Wow - what a day we had during our forest school session! We started off our session by gathering the resources around the outdoor area to create a spooky structure (Halloween style). We had to work in groups to show our team-building skills and we had to use our imagination to come up with a creative design. Finally, we finished our session by sitting around the campfire fire - we drank delicious hot chocolate and tested out our singing skills as we sang some fun campfire songs. We thoroughly enjoyed our session and we can't wait to see what is in store for us in our next session!

Congratulations to the Year 6 children who took part in a 2-day Bikeability course - they all passed with flying colours. All children can now ride their bike safely using what they have learned. Well done Year 6!

Trick or Treat!

Welcome back everyone! We have enjoyed hearing about all the exciting things you have done during half term. We have had a spectacularly spooky first week back! We arrived into Nursery to find our home corner had been taken over by a witch, who had turned it into a 'Witches Kitchen.' She has been making potions and leaving us secret messages on ghost paper! We had to use special torches to read the message she had left us! We have also been decorating pumpkins, witches and monsters. We have used different shapes for the different body parts on our 'shape monsters,' looking at the properties and how to recognise the shapes we used. 'Whats in the Witches Kitchen', 'Room on the Broom' and 'Five Little Monsters,' have been our stories this week and we have been looking at rhyming Halloween songs and rhymes. Try singing some of these songs together at home! Happy Halloween!

To launch our ‘Sensational Seasons’ topic we explored the physical effects of autumn. We went on an autumn treasure hunt and found lots of wonderful natural items such as leaves,twigs and pinecones and used these natural items to make our own autumn art. We explored the colours of the leaves and mixed paint to make our own autumn colours then painted leaves to create an autumn tree for our classroom. We examined the texture of leaves and bark through wax rubbing which created a range of interesting patterns. We looked at foods which are harvested during autumn and designed our own pumpkins.

Stone age!

Date: 28th Oct 2019 @ 10:23pm

It was a great return to school, or should we say journey back in time, for our children. Our drivers for our non-core subjects this half-term are history, science and art. So, for our 'WOW' we combined the three to create our own costumes and to transform into Stone Age palaeontologists. The children have begun their next journey by digging for rocks and fossils! As well as a brief introduction into what we know as the beginning of man.

The One With the Volcanoes!

Date: 28th Oct 2019 @ 3:36pm

To link in with our unit on 'Volcanoes and Mountains', today we had to build and 'erupt' our own volcanoes. We were split up into groups where we had to use the resources (cardboard, plastic bottles, PVA glue, paint and strips of newspaper) to shape a volcano made from paper mache. Once we had built our volcanoes, we then headed outside where we used white vinegar, bicarbonate soda and red food colouring to 'erupt' them. We had a great morning during our WOW session and we can't wait to learn more about volcanoes and mountains.
