Started our morning with SumDog – we are making some great progress in our maths with these games.
I’m sending a copy of the login details tonight because some of the children are wanting to play at home but have misplaced their login details – any problems, just let me know.

We have been busy this afternoon! Lots of different length lines and straws appeared around our classroom so we used our skills to measure how long they were, then we checked the accuracy of our measuring by checking each others.
Awesome work class five,
Mrs Parsons xx
Class Five have been thinking and researching to try and sort the animals into the right categories.
Great job everyone,

This week we are listening to music from Elton John – enjoy!
Last week Nursery children celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year. They watched a video about the celebration and learned about the importance of various symbols within Chinese culture, such as the colour red, fireworks and the animals that represent each year within the Chinese zodiac calendar. They also learned about traditions within the culture that are carried out in preparation for the celebration.
The children experienced some real Chinese decorations and artefacts gifted to us by one of our community members, who spoke about them proudly in Crew. All of the children listened carefully and were very interested to look at the materials.
All Nursery Children then explored Chinese New Year further within provision. They were Go for it Gorillas using fine motor skills to manipulate chopsticks to pick up woollen “Noodles”. Some created a Year of the Rabbit, bouncing rabbit, others painted beautiful pictures of Dragons and Chinese symbols used to represent numbers. We sculpted dragons and noodles using play dough and experimented with traditional Chinese dress in the role play area. We even tried Prawn Crackers with Sweet and Sour sauce too at snack time. I think everyone had lots of fun and brought themselves lots of luck for the Chinese New Year.
This week the children across EYFS have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have enjoyed writing Chinese symbols, tasting prawn crackers, using chopsticks and dragon dancing in PE 🐉🥢🥡
This morning, we started our crew with some dancing and singing:)We loved a skeleton dance and we named the parts of our body.Then we created a colourful body artwork and used some words to describe how we are feeling today.
A huge thank you to Lewis’ dad who came in and performed for us. The children absolutely loved the electric guitar! 🎸 I think we have some future rockstars in year one and two!
