Forest Schools

This week we revised which leaves come from different trees.

We then used leaves and other signs of autumn to make a picture of a flower.

When making the flower we had to find similar shades of leaves and put these together.

We made frames from sticks too. We were very creative and worked together too.

Hopefully you will agree what wonderful pictures the children made!

Our Castle

The Friendly Dragon asked us to build a castle, so of course we had to oblige!

We built it from cardboard, painted it, made a portcullis from material and put flags on top!

To make our classroom more like Fairyland we have made Rapunzel pictures and learned how to plait.

We have also been sending letters to the Friendly Dragon after making old style paper in tea.

❖Minibeast Habitats❖

We were out in the school garden and over in the park looking at different habitats of minibeasts. We were looking at which minibeasts are found in the air, under stones, on bark and in the soil. We found a lot of minibeasts including bees, earwigs, woodlice centipedes, slugs, snails, moths and flies.

Miss Lamb also brought in for us a Bug hotel which her partner had made for us! We will be able to keep checking on this to see what minibeasts use it as a home.

Health Week Day 3

Today was busy, busy!

We made comments for our Friendship Tree – saying kind words about somebody we wouldn’t generally say something nice to.

Next we went over to the hall and Miss Dingwall showed us how to play Indoor Curling. We had a great time and some of us would have  played longer.

This was then followed by orienteering in the playground with Mrs Lynne. The children in pairs managed this very well and after initially finding it a little tricky, they had it mastered. Mrs Lynne kindly provided Hot Chocolate to keep us warm, as the snow was beginning to fall a little harder.

In the afternoon, after music practice, we played Whole School Dodgeball. Well done to Ardoch who won, but a big well done has to go to Alexander Bickerton who was standing alone in his team,

which seemed an eternity, avoiding all the balls.
