Pupil of the week
Thursday 16th September
What a busy day in nursery! In the messy room some children were making their own clocks using the junk materials, there is still interest in printing numbers. There was lots of water play and interest in the numbers on the side of the jugs.
There was a fire engine in our nursery big room today and this sparked a lot of interest.
Lots of outdoor play today, the PM children played ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’.
In group time we heard the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and tried to recall the story by sequencing the main events using sorting cards.

P3/4 have been learning how to divide. They have learned how to set the division out and chimney sums. They were making songs, a rap and its a secret! They were learning how to tell the time including half past and o’clock. Not to mention learning more Olly’s options, 8 of them! In PE they learned gymnastics and had a fun time on the wall bars.

Nursery: Wednesday 16th September
This morning, the messy room was busy with clocks and numbers and cars and animals kept people busy in the big room. When we were playing outside, we used the big dice and played a number game where we had to find the number chalked on the floor that matched the number of spots on the dice.
In the afternoon, Quinn’s mum baked gingerbread with all the children. What a lovely smell permeated all the areas! There was still time to play outside, showing safe play, and carry out our Humpty Dumpty egg investigation.
Nursery: Tuesday 15th September
What another lovely sunny day! We were printing numbers at the painting table, making clocks at the gluing table and building wall for Humpty Dumpty using bricks. We had a lot of time to play outdoors and show that we know how to play safely. At group time in the morning, we investigated the difference between cooked and uncooked eggs. Gooey and interesting fun.
Global Citizenship Assembly
Well Done to the Global Citizenship Committee who held their first assembly of the year. It was nice to see some parents/grandparents coming along to watch. The members of the committee spoke about the Syrian Refugee Crisis and have asked us to bring in donations of toothpaste and shampoo to add to toilet bags which have been donated to enable us to send them to help some refugees. We reflected on how lucky we are and sang “We are the world.”
Monday 14th September
Both AM and PM boys and girls have been learning the rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock today. We talked about a very old Grandmother clock which Mrs Fletcher brought in to show us, we listened very carefully to it say ‘tick, tock’. We talked about the rhyming words. We made clocks at the glueing and sticking table.
AM children did some drama today, we were using the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and pretending to be Jack and the Giant!
PM children did music today, we tried to keep a steady beat just like a clock using different parts of our body – clapping hands, tapping knees, clicking fingers etc. Some children were interested in Fire Engines so we heard a story about Fireman Sam.
Friday 11th September
The boys and girls were making the most of the lovely weather and we had most of our session outside in the nursery garden. We played What’s the time Mr Wolf ? which was great fun. Mrs Keenan, the music teacher, came into nursery and we played singing and action games. We heard the story about Jack and the bean stalk. We played the bear and the honey pot.
