Class 1 and Class 2 outdoor PE

26th September 2021Gemma Tinker

We absolutely loved PE this week – Class 1 and Class 2 joined together and enjoyed different activities at several stations. Egg and spoon races, bean bag throwing, hula hooping, cheerleading, ball skills, jumping through hoops and sack racing. What an exciting morning together.

We have been very creative this week:

Lyla made instructions to help her friends to make people in the creative area.

We have also decorated our ‘Little boxes of me’ which we have taken home to fill with lots of photographs and other items that represent me. We can’t wait to share our boxes with our friends back in class.

Another busy week in Class 1

We have continued to get to know each other this week, we have had a great PE session in the hall. We have worked hard in Crew thinking about the ways we can Be Kind and helpful to each other. We have been talking about our own family and have drawn some beautiful pictures. We also enjoyed the late summer sunshine and have been improving our outdoor learning area.

This week we have been lucky to have visits from experts:

The inspirational Ray Matthews came to talk to us about his amazing achievements in running. He also launched his 80 – 80 – 80 challenge and we are looking forward to our sponsored walk next week to raise money for his charities.

We also had a visit from three wonderful volunteers at the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We asked lots of questions and found out all about the important work that they do. We are going to have a ‘bring your bike’ to school day later in the term to raise as much money as we can to support the invaluable work that everyone at the Yorkshire Air Ambulance do.

We have also been Creative Chameleons in Class 1 this week:

  • Rudy built a Rocket.
  • Crew Elmer prepared questions for the Air Ambulance.
  • The girls made a ‘clubhouse’
  • Myla made NumberBlocks and wrote labels for each one.

Busy vehicles:

We have been working collaboratively to design and then make a boat. We explored materials to see which ones would be best to use to help our boats to float. We had lots of fun in the water tray:

We have also been busy decorating out papier mache hot air balloons. They look wonderful floating in the air in our classroom:

We have been thinking hard about all of the vehicles that we have found out about throughout this expedition so far:

And now we are ready to think about which vehicle we would choose to go on our adventure!

    Learning about busy land vehicles in Class 1:

    We looked carefully at pictures of vehicles and used pencils to draw them.
    We then critiqued our first draft and acted upon kind and specific comments from our friends to help us complete our 2nd draft. We are very proud of our racing car drawings.

    Beautiful vehicle paintings

    The boys love to build a train track and play with our new trains.

    21st April 2021Emma Powell

    We have been busy making large vehicles to put in the different areas of our classroom. We have a jeep in our reading corner, cement mixer in our construction area and an aeroplane flying above our creative area. We have really enjoyed designing and making these.

    We have also been creative making our own vehicles using different resources and equipment.
