In English this morning we have been learning how to follow instructions. We read the instructions on the board and followed them to make some yummy cakes.

This morning 1A and 1H came together to play some team games. The challenge was to keep as many balls on the parachute as possible by working together to keep the sides of the parachute up. They did a great job. Afterwards, the children enjoyed laying down on the floor whilst the adults moved the…

It’s another week so it must be time for another Eric Carle story. This week we are focussing our learning on the story, ‘The Very Busy Spider.’ We have been matching animals, identifying animal noises and practising carefully counting animals. Well done everyone. ????????

What a hot start to the week! This afternoon we have spent splashing and paddling in the water and what a great way to cool down! Well done everyone for being so safe around the water, following verbal instructions from the adults. 

We recognised VE Day (albeit yesterday,) by making flags, listening to music and having a street party together with 1H.

We had so much fun exploring the forest, looking for flowers and digging for bugs. It has been lovely to see all of the learning we have done recently come together as children have been counting, reciting their favourite stories and communicating with one another through play.

We have been learning all about capacity in 1A focussing on the vocabulary ‘full and empty.’ Today, the children were identifying an empty caterpillar and then once they had filled him up with yummy food, they were able to identify him as being full. Well done everyone. We even managed to do our…

This morning we have created some Easter eggs - magically!!! Using our fingers to move the paint around on the egg without getting paint on our hands. It was really interesting to see the children at first be apprehensive around touching the bag but once they knew the paint wouldn’t get on their…

Jack proudly represented 1A this afternoon in the Fashion Show. We all worked together to make an Easter egg top out of cardboard and pieces of scrap material. Jack chose to wear his headband that we made in class yesterday.

Today’s choice the children had to make was which story we would be sharing at circle time. It was a tricky choice for some as it was a choice between two firm favourites - The Gingerbread Man and We’re going on a Bear Hunt.
