Athletics

We are loving learning different skills for Atheletics in PE. Yesterday we practised throwing the javelin, shot put and discus. It was so much fun and we are trying to improve our personal best each week.

Noah's Ark

This week in Religious Education (RE) we read our second Christian moral story, Noah's Ark. 

First we created our own stick puppets.

Then we used vocabulary mats to help us re-tell the story.

At the end of the lesson we compared Noah's Ark to The Feeding of the 5000 and thought about the meaning of each story.

Next lesson we will be focusing on an Islamic moral story.

Planting Beans

Last week in Blue Class we carried out a test in our Science lesson.

We are investigating what a plant needs in order to grow.

We planted our beans in jam, sand, coffee and cotton wool. 

We are going to observe the growth of beans over a period of two weeks and then examine the different parts of a plant. 

We love the library!

We love visiting the library each week and enjoy choosing a new book to take home and share. This week I was so proud of Red Class as lots of the children really wanted to tidy the library and make sure it was looking it's best after they had chosen a book. We wanted everybody else to enjoy it as much as we do!

Well done Red Class!

Celebrating Differences Week

This week is the Family of Schools Awareness week. The chosen theme has been 'Celebrating Differences'.  We started off with an assembly where Miss Challoner had a large suitcase with something very special and important inside it.  The children attempted to guess what it could be, and it turned out to be a mirror showing the children that it is us who are very important and special.   The children were reminded about how we are all different and unique and that we should celebrate this. 

In Nursery the children looked at their unique finger prints by creating ink finger print pictures. They explored differences through playing the swapping places game and then  talked in circle time about what makes them special.
