At gymnastics the children worked on building core strength and balance. The children practiced hanging on the bars, forward rolls down the bench and jumping on and off a high bench.
The children in Rowans have worked so hard this week. In Phonics, the children have been learning the new phoneme +a and +er and practised the action and letter formation. The children have been reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. This story links to our current topic of ‘Let’s Explore’. The children listened to the story and shared there thoughts and ideas. Then the children made a story map to show what happens in the book. In science, the children have explored the process of freezing and melting. In PE, the children have practiced balancing.
We have been focussing on working together as a team and communicating to share our ideas. We decided to make an obstacle course outside, but first we had to consider a few things:-
Work with a friend to carry heavy equipment. This helps to develop our communication, language, PSED and physical skills.
Make sure equipment is steady and safe before using it.
Take care when adding new parts to the track.
Make sure the route is clear and safe.
We all had lots of fun whilst learning!
Chestnuts had the opportunity to practice their golfing skills at the SEND Golfway Skills Festival at Temple Park. We participated in a range of different golf activities with 31 other schools. The children really enjoyed the morning and were fantastic ambassadors for Fellgate.
In PE, Cherries have been joining our friends in Willows to play football. We’ve had lots of fun!
In Chestnuts we have been brushing up our golf skills ready for our golf competition next week. We have been learning how to control the club and to look at where we want to aim the ball. The children displayed some great skills!
The children in Rowans have worked very hard. In maths the children in reception have compared a variety of sizes, capacities, weights and lengths using objects. The children in year one have completed counting tasks. In phonics the reception children have learnt new phonemes S and A. The children in year one have learnt the diagraph +ow. In science the children have explored the textures of objects using a feely box. In computing the children practiced moving and clicking the mouse.
A super duper week Rowans, well done!!
Birches had their first surfing lesson last week. The children were really excited about their first lesson.
The children learnt about water safety and were given help to use the surf boards. Over the next 5 weeks the children will be learning about how to stay safe in the water and how best to use the surf boards in the water.
The children had lots of fun in the water playing in the waves. This is a great opportunity for the children to gain water confidence.
The children in Rowans and Acorns went to Monkton gymnastics and had lots of fun exploring the trampolines, balance beams and hanging bars. Well done everyone!
Willows had a brilliant morning at sports day. They all put in a fantastic effort and gained lots of winners stickers!
They took part in running races, egg and spoon, sack race and a football slalom just to name a few.
Have a look at them in action…
