Today we celebrated the Queen’s jubilee. We have been watching videos on YouTube and fun episodes of cartoons with the Queen in them.

Today we did lots of crafts. We decorated crowns. We were confident individuals choosing colours of crayons to colour in the crown. We had a jubilee snack with special plate and enjoyed our lunch on special paper plates too. We have been looking different places in London. We matched the images and some confidently matched the words to the pictures. We collected part of a flag and were able to put the pieces together to create the whole flag picture. In the afternoon we decorated biscuits using icing and red, white and blue sprinkles and some edible crowns.


We hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend.

This week has been another busy week in the Bluebells. We have been looking at the letter “b” we made butterflies yesterday afternoon. They were confident individuals and used crayons and pencils to made marks and decorate the butterfly wings. Staff made different shapes on one side and some pupils were able to copy the shapes on the other side.

Science week. We have been participating in lots of experiments in the classroom. One experiment the pupils enjoyed was the rain cloud in a jar.  All pupils can fill a jar with water then we carefully added the shaving foam to the top to look like clouds. Some pupils  used a dropper to add blue food colouring to represent the rain. We all watched at the rain (food colouring) went through the cloud and then dropped through the water in the jar like the rain falling from the clouds in the sky.

Today we used cotton buds to make a dinosaur skeleton picture. The pupils were confident individuals using the glue to stick the dinosaur outline on to the page. They then chose some different sized cotton buds to make the bones inside the outline. They were successful learners and did this verbal support from staff and each one looks very different and effective.

Today we pretended we were palaeontologists. We were digging in the rock to see if we could find any dinosaur bones. The pupils were confident individuals at holding the tools and using them to dig around the bones to reveal the dinosaur. It was lots of fun and a little messy.

Today we had lots of fun with lots of fine motor activity.

We were confident individuals holding each of the items we needed to. We had to collect the correct coloured pegs and push them into the board to make the picture on the box.  We pinched pipe cleaners and poked them through to give the octopus legs. We used special tweezers to pick up the bananas and feed them to the monkey.
