Hi everyone, happy Friday! Only four more Fridays until we break up, or if you want a more exciting way of looking at it, only 30 more sleeps until Christmas!
This week we’ve spent a lot of time indoors, due to the cold, wintery weather we’ve been graced with, and so we’ve managed to fit in even more classroom based fun than usual!
Check out these photos of our happy little class enjoying some great sensory play!
Have a lovely weekend everyone, see you on Monday! – Dave and team 🙂
On Monday morning Class 13 worked really hard on their outcomes in English and Maths. In the afternoon some of the children enjoyed watching the World Cup match while others practiced their fine motor skills with some potato peeling to make mashed potato.
Midweek we started rehearsing for our Christmas show obviously it is under wraps…. We’ve cast and got our costumes nearly ready, need to get our dance moves perfected next.
Thursday we had an Egyptian God hunt in the classroom and we had to match them with our worksheet then colour in.
Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe….
We started off our week with a fabulous football session with Graham which all of the children love. After football we went to our trim trail and practiced our climbing and balancing skills.
Then on Tuesday we started our remembrance day art makin poppies with tissue paper and glue. On Tuesday afternoon we headed to the kitchen to make some very tasty biscuits.
On Wednesday we had a very busy day starting off with mud kitchen making lots of muddy pies and water play. when we were all cleaned up we went to meet our friends from the west Denton fire station we all took turns sitting in the fire truck and we all used the fire hose.
Thursday morning we had a lovely maths lesson. We used our 1:1 correspondence skills to count amounts of flowers on a vase. Using this knowledge we then created flowers out of pipe cleaners and buttons to match the amount of flowers shown on our vases. After playtime we then had a lovely meditation session. This always relaxes us. Once we had our lunch we then took a trip to the thrive room, which is our favourite time of the week.
On Friday, we had our remembrance assembly. This was very emotional, however it is important for us to remember those who died in the war and our loved ones. In the afternoon we had a lovely free choice session. We played with playdoh, our new mark making board and the kitchen.
On Monday morning we had football with Graham and we learnt lots of new football skills. We all had a great time in the sports hall. In the afternoon we had a spooky Halloween disco with all of our friends at Hadrian. There was party games and we had fun dancing with everyone. At the end of the day we had a lovely chocolate treat.
On Tuesday we had a fun packed day, we started our morning off with making some colourful firework display pictures with string and paint. After lunch we made some delicious old school cakes which we later had as our afternoon snack.
Wednesday started off with us going into our mud kitchen to have mud soup and mud pies, followed by playtime. In the afternoon we continued our firework activities and made fireworks with chalk and black card. Mandy then made some fabulous rockets with everyone which we played with before we had our afternoon snack.
On Thursday morning we made some Roman mosaic tiles with lots and lots of glue and colorful tiles and beads making sure to leave no spaces. In the afternoon we went to the thrive room and dressed up as lots of different characters such as a policeman and we had lots of princesses. we danced to music and shared all of our toys with our friends.
Friday started with our chocolate spread on toast and cocktails. After breakfast we had lots of fun playing and making Roman pottery with our playdoh. In the afternoon we had our assembly and we watched our school firework display watching the amazing colours and hearing the loud bangs of the fireworks.
Good afternoon everyone, we’ve had a fantastic (and not to mention SPOOKY) first week back here in Class 12! We started the week with Halloween itself! We were all dressed up in the most creative and scary costumes and managed to get in a spot of Trick or Treating before the our Halloween party in the afternoon! Take a look below:
We also had our very first trip to Newcastle City Centre this week! James and Jack caught the bus with our friends from Scott’s, Rachel’s and Shirley’s classes into town where they made their way to the Grainger Market Cafe for a snack and a drink. Check it out below:
We had great fun in our poetry sessions this week! We managed to write our own versions of ‘Splish Splash Splosh’ as well as use drums to create rhythm while we performed these! We all did a terrific job, take a look below:
We have been celebrating Halloween a little early as it has tied in nicely with exploring different materials and also our class sensory story, “We’re Going on a Pumpkin Hunt”
We have explored the story using all of our senses and this week we went on a pumpkin hunt in the Caterpillar Garden. We also became mini scientists as we made an erupting pumpkin!
We have enjoyed joining in with lots of Halloween related songs on the Smart Board and tried dancing to “the Skeleton Dance”
There will be a whole school Halloween Party on the 31st of October when we come back to school. We will dress up and enjoy Halloween type foods, songs and dance and scary stories.
We hope you have a good half term holiday and look forward to welcoming the children back on the 31st October.
Jess, Babs, Labli and Corrie.
What an amazing week we have had in class 15!
Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who came to our coffee afternoon. It was lovely to meet you all. The children were extremely happy to have you around joining in with the music and singing.
This week along with the regular activities we have had a special harvest assembly on Wednesday. Each class had to choose a country and explore their cultural celebration, music and cook a meal for the special assembly. We chose Iraq and downloaded some amazing Kurdish music and enjoyed some lovely bean and vegetable stew.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!!!
We had fun this week celebrating harvest! We found out how other countries around the world celebrate harvest. Each class made a dish from a different country so we made a cake from Lebanon called a Namoura cake. In our harvest assembly, the dishes were tasted by Mr Rayner. We went on a ‘signs of autumn’ hunt and made an autumn wreath. Then we cut out and coloured scarecrows.
