creating our moving story pages!
