We have been really lucky to have an owl expert visit our school. The children were able to find out lots of information about owls and other animals. They were really excited to get to see the creatures close up! What a wonderful experience for our Foundation Stage children!
Our Class 2 Reception children had a wonderful time watching and taking part in activities with the amazing Mr Dan! What a lovely way to round up all the great Crew activities that our children have been taking part in.
Today in Class 2 we enjoyed sharing lots of stories together to take part in National Read a Book Day. I chose Pass the Jam Jim by Kay Umansky and Mrs Lowe read Sometimes I Feel Sunny by Gillian Sheilds. We share stories, rhymes and non fiction books in our classroom every day, but today it felt extra fun knowing there were lots of people all over the country making an extra effort to enjoy reading today. I wonder what books you enjoy reading? 📔🙂
The children in Reception had great fun taking part in our sports day this morning. We would like to say a huge well done to all of them. They showed amazing support for one another and behaved impeccably. We are very proud of them all!
This week the children in EYFS were presented with the final product from their last expedition of this year ‘We’re on the Move: Would you travel with wheels, wings or other things?’ The jigsaw is a photograph of the children taking part in one of their hook week activities exploring the vintage London bus. Children now have a lasting legacy to help them remember their experiences over the last term and we love these photographs of them completing them at home.
In Class 2 we started the day with some Zumba moves. It was so much fun!
This week in reception we have been reading ‘Whatever Next’. In the story Baby Bear makes a rocket and takes off to the moon. In our crews we decided to build our own rockets using various materials. The children demonstrated great team work skills and had some amazing ideas…
They worked so hard we decided to reward their efforts with a biscuit in the sunshine 🌞 Great work reception 👏 👍 😀
This week in our expedition we have been exploring transport that works in water. We read nonfiction books that provided more information about different types of boats and how these have changed over time.
The children then used their creative design skills to make boats out of bottle tops and other materials. The challenge was to make their boat float and investigate how to make it move across the water. There was brilliant collaboration between the children and many exciting boat races taking place!
We celebrated some of our wonderful children’s achievements in our community meeting this morning. We have shown kindness to others, worked hard in phonics and have been challenging ourselves. Noah enjoyed sharing his football medal. 👏
The children are amazing us with their efforts in writing and have written some imaginative stories. We have also enjoyed lots of outdoor learning in the beautiful sun shine this week.🌞 Thank you for all your hard work and for making us smile xx
We’ve had an amazing visit today. Holly came to talk to the children about the Yorkshire Air Ambulance service. We learned all about where the helicopters live, how fast they travel and the places they might go to.
Isla shared the incredible news about her mum, who recently ran the London marathon and raised £1000 for this amazing charity 👏
A big thanks to all those who have kindly donated to the charity’s clothes bank. It costs £19,000 each day to keep this amazing crew going so every little helps.
Back in the classroom the children have enjoyed writing about what they have learned from our expert visitor…
