Well we have settled into our temporary home here at Newport and are enjoying exploring all the spaces.

Monday:

Lots of fun exploring the gym hall area. We opted for the parachute and balls today, exploring different ways to incorporate both.

Next some of us planned out and made some items in the woodwork area. Using our organisational skills to plan, prepare and make our items. We used our problem solving skills to figure out whether we needed screws or nails.

“Look, I made a hammer with a torch on it. You can hammer things in the dark” TS

While some of us were making different objects with woodwork, the rest of us made models with Lego.
“My plane can fly high up with these bits!” MF

We had snack together today because we were celebrating a birthday too ! We hope you had a great birthday RD!

 

Tuesday:

There were not so many of us today, but we still made the most of our morning!
Again starting the day with some woodwork creations, followed by Lego, animation making with the IPads and outdoor play.

Some of us asked to go into the gym hall to play, where we had some music on so we could dance and some action songs. We even had some exercises which we followed. ( Once the grown ups figured out how to use the sound system!)

Wednesday:

Today we all made “planes” with lolly sticks. We talked a lot about what makes them fly higher or further. Next we changed the designs and finally had a little competition to see all our models fly!

Some of us explored the outdoor sandpit. There was lots of mathematical chat about volumes. Demonstrating our understanding of volume related vocabulary. “It is full up” “Wait! Look! Let’s use that one, it’s empty!”

Later in the day we went back to the gym hall where we did some more action songs, used the giant measuring tape to find out how long the hall was, before having more fun with the different sized balls. Mrs Moyes even showed us how to juggle with two balls at once ☺️

Thursday:

We completed the Daily Mile today! We did it altogether and ran around the school grounds, followed by a party snack!

Next we played Dodgeball in the hall and listened to some music. We even got to request some of our favourite songs 😄 before tidying up the playroom for home time – another busy day!

Friday:

We made it to the end of another busy holiday week in Newport.

Today some of us worked collaboratively, making different models with the Lego. Lots of turn taking, problem solving and sharing ideas.

After snack we had time in the gym hall, trying to get different sized balls through the hula hoop. We tried it up high, down low and every possible challenging way we could think of!

Lastly before home time, we had a trip down to the trim trail before our grown ups came to collect us. We are becoming much more confident climbing and balancing, and some of us are happy to explore different ways to move our bodies all the trim trail!

Happy Weekend Everyone,

We will see you next week!
