We left our classroom this morning and used our boarding passes to travel to Paddington Station. We spent the morning exploring London landmarks that we had found on our map or read about in our Paddington books.
Super exploring class five xx
Nursery have had a wonderful time over the past week celebrating Easter. We began the week with a puppet show telling the traditional easter story of Jesus. The children listened carefully and were encouraged to ask questions after the show or explain their feelings or opinions about the story. Some of which were; “I think it’s sad because Jesus died” and “It was mean, because they made him carry that cross up the big hill”.
During their free play we captured some of the children creating their own puppet shows about Jesus, showing they were embedding their learning in their play.
The children baked and decorated their own easter themed biscuits, using flour, sugar, butter and an egg. They carefully took turns to weigh out ingredients with support and followed instructions to mix, beat, roll and cut out their dough. The children each chose their own easter time shape cutter and colour icing along with decorations to make their biscuits extra yummy!
We also had an egg-stra special visit from the Easter Bunny himself, who had heard about how hard we have been working and how kind we have all been, so decided to bring some of our treats early! He brought us an Easter Egg and we all had cuddles or high fives! There were some very excited children and grown ups….
At home we have been working hard and collaboratively with our parents to design and create a decorated boiled egg. Some entries were a single egg whilst others were a whole scene of egg themed characters. They were all absolutely amazing, so much effort and time had been spent working together. The winners of our EYFS competition in Nursery were chosen by the Reception children, who judged and voted for all of the entries (an extremely tough job). The winners were Willow from Am Nursery for her egg filled bonnet and Jenny from Pm Nursery for her Leonardo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Well done girls! However a huge thank you and well done to everyone, as all of the entries were outstanding, such beautiful work and the children were so proud. Here they are…
We finished our week with lots of fun in the sunshine including an Easter Egg Hunt, the children had lots of fun.
We have had one of our first big clues to help us work out what our new expedition might be about!
We spent the afternoon exploring how to make paper aeroplanes and then testing them in the sunshine
We have been busy learning about 1/2 in maths and decided the best way to find out about a whole one and making two equal parts was to make some delicious marmalade sandwiches … just like Paddington Bear! Who knew maths could be delicious?!
These children blew me away today! Not only did they read their new text beautifully but they managed to read all their words including the tricky words to play our game!
Keep it up – Mrs Parsons xx
We had a great time today sharing our brilliant Easter egg designs. We even got to judge class 6’s eggs and pick a winner!
Well done to all of the children (and grown ups!) who joined in ⭐️
We have started thinking about our new expedition as part of our hook week. We solved the clues to find out that our ‘person’ we are going to be learning about first is … Paddington Bear! We read a great story called Paddington’s Easter Egg Hunt. We then spent time this afternoon sketching Paddington and using watercolour paints to complete our art work! We can’t wait to share our finished pieces!
Class Five are channeling their inner rock star and pop star this morning!
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
Super work Key Stage One
