Kyla’s Super Work

We are delighted to share some super work that Kyla has been doing at home with her family. As you can see, she has produced some fantastic writing with drawings to illustrate her work and has also sent us her oil pastel of a rainbow toucan. Kyla’s brother has been learning about the rainforest and he wanted to draw a toucan so she joined in.
Well done for your super work Kyla! We are very impressed. Thank you so much for sending us it. Kyla’s family say that she is missing everyone just as we are missing all the children but it is great to see the super activities that you are doing at home.

Magic Science

Here is a little group of super scientists carrying out an experiment last term. With red paint in one beaker and green in the other, they put a length of kitchen roll between them to see what would happen. The children showed great perseverance and concentration to observe the paint diffusing up the paper and eventually they saw a colour change when the colours met at the top.
As you can imagine, this was like magic to the children and they simply had to try it again with different colours to compare what would happen. What super scientists using prediction and showing good observational skills to develop their learning.

Incey Wincey Spider

Mrs. Irving and her son have kindly recorded “Incey Wincey Spider” for us all. We hope that everyone can see the video and that you enjoy singing along with them. We are very lucky to have our own little band and hope that it helps you learn the “Rhyme of the Week”.

It’s Story Time

After recently posting a video of “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” read by the author, we would now like to share a video of author David McKee reading his story of “Elmer”. We hope that you enjoy it.

Rhyme Of The Week

For “Rhyme of the Week” this week we suggest that you focus on “Incey Wincey Spider”. Click on the link below to remind yourselves of it and try to show your family the actions to go along with it.

You could make your own spider at home – do a drawing or use things like junk packaging or wool to create your own little (or big) spider. I wonder how many legs you will need to add to your spider?

Inventive Creations

Mr. Palmer would like to send a message about the bike art competition:

“A big well done to Seth, Fern and Freya for taking part in the Big Pedal Bike Art Competition.

I enjoyed looking at your wonderful and inventive creations.

Mr Palmer”

Science Is Cool

Here are some cool scientists trying out an experiment at home. This looks like great fun! Apologies to our little scientists that your video ends up on the side. We can’t seem to change this but this think that everyone will enjoy seeing your super science.

What Is Your Favourite Time Of Day?

As our “Rhyme of the Week” is Hickory Dickory Dock, we would like to share some photos from last term of the children making clocks. Inspired by our play tray of this rhyme, the children showed an interest in making clocks and they talked about what happens at different times of day and what is their favourite time.

Teddie likes 10 o’clock because “it’s snack time”.
Sophia-Rose chose 8 o’clock because she “likes bedtime”.
Berrie said that she likes 2 o’clock because “it’s fun”.
Layla likes 7 o’clock because “it’s time to get up”.
Jessica chose 1 o’clock because “it’s dinner time”.
Tom chose 3 o’clock because “that’s the time he gets to see his Mum”.
Kaius likes 10 o’clock because “it’s snack time”.

I wonder what time of day the children would say is their favourite at home? They could draw a picture of what they do at their favourite time. Why not go on clock hunt? I wonder how many clocks you have in your house? You could talk about why we need clocks.
I wonder if any of you can recognise your work here? If you click on the photos you should be able to see the artist’s name.

Isaac’s Tadpoles

In a post yesterday it was mentioned that one of our families plans to care for tadpoles in the next few weeks. You may be interested to see this bowl of tadpoles which Isaac W is caring for as part of his little tadpole project at home. We hope that you send us a photo of their development in the future so that we can all see how they are progressing.
