Weaving

Chestnut Class have been learning how to weave. First, they did it with paper, practising the movements and then they did it with wool and ribbons. They all look lovely.

Creepy Crawly Roadshow

Oak Class also got a visit from Creepy Crawly Roadshow yesterday. The children had great fun holding the creatures and learning all about them.

Creepy Crawly Roadshow

Yesterday, we had a visit from Creepy Crawly Roadshow. John brought in lots of different creatures for the children to hold and look at including a cockroach, snake, snail, butterfly, stick insect, millipede and a spider. The children loved it and so did the staff! We learnt so much!

Map work

Today in Oak Class we have been doing some work about maps. We went on an adventure around the running track drawing things onto our maps as we saw them. Miss Molloy’s Phonics group had been learning about ‘x’ so we also hid some treasure and marked the spot with ‘x’. At lunchtime, lots of the children came and got their maps and got older children to use them to find the treasure. Their maps were so good that lots of children found it! We are going to discuss the pond in more detail and link this to other bodies of water linking in with our current topic of ‘Life of the Ocean Waves’.

Toast!

This week in Phonics, Oak Class have been looking at the oa sound so of course we had to make toast. It was definitely our yummiest Phonics lesson!

Forest Schools- Symmetry

This afternoon we went outside and made symmetrical pictures using natural objects. The children thought very carefully about their pictures and we were very impressed.

Dodgeball Taster Session

Children from all classes were lucky enough to take part in a dodgeball taster session today. They all tried really hard and had a great time!

Year 5/6 Athletics Tournament

Our Year 5s and 6s did amazingly well at yesterday’s Athletics tournament at LMC. They came second and we are all very proud of them!

Making 7

In Oak Class this week we have been looking at the number 7 and the different ways that we can make it. We have done this with Numicon and paint. We have also used tens frames, the numeral and cubes to represent it.
