On Friday afternoon, Cherries went into the hall to play on the climbing frame. The children were much braver than last time and some climbed very high. Look at the photos of Cherries impressing us all with their braveness…
Cherries celebrated Halloween this week by having a party.
We played “pin the hat on the witch” and we ate lots of delicious food.
We have made lots of Halloween crafts this week including spider hats, ghost biscuits and different hanging decorations.
This week in Cherries, as part of our Stone Age topic, we have produced some lovely Stonehenge artwork.
We used paint to create a sunset wash and then cut out stone shapes using black paper, to look like a silhouette of Stonehenge.
This week, Cherries have been painting in art.
We integrated with Willows, from main school, to use water colours. We mixed the paints to create new colours based on the colours used by famous artists in famous paintings.
Also, we have been creating a winter background wash, using blues and whites. These will be used for our Cauliflower Card designs which parents will get the chance to buy on mugs and Christmas cards next month.
Look at the lovely photos below of us painting our winter washes.
Cherries are so proud of their amazing writing.
This week, we have been reading the book “Stone Age Boy” as part of our Stone Age topic.
We have produced some fantastic work: retelling the story and writing setting descriptions.
Look at how proud we are of our lovely writing.
This week, Cherries invited parents and carers into school to join us with our learning.
As part of our Stone Age topic, we built models of Stonehenge and we created handprints like people from thousands of years ago.
We also showed our parents / carers around our classroom and explained our learning.
As part of our Golden Time reward, Cherries have been in the soft play room. We had lots of fun!
In PE, Cherries have been joining our friends in Willows to play football. We’ve had lots of fun!
Today we used watercolour paints to mix colours by freely exploring the properties of watercolours. We compared findings, shared tips with each other and created some amazing colours.
Willows and Cherries visited the Roman fort of Segedunum in Wallsend. All term they have been learning about the Romans, so it was the perfect visit to conclude their topic ‘Emperors and Empires’.
The children took part in a workshop where they were enrolled in the Roman army! They had to take the oath and practise for battle using their spears and shields.
They then took a rather rainy walk around the fort ruins to get a real feel for how the Romans would have lived and worked together.
