Thank you Dr Teanby-Clark

Dr Teanby-Clark called to talk to us about being a doctor. We asked lots of questions and found out new information. Lots of us want to be doctors when we grow up now. We’ve had a great afternoon in Reception.

 

Design Teams Assemble!

We have been very busy working in teams to design and make a memory box for Beegu. Look at the concentration…

We are designers.

We have been busy in class five this week – critiquing, designing and making our own memory boxes for Beegu to remind her of her time in Norton.

We have been busy in Class 6…

We are designers…

We have been cutting out nets and making small scale boxes. We critiqued some existing boxes too 🙂 We are getting ready to make our final product! How exciting!

We are geographers…

We have been using aerial photographs to spot human and geographical features.

 

Learning about numbers

In Nursery we are really enjoying learning about numbers. We have been focusing on numbers 2 and 3. Some children have had a go at writing numerals independently. Well done!

Mark Making in Nursery

Our Nursery children have been really busy mark making. They have been drawing horizontal and vertical lines to help them with their future letter writing.

Dressing up day in Nursery

Our Nursery children loved dressing up and having a party to celebrate completing their first half term in Nursery. A big well done to everyone!

 

Poetry, tarsia puzzles and plenty of smiles…

The children took turns to read their Wonderful World poems aloud to the class. They all did an amazing job and I couldn’t be prouder 😀

Take a look at some of the finished poems…

We had to show resilience and determination in maths this week. We worked in pairs to complete tarsia puzzles. It made our brains go ouch! They collaborated so well together 😀

 

Have a fabulous half term break everyone,

Mrs Chadwick xx

How do I work and what makes me healthy?

We have had a very busy half term in Class 1 getting to know each other and starting our first expedition of the year:

As part of our hook week we made a giant ‘Guess Who’ board.  We had lots of fun looking at photographs of ourselves as babies and discussing how we have changed now we are 4 and 5 years old:

 

We have also been looking at the outside of our bodies and naming our body parts.  We looked closely at the colour of our skin, hair and eyes to paint a self-portrait:

 

We have then been learning about what is inside our body and what makes our body work:

 

We look forward to learning lots more about our body after half term.
