We used everything except tents to build shelters. We worked together as teams and used our TWMTDW skills.
We went on our camping trip. It was so much fun and tiring.
We were looking after babies for a whole day! Everytime they cried (which was a lot!) someone had to stop what they were doing and change them or find out what they needed, They even cried during number square!
We were learning about what a baby needs after it is born. We learned how to put a nappy on. We learned it needs milk. You have to hold their head because it’s floppy.
We used den building materials and problem solving to construct a shelter to keep us safe from the sun. We used our TWMTDW skills to be successful! Again!
We have been practising working together as a team in preparation for our Big Day Hike on Thursday 19th June. We all managed to pitch and strike our tents (although the “easy” pop up tents were trickier than they looked!)
We have also planned our route and will think about how to travel safely before we go.
If you are able to volunteer as a helper for the day, we would very much appreciate it, as we are still short of helpers and the trip will not be able to go ahead without your support.
Sports day was good. Here are some photos of us doing Rugby, Egg and Spoon, Football, Space Hoppers and Under-Over Race.
We were learning lots of songs as usual in Music this week. We worked together to keep the steady beat going and sang the tricky melody at the same time…
… and we had fun trying this clapping song with our partners!
This week we included disasters in our stories. It was a great opportunity to use contractions. We played games, and talked to each other about them before selecting which ones would be great for our stories.
We were working on apparatus and practiced our rolling, jumping and balances. In super slo-mo!
We are learning forward rolls this week. We are also doing seal rolls, teddy bear rolls and working with a partner well.
One of our spelling groups are learning about suffixes and the tricky spelling rules for adding -able to the ends of words.
We used our TWMTDW skills to decide what are the most and least important items to take on a camping trip.
Tony is back! We tried a new way to plan our stories. We tried to include a BIG PROBLEM in our stories and a BIG SOLUTION! We looked at how other authors do this and we used our storytelling skills to improvise some stories before we wrote our own.
Our show Spring Chicken the Musical happened on Thursday afternoon after weeks of preparation and hard work.
From rapping bunnies to solo singers; foxy grannies to flocking sheep, P4B did an outstanding job of bringing the characters to life.
Congratulations to all involved and an extra special thanks to everyone at home for supporting with lines, songs and costumes.
