This week, Year One designed their very own Super Veggie Superheroes! From lightning-fast carrots to broccoli defenders of the planet, the imagination on display was truly inspiring.
Each child created a unique veggie-themed superhero and after completing their masterpieces, the children took part in a gallery walk, proudly showcasing their artwork and admiring their classmates’ creations.
Today was no ordinary school day in Class Three – it was Superhero Training Day, and what an incredible day it was!
From the moment the children arrived, it was clear we were in for lots of fun. Dressed in their superhero finest, the class looked fabulous!
Our heroes faced a series of exciting and challenging missions designed to test their courage, creativity, and strength:
They put their brains to the test, solving tricky superhero-themed riddles and Paw Patrol codebreakers.
Next, they used their artistic superpowers to design their very own superhero badges and had so much fun joining in with our superhero song and dance.
Disaster struck when our class superhero, Walt, got stuck in a tree! But fear not – Class Three leapt into action with teamwork, problem-solving, and a whole lot of determination to bring him back to safety. Mission accomplished!
Physical Training – Finally, they completed their superhero training with some energetic physical challenges. Whether it was agility, strength, or speed – our heroes showed they had what it takes!
After all their hard work and heroic effort, each member of Class Three was proudly awarded their official Superhero Training Certificate. They truly earned their titles today!
Well done, Superheroes – you made us all proud.Â
This week Class Six have been thinking all things Supertato! From Supertato maths to WANTED! posters for Evil Pea, we have been all in on Supertato. We even created our very own super veggies!
On the 23rd of May, Nursery went on a very exciting Fieldwork visit to support their current learning expedition “Once Upon a Time”. The children undertook a Fairytale Trail, walking around our beautiful local area to find story like settings. We had the pleasure of finding long wavy meadows….
A magical fairy forest, with real fairies! We had to be very quiet to try and spot them, using only our tiptoes and whispering voices….
Over a wicked troll’s bridge….
Through more long, wavy meadows…
Down by the Riverbank to see if we could spot the Troll….
and finally on towards the park where we had a huge Teddy Bear’s picnic!
After the children had finished their delicious picnics, they had lots of fun mixing and playing on the park equipment, meeting new friends from either morning or afternoon nursery who they’d never met before. A beautiful transition opportunity for the year ahead. There were some beautiful drawings of fairytale characters on the children’s work boards and most of the children completed a fairytale object hunt which was lots of fun to spot natural objects that the Everywhere Bear had shown the children before in his postcards in their prior learning. What a beautiful day and visit this really was – great work Nursery!
Wearing red, white and blue the children in Year One joined in with today’s VE Day celebrations. After learning about and discussing the importance of VE Day we enjoyed fish and chips for lunch and created some fabulous WW2 spitfires.
This week Class Six have been working as artists and creating rocket and space art inspired by Peter Thorpe. We worked with the tricky medium of chalk on black paper to create some stunning artwork!
We think the children have outdone themselves and the art is incredible!
Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone lines and internet connection. This means we will not be able to answer the phones or pick up any voicemails so if we could ask that you report any absences via email on [email protected] or message Mrs Bradshaw on Class Dojo. Please do not inform teachers directly as these may not be picked up.
Our technicians are working hard to resolve this issue and we are hopeful a solution can be reached tomorrow. We will keep you updated.
Year One have loved the start of our dance unit this half term. So far we have been learning about some of the principles of dance and practising key skills such as balancing and travelling. We’ve had fun linking these actions together to create sequences and have worked with our partners using our 8 counts to hold our balances.
Science is about understanding and making sense of the world around us. It allows us to be creative and curious, as well as being able to answer questions that we may have. To celebrate science week Year One have been planning and carrying out an investigation to help us answer the question ‘How do flowers and other plants drink?’ We’ve made predictions and considered how we can make our tests fair. Today with the help of our grown ups we’ve worked together to set up our experiment.
We are excited to see what happens to our flowers over the next few days and to answer some of the questions we have been asking.
Which colour will we see first in our flowers?
Will the colours mix and make new colours in the flowers?
How long will it take for the flowers to change colour?
On Friday we celebrated World Book Day! Class 6 looked absolutely awesome in their book themed costumes.
We started the day by creating crew book murals where we all thought about our favourite books and how we can represent them.
We had a fabulous Alice In Wonderland themed day where we took a trip to the mad hatters tea party and spent the morning using our imaginations to create our very own wonderlands!
