Well what a busy but very exciting week we have had!

We did some fantastic moving and dancing during our P.E lesson and introduced the rebound centre to some of our new friends to have some time on the trampolines. Of course we had to made the most of the beautiful sunshine and had lots of fun while doing outdoor learning. We were also lucky enough to have an amazing outdoor music concert this week which everyone really enjoyed and you should have seen the dance moves the children showed us – they were fabulous.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and will see the children on Monday.

Hello and welcome to our first Class Blog. It’s so good to be back and to welcome new children to Hadrian School. We’ve had a great few days back, settling in and making new friends. We are busy finalising the Timetable and will send it out to you very soon. However, we’ve wasted no time in getting stuck in and already have had Jabadao, Rebound, PE, Art, Sensory Play, Communication/letters and Sounds groups, Maths/Early Numeracy group, Food Technology and loads of other things too. We are concentrating on building relationships with each other and also finding out about what the children like, (and don’t like!) to do.

Our Project this Half Term is “It’s Good to be Me!” so we would love you to send in photographs of your child at home with family members and doing things they like to do at home. You can send them in on the Class Dojo or by  email.

Here are some photographs from the last week and a half.

Oops we’re having difficulties getting the photographs in. As soon as we can, we’ll get them on. You can also head over to our Class Dojo where you’ll find photos on our Class Story.

It was so good to be back in school after our 10 days isolation. We know not everyone could be back with us and we were thinking of those at home. We did Zoom our Circle times so our children at home could join us.

We decided this week to do lots of activities to help us to feel good about the world. We had water play on Wednesday, The Hydro Pool on Thursday and a wonderful pamper Afternoon on Friday. We also celebrated how well our children have coped with the changes at assembly on Friday morning. Everyone got a certificate and some bubbles. Well done to Sophia too who got a certificate and medal for all of the sports she did at home during Sports Week.

We can’t believe it’s our last week next week! We’re going to have a sporty week with our own mini Olympics.

Take care everyone.

We are very excited to be representing The United Arab Emirates next week during Sports Week. We chose this country as it was the first country we visited for our “Holidays” theme according to Mason! We are so excited to all be wearing a T shirt with the flag of the UAE on it. A shout out to Paula in Dave’s class for kindly printing them for us.

We have begun to learn all about the country and what a fascinating country it is, especially Dubai with its amazing buildings, Palm Island and beautiful beaches. We have listened to the National Anthem, made flags, listened to some children’s songs in Arabic and explored Belly Dancing. We have so much more planned for next week and that’s not including all of the wonderful sports activities planned. We will be getting involved in Cricket, Dodgeball, Paralympics, Table Top Sports, Welly Wanging, Wheelchair Races, Bikes and Orienteering. Wow! What a week it will be.

We also said a sad “Goodbye” to our Snails which we have been looking after for a couple of weeks. We have learnt so much about them and they have enjoyed staying in our Snail Hotel so much so that three of them have had babies! We set them all free in the Caterpillar garden and we were delighted that every child in the class felt confident and happy to pick one up and let it go. We will check on the babies from time to time.

And finally, a little peek at our new Holiday Display in the making. It’s fabulous!

Another brilliant week. We look forward to sharing next week with you.

Babs, June and the Team.

We had a fantastic afternoon of fun on Thursday. Some of us soaked up the sun in waterplay outside while the rest of us got lost in a world of imaginative play in soft play.

In soft play we set up our own train and went for a ride around the country. Thank goodness our train driver James was there to make sure the train had enough coal. The passengers had tickets and everyone was in the right seat. We then had a wonderful role play of Goldilocks and The Three Bears, with Daddy bear, Mammy bear and a very convincing Baby Bear. (Go Sehrish!) We were all so immersed in our story and it was great to see everyone getting lost in the world of imagination. It was also a great opportunity to work on physical skills and get our bodies moving.

While this was going on, the rest of us were having just as much fun in waterplay! We got our swimming costumes on and took full advantage of the glorious weather we have been having. We had paddling pools, squirty bottles and even had a bouncy castle! With water fights, imaginary plants to water and Mason washing the car just like his Dad.  It was a wonderful afternoon.
