We have been making the most of the sunshine and had a lovey afternoon playing outdoors on Wednesday last week. We love to explore the garden and there was lots of building, imaginary play and exploring with water.

“We were trying to make a track and we put water down the track. It didn’t work when we put rocks down it. There were gaps on it and we had to close them up.”

“We were playing Kings and Queens and some of us were the guards.”

“The blocks became our gold to carry to the Kings and Queens.”

“We were making a potion with lots and lots of plants and flowers and water and sand.”

“There was also lavender.”

“This is how we tried to get the water down the track.”

“The worm was so squiggly that it nearly jumped off my hand.”

“We have finished the potion.”

In PE on a Wednesday we have been learning about Striking and Fielding and on a Friday in the hall we have been having a go at some athletics. This week we played a fun game where we had to work as a team. Some of us were the ‘tidy uppers’ and some of us where the ‘messer uppers’.

We got the hurdles out and practised running and jumping over them. We tried to improve our technique as we jumped over them.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about the past. We have discussed what we mean by the past and as a class we were able to identify different things that have happened in the past. Some things happened millions of years ago and other things in our past happened more recently.

We are making links between the past and our lives today. So far we have explored what school was like in the past and toys that children played with in the past. We are able to make comparisons and we have noticed that some things from the past aren’t so different to our lives today.

We have also played some games children played in the past. We knew almost all of the games and it was lovely to have some time in the sunshine playing these.

What’s The Time Mr Wolf

Hopscotch

Marbles

Noughts and Crosses

Some of us brought something in from home related to the past. The item could have been personal to our family or simply a historic item. All of the items promoted lots of discussion and it was especially lovely to see photos and listen to stories about Grandparents, Great Grandparents and even Great, Great, Great Grandparents.
