Remembrance Day in EYFS

11th November 2021Gemma Tinker

In EYFS today we have been learning about Remembrance Day, we have been thinking about the brave soldiers who protect our country to keep us all safe. We have printed poppies, made edible poppy biscuits and delivered them as a random act of kindness to all of the grown ups in school who help keep us safe everyday. We also surprised the staff at the Junior School with a biscuit too! We have coloured poppies, drawn our own poppies and even attempted to write the sounds we hear in words.

Our first week back…

4th November 2021Gemma Tinker

What a busy week we have had in Class 1. We loved the Halloween disco, and dressed in our most spooky outfits! We have enjoyed building and creating and have been learning all about triangles. We have been lost in books and have spent lots of time sorting, matching and counting in our maths area. We wonder what next week will bring…

Little Artists in the making…..

13th October 2021Emma Powell

We looked at the large tree in our garden area. We noticed that the leaves are still green and are all still on the tree. We wonder what it will look like when we come back to school after the half term break?

We created pictures which were inspired by the artist Guiseppe Archimboldo:

We looked carefully at the work by Archimboldo and created our own versions:

We are going to sketch our work next…..we look forward to seeing what they look like when they are complete.

We have looked closely at the artwork and have used crayons to draw self portraits of ourselves in the style of Picasso.

Some of us copied Picasso’s artwork

Children loved exploring our outdoor area and brought us lots of things that show 1.

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

10th September 2021Gemma Tinker

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.
