New Term

Leave a comment

The children arrived back at school today and were delighted with a bit of Halloween fun in and around the classroom.

 

Many of the children loved the dressing up and Witch’s kitchen area.

 

During art they followed instructions well and made little pumpkin collages.

 

It was such a nice morning that the class went out and did a scavenger hunt for spooky images hidden around the school grounds.

In the afternoon they listened to a story and all took part in Drawing Club.

In between times there was practical maths lessons and reading activities so a very busy first day back.

Go Furt Fridays

The children get a focused loose parts and outdoor play session on Friday mornings. The water trays with pipes, half pipes, containers and connecting parts are always popular. The skills the children demonstrate here are fantastic.

They also learn how to climb and play safely in the trees together.

Imaginative play outdoors creates so many opportunities for developing social skills. it is particularly important for developing and establishing new friendships amongst the children.
