Who is your Friend?

As part of our recent Health and Wellbeing focus on friendship, we read the story “Fran’s Friend” and talked to the children about who their friends are and what shows them that they are a friend. We thought that we would share some of their comments.

Enid: Louie – we go in the story corner together.
Matthew: Granny – she plays with my toys.
Olivia H.: Emily’s my friend. She pretends to be me and I pretend to be Emily.
Bradley: my sister. Hayley plays with my toys with me.
Emily: my Lexie because she gives me her rabbit food. She’s nice and kind.
Joshua: Mum and Dad and my auntie. We go to the cinema and McDonald’s.
Ava: Safoora. I like her because we like drawing.
David: Peter, Mum and Dad. We play football.
Freddie: Olly and Mum. They share toys.
Eadie: my sister. She gives me her dolly.
Alexa: Lewis – he plays in the garden with me.
Wiktor: Mum. We go to the park.
Bethany: Conor because they have a dog called Bella and she’s nice. We play games and have parties.
Derry: Mum and Dad. We go swimming and we went to Blackpool.
Olivia B.: Imoen – she does lots of cool things.
Fraser: my friend is Vinnie because we both like Star Wars and he made me a Darth Vader.
Kobe: Mason is my friend – he plays with me.
Imoen: James – he reads a story.
Penny: Cali’s my friend. We play on the slide together.
Evan: Lewis is my friend. We play outside in the mud.
Annalise: Lily – we say funny jokes.
Kendall: Daddy.
Archie: Emily. We play Hide and Seek.
James: Halle. We play outside together in the mud kitchen.

Eadie’s Numbers

Based on our recent learning about numbers for National Maths Week, Eadie worked at home with her family to produce a wonderful poster showing all the places she had seen numbers in her community. Mrs. Alexander was very impressed with Eadie’s poster and was interested to hear her talk about the ‘winner’ and the ‘loser’ numbers from the tombola. Great work Eadie! We hope that your family was impressed with your special sticker from Mrs. Alexander.

Shimmering Shells

After hearing about the children decorating pebbles for our outdoor area, Leah’s Granny kindly gave us a box of shells to add to our display. As you can see, the children were enthusiastic to sponge various patterns on to their shells which they finished off with a dash of glitter. Thank you to Leah’s Granny for providing us with a fun activity which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Look out for our new shells in the garden any day soon.

Hecklegirth Fundraisers

We would like to remind you that Hecklegirth Fundraisers are holding their AGM on Monday 25th September at 6.00. All children in our school and Nursery benefit from the super efforts of this fundraising group so it would be great if Nursery parents could help to support them by popping along to their meeting where you can find out what they do and how to become involved as part of our community.

Shape Art

As part of our work for Maths Week, the children focussed their learning on shape and have experimented with printing using shapes in the art area. As you can see they have produced some bright, attractive pieces of artwork at the same time as developing their learning about maths.

First Fire

Last week some of the morning children enjoyed an outdoor fire for the first time. There were several very patient observers watching and waiting for the fire to take hold and, once it got going, they were not disappointed. It is amazing how calming and relaxing it can be simply watching the flames of a fire and the children certainly seemed to enjoy this experience to the extent that some were making an imaginary campfire the next day. Well done boys and girls for listening well and staying safe when we made our first fire. Hopefully we will have another one soon for the afternoon children.

Bug Hotel Pebbles

The pebbles that the children decorated so beautifully for our bug hotel area of the garden have now been put outdoors and we think that they look super. The children looked carefully at the area and decided for themselves where they thought the pebbles would look best. We think those bugs are very lucky to get such a beautifully decorated garden to play in. It would be lovely if you could take time to have a look at them with the children on your way home as they are rightly proud of their hard work.

Numbers and Shapes

Thank you to all those families who have taken part in the national Maths Week by bringing in examples of numbers and shapes from their environment. It is lovely to see the children enthusiastic about maths and sharing their learning with us. Here are more photos from this special week. Well done everyone for producing a great display.
