To follow on from this morning’s summer sing-a-long with the Singing Hands, the Snowdrops held their own beach party this afternoon.

We played some tropical beach sounds through the speakers and started our party off with some beach volleyball. 

We then played some limbo. We tried really hard not to hit the bar!

After that, we played palm tree skittles and used a real coconut as our ball. We enjoyed looking and feeling its rough shell.

After our beach games we played in the sand and water outside in the lovely warm sun. 

For our beach snack we had ice cream. We chose which flavour and toppings we wanted. Yum!

We finished our party with some dancing to Baby Shark!

We had lots of summer fun!

The Snowdrops have enjoyed taking part in POLO day.

This morning we were scientists and we were investigating whether different objects were able to float or sink when they were placed in water. We tried to guess what would happen and recorded our guesses and what actually happened, on our worksheet.

This afternoon, we were making some outdoor cuisine using recipe cards! With some help we used good looking skills to collect ingredients and then practised following instructions to make our dishes.

Lots of outdoor fun was had!

Now the sun is shining, the Snowdrops have been exploring what we need to do to keep safe when the sun is hot.  Everyone showed interest in looking at pictures, smelling sun cream and trying on sun hats and sunglasses.  We practised our Makaton signs and responded well to songs about the sun.  The Snowdrops also experienced fun activities involving the sunshine colour yellow – sprinkling and playing with yellow coloured rice, citrus scented playdough and yellow water beads.  Everyone showed interest in painting activities, creating a sun handprint picture and a finger printed pineapple.  It’s been a busy week in the Snowdrops!

There were lots of green fingers in the Snowdrops class as we carried out a ‘spring clean’ of our garden trough. We all enjoyed feeling the soil with our fingers and exploring the shapes of the gardening tools. We used the tools well to pull out all the weeds! We used good listening skills to follow instructions and excellent looking skills to spot the weeds to pull. We were very pleased and proud of our clear flower bed!

To mark Digital Technologies week, the Snowdrops would like to show how we enjoy using different technology to help us learn and develop new skills.

We can use the ipads and the promethean board to help us with numbers and literacy.

We use switches to help us make confident choices.

Eye Gaze technology helps us access learning, independence and develop our communication skills.
