Celebrating a year filled with stars!

In our final community meeting all the children in class 1 and 2 were announced as our stars! We have had the most incredible year watching them grow and flourish. We know they will continue to shine bright in year one! Well done to each and everyone one of you, you should all be very proud of your achievements this year!

Once upon a time Class 1 went to the woods…

Last week the children in class 1 went to Austerfield Study Centre, it was the perfect way to end our final expedition, titled ‘Once Upon a Time’. The children were very excited on the coach!

Once we arrived we made our very own fairies and took them into the woods. We made little fairy houses and the children worked creatively! The children enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’ and we even got to reenact it ourselves in the woods!

We all enjoyed our lunch…

We had some hot and tired faces on the way home but we were all smiling after such a lovely day!

The children represented Norton Infant School beautifully during our visit, and we were extremely proud of how well they listened and worked collaboratively on all the tasks. What a lovely way to end our year 🙂

EYFS Community Meeting

Our postcard winners this week…Some amazing examples of being kind, working hard and getting smart.

Well done to everybody – you are all amazing.

Marvellous Mathematicians in Class 1!

I have been truly blown away by the mathematical skills the children are using in our counting collections sessions. They are not only recording using pictures but have started to use symbols and numerals to represent the quantity of objects. Take a look at them in action and the amazing recordings they are producing …

Story Telling in Crew

The children enjoyed creating our very own stories in crew. We let our imaginations guide the way and came up with some exciting stories. Once our stories were finished, Crew Chadwick and Crew Inman shared stories with one another. It was a great way to start the day…

What would you say to the wolf?

This week the children have considered the mistakes that were made in the story of ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’. We thought carefully about what we would say to the wolf in the story. We took turns to be the wolf and the children came to the front to speak to the wolf. The children showed sensitivity, acceptance and kindness in their words.

The children have written down the kind words that they would say and have produced some fantastic sentences…

Well done Class 1 🙂

Once upon a time there was a girl called Little Red Riding Hood…

This week Class 1 have enjoyed listening to the ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’. We kick started our week by acting out the story in our story circle. The children put on some impressive character voices!

In crew, we played a listening game called. ‘In the basket I would put…’ The children had to think of something they would put in the basket to take to Grandma’s house. We then faced the challenge of having to remember what everyone had said. The children then drew all the things they could remember and some children even used their segmenting fingers to spell out words. They did a great job!

We have also created an anchor chart of words that described the Big Bad Wolf. The children wrote some super sentences…
