Daily Mile

This week we started participating in the daily mile along with the rest of the school.

The aim of The Daily Mile is simple – we want to get children fit for life and fit for learning by encouraging them to run for 15 minutes every day in their schools or nurseries. Former headteacher Elaine Wyllie founded The Daily Mile to tackle the lack of fitness displayed by the children in her school.

Astronaut Ice Cream

Emma asked if we could get Astronaut food as her big brother had it when he was in Nursery.

As part of our space topic  we ate Astronaut Ice cream, Its real Neapolitan ice cream specially freeze dried to get rid of the water and make it lighter to transport into space.

“it tastes like real ice cream”

“I like the Strawberry best”

 

Space Topic

We have had a very busy start to the term focusing on space.  We have been finding out facts about different planets and answering children’s questions.

“Which planet is hottest?”  “Venus, cos its near the Sun”

We have been practising some space songs and reading Space stories from the library.
