Out of this world!

You are going to be blown awayblast off by the outstanding learning that is happening in the Rainbow Room at the moment with our space theme!

Just look at the incredible labels that some of the children wrote themselves!

We even tried writing without gravity by writing underneath the table instead of on top to see how it feels to write in space .

Space writing!
Space writing!

We are so proud of this early writing! But the amazing learning doesn’t stop there!

Wait until you see our of solar system song.

Grace told us that “Earth is the planet with water” showing us that she understands that the others have no liquid water! What great investigating and sharing of learning!

But it’s better to hear about learning directly from Jack, Orla, Skye, and Zach!

Just click on the coloured links!

Wow! I think you will agree these children are out of this world!

thumbs up moon

If you’d like to extend this space learning further why not have a look at CBeebies for some fun games and activities.

The Stargazing episodes are full of brilliant information!

Alternatively you could follow Tim Peake on the space station on twitter.

Or watch some videos made on the space station by Chris Hadfield or Tim Peake – like how they use the toilet in space!

You could also wave to Tim as he crosses our sky in the ISS – check out the tracker to see when he’ll pass.

Happy Learning! rocket man

Hello world!

This is our first ever blog post – eek! Please be gentle!

Our aim is to share the wealth of learning across our provision be it in the Drop-in with Liz, or one of our community classes, the Blossom Room, the Sunshine Room, the  Rainbow Room or even sometimes just the staff!

We are hoping to have a big Media Launch in the future (watch this space for details!) to celebrate the new media parental partnership. We’ll be showing off our wee clever clogs through twitter and these blogs, in order to make it easy for families to help children reflect on, share and develop their learning.

Here is a wee sneak peek at some of the stuff that we have been getting up to over the last wee while.

So you can see we’ve been very busy learning!

Stay tuned for another blog with more detail about our space theme!
