w/b 22.6.2020 Year R have been thinking about different bodies of water this week and have recreated them in bottles in the woods. They have been writing stories and focusing on subtraction in maths,
w/b 19.6.2020 Year R have loved reading the book Bog Baby! They made their own Bog Babies, thought about how they should be looked after and went pond dipping to see if they could see any! They also enjoyed creating spiral artwork and making observational drawings in The OWL, our outside classroom.
w/b 1.6.2020 - Year R have settled back into school very well. They have got used to their new 'bubbles'. This week, our topic has been 'bees'. The children loved looking for bees in the meadow and learning lots of new facts.
w/b 9.3.2010 This week, we loved exploring weight in maths and enjoyed using the balance scales. We learnt about our senses and focused on sight and hearing. One of our favourite things to do was talk to each other through telephones we made! We thought about why our hearing was important for road safety and showed what we had learnt through our play.
w/b 2.3.2020. This week, the children have investigated textures in art, learnt about medicines and how to stay safe, how to safely use PE equipment and thought carefully about being a good friend, like the characters in Rainbow Fish.
