Children from Birches and Chestnuts participated in a one mile cross country run at Temple Park this week. The children thoroughly enjoyed the run and having their photograph taken on the podium afterwards. The children all received a medal for taking part. Well done!
This week in Maples during geography we looked at fieldwork. Fieldwork combines the knowledge and skill children require to think about about what and where places are and why. We created a short checklist of areas within the school grounds and asked the children to locate them. The children really enjoyed sharing their knowledge and were rewarded with a play session in the soft play for their efforts. Well done Maples.
Each week we spend some time using Lexia, an online program which helps to develop reading and phonics skills. Everyone has an individual target number of minutes to complete, and we can work on this at home or at school.
I am super proud of how hard our Acorns work each week on EVERYTHING they do. They always give 100% and should all be proud of their achievements. Well done Acorns!
This week in Acorns we have been exploring some challenges linked to ‘Fieldwork Fortnight’.
One of the challenges was to look at signs, and explore how colours signify different meanings. We talked about red for ‘stop’ and green for ‘go’, and how this helps to control traffic and keep people safe.
We even made some road signs of our own to use with the small world vehicles!
This week Maples got to enjoy a stay and play session at the local Gymnastics gym. They bounced, balanced, jumped and rolled on the fantastic gym equipment. They also got to play on a variety of toy vehicles and scooters. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and look forward to our next session in a few weeks!!
This week in Art the children selected colours and foam roller to make print patterns for the tentacles of their Octopuses. The children then added eyes, a mouth and tentacles to the body to create colourful octopuses. Well done Rowans
