![]() After reading the story of Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert we used autumn themed items to make our own pictures. Our creations included an owl, wildebeest, rabbit among others. To get in the autumn mood, you can view us performing our Wise little Squirrel song.
The sun was shining this Friday as we enjoyed our time in the forest school. We had a jam packed morning building nests for silly squirrel, completing an autumn themed phonics treasure hunt and making salt dough hedgehogs. All topped off with hot chocolate and biscuits around the camp fire. We were entertained by Vicky and Helen from Above Bounds Theatre Co. They performed a show about a silly squirrel and we enjoyed the audience participation.
Mrs Snell teaches RE to the class each Wednesday afternoon. This Wednesday they held a Christian baptism in class with Hettie and Eli as proud parents to baby Jacob and Finn and Poppy as godparents.
This week we have enjoyed pampering our classmates and staff in our hairdressing and nail salon. Once you made an appointment you could choose from a wash, cut, restyle and new shade of nail varnish. We all felt better after a visit this week and it was a super chance to talk to each other too. ![]() We have also read the story 'The Worrysaurus' by Rachel Bright. We have talked about times when we feel worried and what we could do when that happens. Children had excellent ideas including making dream catchers, speaking to adults, giving a hug and playing with someone. Here are some great things we created this week in response to the story; dream catchers, worry dolls, pictures and bracelets. We have been practising our sorting skills this week. We have sorted according to colour, shape, size and type and also enjoyed finding the 'odd one out'. The class shared photos of themselves as babies. They were excited to meet a real baby as well as care for toy babies in class this week.
This week's super sunny weather has meant we have enjoyed plenty of outdoor learning. To end the week we walked to Mrs Glover's farm to see the sheep, feed the pigs and pick some blackberries. Back in class we all had a go at cutting apples, adding our freshly picked blackberries and mixing ingredients for a crumble topping, before taking them home to enjoy with our families.
This week has been the children's first ever full week of school! They have tried many things for the first time; taking new things in their stride and having a go at everything available. Among our firsts this week have been attending whole school assembly, receiving our first school certificates, completing PE lessons and changing into PE kit. Children also shared their favourite things collages that they created at home. We all learnt more about each other. A BIG well done to all our new starters in Year R who have been quick to settle into school life. We are looking forward to a fun filled year ahead. Here are a selection of photos showing some of the things we have been doing during our first 3 days. |
