bursar@netherkellet.lancs.sch.uk New areas for Oak Class
Oak Class have had some nice new areas to explore this week including a Potion Room, new instruments and song cards and a new deconstructed role play. They have had a fantastic time exploring!
Making Boats
The children in Oak Class have been testing various materials to see what would work well to make a boat. They then designed their boats and built them. After half term, they are going to test their boats by seeing how many Lego men they can hold before they start to sink.
Chinese New Year
Oak Class had a whole week of learning about Chinese New Year last week. They made lanterns, wrote Chinese numbers, made dragon masks, wrote information leaflets about tigers (as it is the year of the tiger), listened and danced to Chinese music and had a go at trying some different Chinese foods. What a fun week!
Delayed Children in Need day
We have had a wonderful delayed Children in Need day with pyjamas, wacky hair of LOTS of cakes. Thank you to everyone who took part and to everyone who donated cakes for the sale.
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.
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.
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.
