The Snowdrops showed lots of interest in exploring soil textures and potato seeds. Everyone took turns to help fill our large potato growing bag with soil – it took a lot of soil! We used our fingers to push the potato seeds down into the soil and then made sure they were all hidden and covered. The Snowdrops had fun using a watering can to make sure the potato seeds had some water to start to help them to grow. We have put our potato bags out in the playground and will watch them grow as they get plenty of sun and water.
Last week the Beech class made these fabulous Roman vases, inspired by their class topic. The pupils used various textures to create a lovely sensory piece of art.
Super successful learners. Well done everyone!

Today we celebrated Red Nose Day 2021 . We made our own funny faces with a red nose of course, and decorated red nose biscuits. Some of us enjoyed looking at and feeling items in a ‘red’ sensory tray.
It’s been a wonderful week in the Sungazers and a pleasure to have so many of our friends back together. This week we have focused on Health and Wellbeing, making sure the children feel safe and secure back at school. We have encouraged them to be ‘Confident Individuals’ by promoting self-confidence and coping skills at this time.
Some of the Health and Wellbeing tasks have included;
Outdoor waterplay,
Making friendship bracelets,
Making kindness cards,
Making happy and sad props,
Classroom music therapy session,
Participation in our daily mile challenge.

The Moonbeams have had a very successful and fun day raising awareness for Comic Relief. The children listened to a story about how the Charity helps a boy their age. They then made had some red jelly and dug for red noses in it and drew pictures of themselves with red noses on their faces. Take a look at our fun filled day!
The Beech class have had a busy week learning all about Hercules and what made him a superhero. We focused on Ancient Greece – making Thaumatropes, recognising Roman Numerals & tasting some traditional Greek foods.
We had lots of fun in the Beech class today for Red Nose Day. We had a class quiz, a Red Nose ‘Tattie & Spoon’ race outside, and some fun games.
A great week in the Beech class for all! Have a lovely weekend everyone
