Phonics

Mrs Perry’s Phonics group used Phonics sounds footballs to write lots of words containing those sounds.

Olympic Torches

Chestnut Class have been learning about the Olympics. They made some torches out of sugar paper and tissue paper. We think they look great!

Outdoor Learning

Running fast!

In P.E with Mrs Hunter-Dale today, Chestnut Class were learning the best techniques to be able to run faster. They tried really hard!

Musical Instruments

We have finished off our topic on sound by making our own pan flutes and small string instruments. We thought about what we needed to do to make our instruments produce a higher or lower pitch.

Investigating Sound

Sycamore class have been looking at sound in our science lessons. We have been thinking about the idea that sound is produced and travels through objects by vibrations. We loved making string telephones to show us how this works. We then investigated which materials might be the best to help soundproof a carboard box kennel for a toy dog!

Investigating Circuits

Beech class have been exploring electricity and circuits in their science lessons.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Chestnut Class have been learning all about Beatrix Potter and in particular the stories about Peter Rabbit. Today they had a teddy bear picnic, eating foods that Peter Rabbit would eat from Mr McGregor’s garden. The radishes weren’t very popular!

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!
