![]() This week we have been spotting, continuing and creating our own patterns in lots of different ways. We have enjoyed the book 'Pattern Fish' and colouring our own pattern fish. We were lucky enough to enjoy a visit from the Dartmoor Rescue group this week. Children thought of interesting questions to ask and listened well to find out about the important work the rescue group do. The class even worked together to lift the dummy on the heavy stretcher... young rescuers in the making!
This week we have been exploring 3D shapes. Children have been building, printing, making and working with different shapes. Children have been able to sort and describe the properties of solid shapes.
This week we have planted three trees in our school field. The children learnt about the differences between the Silver Birch, Hazel and Oak trees. To accompany them, we made our own signs in the woodwork area. We look forward to watching them grow as the children move along their journey through school.
Spring is in the air in Year R. We were excited to take delivery of our eggs from Farmer Jo this week and are carefully keeping them warm and safe in the incubator. We are also chitting our seed potatoes and looking at the flowers growing in our playground. We will keep you updated.
A great day celebrating World Book Day! Children made a super effort with their costumes and used some lovely language to talk about their characters. They also wrote about them and shared stories with their reading buddies. Our woodwork area has been so busy this week. Children have been drawing plans, selecting equipment and using real tools to create their pieces.
This week we visited the village Post office where Annie helped us post our parcels. Back in class we have enjoyed making our own Post Office and posting things to different places around the world, weighing our parcels and delivering the mail. We have even wrapped our own packages and written labels.
We have read the stories; The Jolly Postman, Meerkat Mail, Postman Pat and Katie Morag Delivers the Mail. Year R had a super day at Paignton Zoo this week. We saw so many animals, found out what they ate and how endangered they are. Back in class children have made their own zoo maps, wrote and talked about their visit and worked together to make animal themed artwork. |
