Outdoor learning

What a marvellous day for our first outdoor session with Mrs Kelly. The sun shone all afternoon for us and we really enjoyed exploring the school grounds.

 

As well as exploring and talking lots about safety and risk assessing, we played some games to help us to think about place value using shells, rainbow sticks and cones for hundreds tens and units.

Here are some beautiful photographs of some hawthorn, holly, moss and daisies too. We can’t wait to discover more about nature in the coming weeks as we learn outside.

 

World Book Day

Today was World Book Day. We had a fantastic day celebrating our love of books. We joined a World Book Day Assembly with David Walliams, we made our own bookmarks, we listened to Harry Potter, we did some Harry Potter mindfulness colouring, we solved word searches, we designed and created our own comics, and we tried to guess which of our Senior Management Team were the Masked Readers of the stories we listened to! Some of us dressed up, too.

Space!

We have been learning about our Solar System this week. We learned that the sun is a star at the centre of our solar system. The 8 planets, including Earth, revolve around it. The moon revolves around Earth each 27.3 days. We learned about day and night. Here we are in pairs, pretending one of us is Earth and the other the moon. We learned that from Earth, we never see  the back of the moon, only the front!

Creative Time.

We have been working so hard this week, we definitely earned our Creative Time. At Creative Time we get to choose what to do – we can play a turn taking game with friends, we can draw, read, colour, build with Lego, do a puzzle, build a domino rally, create a marble run, create shapes with 3D straws – the list is endless!
