Class 1 We have had a lovely week, enjoying exploring our Autumnal playground and finding lots of different using for the many leaves falling off the trees. We have had an autumn scavenger hunt, using the iPads to photograph anything that tells us it is autumn. In Maths, we have been learning about triangles and circles- thinking about how they differ, how to describe them and finding them all around us. We have also been looking at the work of Kandinsky and using it as inspiration for artwork. It was cartoon week in Drawing Club- Captain Pugwash inspired our writing and drawing and the children have produced some brilliant codes to go with their pictures. At Forest School we learned how to create a 'Storm Shelter', which took really good listening skills and teamwork.
We loved our first Harvest Festival and felt proud to see our pictures up on the walls - we hope you liked them!
Class 1 have enjoyed making some autumnal potions, using natural resources we've gathered around the playground. We had a great time for Outdoor Maths Day, with a scavenger hunt and collaborating to build bridges. In Drawing Club we have been reading the Gingerbread Man, creating fantastic pictures of Gingerbread Men and all the other characters. We have been busy getting creative with our Cauliflower Card designs - we really enjoyed making them and hope you love them too. We have been challenging ourselves to do an extra lap on our daily mile - there are some very competitive children in Class One!
Class 1 have been learning all about harvest in preparation for our Harvest Festival. We shared the story of the Little Red Hen before brainstorming all the different foods we harvest. We have been busy creating some fantastic observational drawings using oil pastels, which we look forward to sharing with you. In Drawing Club, we have been focusing on Dear Zoo, with lots of brilliant puppy drawings and new pets. The children are really enjoying these sessions and showing lots of imagination. We were very excited for our Pet Encounter session, with the favourites being the chameleon and the armadillo. In SCARF we have been talking about who looks after us, thinking of who our trusted adults are. In Maths, we have been busy subitising and recognising 1, 2 and 3. We also enjoyed a Forest School session in our developing Forest School area. Another busy week!
Class 1 What a busy week we've had! Reception have been working hard in our phonics sessions, quickly picking up lots of new phonemes and working hard to write them. In Maths we have been investigating patterns using all sorts of materials. In SCARF we shared pictures of our families, telling our friends what makes them special to us and recognising how they are different from our friends'. We also took part in Climate Day, where we learned about our wonderful world - making story sticks of natural treasures we found around the playground, then designing and building robots to help us make small changes to look after our environment. On Friday we were excited to take part in European Languages Day, with French, German and Ukrainian activities as well as finding out about different European flags. And again, we still found lots of time to explore and play!
Class 1 It has been a very busy week in Class 1, with Reception settling in well to their daily phonics sessions. In Maths, Reception have read 'The Button Box,' and thought of different ways to group the buttons, as well as building houses for different sized animals. In Nursery they have been creating fabulous building using different shaped blocks.
We explored our orchard area and had our first Forest School taster, learning fire pit rules and making popcorn.
Class 1 have had a fantastic week, with all children well settled into our routines and embracing their learning opportunities. Reception have loved starting Drawing Club and it is great to hear and see how imaginative they are. Nursery have begun their small group work, focusing on listening to their friends and taking turns. In SCARF we have been sharing all the things we enjoy and are good at, celebrating how different we are.
Class 1 have made a brilliant start to the new school year. We have all enjoyed lots of time to explore inside and out: learning all about our new friends during our SCARF
session; starting to talk about different emotions linking to the Colour Monster; enjoyed singing some familiar nursery rhymes as well as learning some new ones; starting to learn all about apples and sampling some of our homegrown harvest; painting; building; making colour potions; climbing; building obstacle courses; testing our balance on the bike ramp..... They have all been amazing!
Class 1 have had a lovely last week together, with all of our children showing they are ready for the next step in their school journey.
We enjoyed an end of term picnic, sharing cakes we had baked ourselves. We worked together to build paper aeroplanes, helped by some of our friends in year 5, then had a competition to see whose would fly the furthest. We all had fun flying our planes around the field and trying to make them do stunts. We have been busy making some very special paintings and cards for our year 6 buddies - we are so grateful for all the support and kindness you have shown us and wish you the very best of luck at your new schools!
Class 1 have had an absolutely fantastic week. We started it with our trip to Maryport, where we visited the Lifeboat station and leaned all about the different kinds of boats they use and rescues they do. Then we had time to play on the beach and ice lollies all round.
On Tuesday we had our Forest School session with some very special guests - our teddies had decided to surprise us! We had a lovely teddy bears picnic and enjoyed making dens for our bears.
We loved watching Class 4's performance of 'Oliver with a Twist' and were so impressed with the acting, singing and dancing. Well done to you all!
Class 1 have been busy learning all about maps in Maths and have enjoyed making maps for Goldilocks to find her way home, treasure maps and looking at maps of Crosby-on-Eden.
We were very excited to release our butterflies, having watched how they changed from a caterpillar. We have been writing about different life cycles.
We had a fantastic time on transition day, with Reception enjoying their time in Class 2 and Nursery welcoming some new friends.
Everyone has their fingers crossed for a dry sports day, we have been practising our racing and skipping and are really looking forward to it.
