The children have had the most amazing day in FS learning about dinosaurs! They were amazed that a dinosaur got into our outdoor classroom! They created play dough dinosaurs, investigated ice eggs and footprints and did some truly wonderful artwork!
As we couldn’t get up to Forest School today, we still decided to go out and be ‘Stewards of the Earth,’ and do some litter picking in our local community and school grounds. We had a great morning, working together using the litter pickers, being litter spotters and even jumping in a few muddy puddles! The children were so good we even had time for a snack and story in our Jubilee Garden!
What fantastic ‘Stewards,’ they are!
Congratulations to all the children (and parents!) who took part in the Foundation Stage Sports’ Day. There was a lovely, fun and supportive atmosphere as the children made their way along obstacle courses, balanced beanbags and took part in welly wanging.
The children in the Foundation Stage were really happy to meet Barney the Parrot. Jodie kindly brought him in to enhance our Pirate topic, although I don’t think Barney has ever sat on a pirate’s shoulder!
We found out that he is an African Grey Parrot, loves playing with his toys and has sunflower seeds for a treat. He also showed off his acrobatic skills.
Thank you for visiting us Barney.
Well done to the Year 2 Celebration of the Word team and the two team guests from Foundation Stage One – they spoke clearly and proudly to guide us through our understanding of the word ‘Vocations’. One child explaining:
‘Vocation is God’s plan for you’
We all had a fun time enjoying The Croods, eating popcorn and sweets and drinking squash. It proved to be very popular and raised lots of money for our new music area. This area will start to take shape soon and the children will be able to enjoy exploring sounds.
Thank you for supporting us whilst we create this new learning zone and a particular thank you to Conor – Mrs Hudson’s brother for creating the Music Wall.
The children (and staff!) loved watching the ducklings – although we did get a bit wet as they liked splashing, swimming and jumping around.
TTRS and Numbots!
Mathletics Results
The Rainbow Fish loved using the chocolate buttons during our science session today. They wanted to find out where it would melt the fastest – in our hands or in our mouths. They had lots of fun finding out (and got very messy and sticky!) that it melts the fastest in a warm environment.
FS children had an amazing time at Nottingham Castle in the sunshine. They noticed similarities and differences within our local environments; used a spotter sheets to look for clues within the Art Gallery; noticed floral prints and drew these; tried on a range of hats and finally had a wonderful time playing on the Adventure Playground – bringing our castle topic to life!
What a busy day they had!
