This week we have been learning about Diwali. The children have listened to the story of Rama and Sita, made clay candle holders and took part in a Rangoli colouring competition. All the children took part in tasting some festival food such as naan bread, poppadoms and mango chutney. The poppadoms went down a treat with the children!
Happy Diwali! 😊🎆
Class 1 have enjoyed their weekly visit to our school library.
The children had great fun hunting for pumpkins this morning. We managed to find them all and each received a sweet treat 😊
We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Jackson for organising this 👏
Today is World Mental Health Day, so in our crew sessions we discussed why it is important to talk about how we are feeling and what we can do to help ourselves feel good.
We decided to take our crew session outside as the sunshine and fresh air can help to us to feel happy. We listened to one another share how we were feeling this morning and then took part in some fun activities together. The children enjoyed collecting leaves and creating their own leaf rubbings using paper and wax crayons or using hole punches to cut out different shapes. What a lovely start to the day!
Today we have made bird feeders to put around our school grounds. We have been discussing the importance of taking care of the birds, especially at this time of year. Well done Class 1 👏 It was great exercise for our finger muscles too! 😊
We have had fun in maths today. We have been counting the hidden woodland creatures around the classroom. Great counting skills 😁🔢
Our new key text is ‘The Gruffalo’, so it was perfect having a visit to Squirrel Wood. We went on a Gruffalo treasure hunt…
We used our team building skills to build habitats for the animals in the Gruffalo…
We used clay to make some Gruffalo art…
We had fun around the fire pit. We ate popcorn and drank warm apple juice. We were amazing at following the fire pit rules…
The children behaved impeccably and we are very proud of them! A fun time was had by all! 😁🐿 xx
The children have loved picking the sunflower seeds from the head of the flower. It was great for our finger muscles! 😁 We are keeping the seeds and will plant them in the summer term 🌻☀️
The children have enjoyed listening to and acting out the story ‘Owl Babies’. We definitely have some budding actors in the making 🌟😊
Class 1 have been thinking about what crew is. They came up with some beautiful answers…
Crew is making someone a picture. Crew is pushing in the chairs so no one falls over. Crew is getting smart together. Crew is tidying up as a team. Crew is playing together and never leaving anyone alone. Crew is helping someone if they are sad. Crew is being kind and praising each other. Crew is being happy.
Here are some photos of us being Crew ❤
