Chestnut Class had a lovely afternoon trying some Chinese food for Chinese New Year.
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.
Road Safety
Our assembly theme this week was road safety. We talked lots about where you should cross the road and what you should do before you cross, which side of the car is safe to get out of, what we should do when we are in the car and where we should walk when we are on the pavement. Chestnut Class went out to practise some of the rules they had learnt.
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.
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!
