Oak Class have had a wonderful day in the snow today! We spent the first half of the morning getting all our snuggly clothes on and going outside to make snow sculptures and writing in the snow with paint brushes. After that we came in and warmed up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows and watched The Snowman. We had so much fun!
In Maths this week, we have been learning all about the number 5. We have been making 5 in different ways using Numicon and looking at pentagons.
Oak Class decorated biscuits to look like poppies using red icing and a chocolate button. They tasted as good as they looked!
Chestnut Class have been learning all about why we mark Remembrance Day with poppies. They have done lots of writing and craft activities around poppies and the customs around Remembrance Day.
In Chestnut Class we have had some wonderful homework challenges that have been brought in. We are so proud of all of them!
Today, Chestnut Class went out to collect lots of different sized sticks. They then used loom bands, glittery pipe cleaners, feathers, glitter and sequins to decorate them to make them look like sparklers. We had great fun and made lots of mess!
This week in Oak Class we have been celebrating and learning about Diwali. We have dressed up in traditional Indian dress, danced to Diwali music, watched videos of fireworks, made coconut barfi, done firework art and even lit our classroom up with fairy lights. We have had a wonderful week!
Sycamore Class have enjoyed learning about Hinduism this half term and we concluded this learning by having a day focused on Diwali. We took part in many activities including baking coconut squares, acting out The Ramayana and creating Rangoli patterns and Diva lamps.
Beech Class loved their day out at Borwick Hall. They took part in a range of activities including the low ropes course, the crate stacking challenge and canoeing. They learnt and used lots of different skills, such as independence, perseverance, problem solving and team work. Everyone showed amazing bravery and risk-taking, pushing themselves to achieve new things. Well done Beech Class!
All the children in Oak Class have had a fantastic start this year. They have been busy learning new things, exploring new areas and making new friends. We are so proud of how far they have come already! Here are a selection of phots from their first few weeks. We hope everyone has a wonderful half term!
