We have had a really busy week, doing lots of learning and thinking.  This half term, we are using the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ to learn about:

• Big things and small things in our numeracy work
• Soft and hard in our investigation work
• Different tastes and textures in food technology

We enjoyed making bear shaped sandwiches in our food technology lesson.  We tasted and chose different fillings for our sandwiches before practising our spreading skills and cutting them into bear shapes.  Of course, real bears eat honey sandwiches, or marmalade, if it’s Paddington!

We were all taken by surprise when it started to snow when we were playing in the quad!  It was loads of fun to make tracks in the snow and feel how cold it was.  We had to come in and warm up with some soft blankets!

Have a great weekend and stay cosy!

When we found out that this half term we would be playing table cricket we were all wondering “what is table cricket?” We were very excited to go along to the Dance Studio to find out what it was and how to play it.

We all had such a good time learning how to bat, bowl and field around a table. We all moved around the table and took turns engaging in the different aspects. This week was a practise run but next week we are going to start scoring! What great fun it is and so good for the whole class to be working positively together.

Happy New Year!  We hope you had a fantastic Christmas holiday and enjoyed your New Year celebrations.

We have launched straight back into work at school.  Everyone enjoyed Hannah telling the story of ‘Golidlocks and the Three Bears’ and it inspired us to make big and small bear biscuits in our food technology lesson.

We’ve set up our role play area to be the three bears’ kitchen, and we have enjoyed acting out the story.

We have also been practising recognising our names and discussing our emotions.  It’s important to talk about how we feel!

We are really looking forward to doing some work about ourselves, our families and our homes this half term. It’s going to be fun!

In other lessons we have been counting out amounts.  It is quite a skill to point to each item, then remember how many all together.  We have been encouraging the children to touch each object as it is counted, and to count slowly.

We really enjoyed our soft play session this week.  It was the calmest session we have ever had!

Have a great weekend!

Welcome back to school everyone. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and we would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year.

We have had a busy four days settling back into school. We talked together about what we would like for snack time and made a shopping list. Today we all walked to a local shop to buy the things on our list. The children all were very engaged, looking carefully for the different items. We also added a couple of special treats which weren’t on the list!

When we came back we unpacked and then practised writing about our trip out in our own little writing books. We look forward to eating the lovely food we bought.
