Chestnut and Oak lunch

Water Fight

We had an amazing time at our water fight this afternoon. The weather was gorgeous and we got very wet!

Ice creams

We would like to say a massive thank you to the PTA for providing some yummy ice creams after our water fight today!

Oak Class outdoor fun

Oak Class have had a wonderful day in the outdoors. They have paddled, had water thrown at them(!), played on the Didi cars, had fun in the tunnel and the tent and then in the afternoon they built dens for their toys. Everyone has had a wonderful day and luckily the weather was on our side!

The Lake District trip

Yesterday we went on an amazing trip to Brockhole. We got the boat from Bowness to Brockhole, where we did loads of outdoor activities. We made memory sticks using loom bands and natural objects, we made necklaces by threading leaves onto wool, added things to a den to make it more comfortable for the animals, had a picnic and had a play on the massive adventure playground! We even had time to go to the gift shop!

Tea party!

Over the past few weeks in Oak Class we have been looking at the book The Queen’s Hat. Lots of our learning has been about the Queen. We have done lots of writing, made a biography on the computer and designed a new hat for the Queen. Over the past two days we have made crowns and bunting and this morning we made scones drawing knowledge from our recent topic on weighing! This afternoon we had a royal tea party with scones (with jam and cream!), tea and juice. We all wore our crowns, waved our flags and even decorated the tables with cups of flowers. We felt very royal. Some of us even practised our Queen waves! We finished off the afternoon with a quick play on the climbing frame, a story under the tree and of course some dancing to… who else… Queen!

Our new climbing frame

We were able to open the brand new Oak Class climbing frame today after our new soft flooring had been put down over the weekend. We had a great time and even the adults had a go!

Forest Schools- Wax Relief

Oak and Chestnut Class had a challenge today to make up their paint and then use it to uncover the secret number. They then had to put these in order. It was like magic!

Kandinsky inspired artwork

Oak Class looked at the work of different artists, focusing mainly on Kandinsky. All of the artwork was based on circles. Oak Class had a go at recreating some of this artwork.

Forest Schools- Hedgehogs and Junk Modelling

Oak & Chestnut Class have been learning about hedgehogs in Forest Schools and talking about how to look after them. Oak Class have also been looking at the book On Sudden Hill which is about a group of friends who love changing boxes into all sorts of different things. We thought we would give this a go and as well as looking at hedgehogs we also had a go at turning junk into models!
