Time

Our new unit of work in mathematics is ‘Time’. We are starting by thinking about the months of the year and the seasons.

A nice song to sing can be found at

Resources for our ‘Outdoor Area’

If you have any of the following items spare at home or know where to get hold of them and are happy to donate we would be extremely grateful.

Adult size plastic plates, cups and cutlery e.g. BBQ sets.

Plastic margarine tubs or take away containers.

Children’s size safety glasses (maybe dentists could get hold of these?)

Fun in the Snow!

Even though we didn’t get quite as much snow as we hoped we did make sure we made the most of it on Friday,

The children had fun together making snow castles, ice cars and a snow mountain.

Choosing our own learning

This week we have been very busy learning and having fun at school. Here are a few photos showing the children choosing their own learning using different areas in our classroom.

Building,  painting, drawing and creating lighthouses after hearing the story of Grace Darling.

We always welcome any old cardboard boxes and small containers for making interesting things, so do please send them in.

Spare chairs or tables

If anyone has any old children’s plastic or wooden furniture you are thinking of throwing away we would be very happy to have it for our outside area.

With thanks.

Time for Action!

After the relaxing Christmas holiday it was time to think about how our bodies feel when we are active and how exercise can improve health, make you feel good and helps our bodies work well.

We had an enjoyable P.E. lesson exploring and investigating body parts that are capable of taking weight for balancing.

As you can see the children worked hard and thought about their body tension when balancing.

     

Thank you
