We explored making long and short caterpillars this morning using playdough. The children were able to listen and use the key vocabulary long and short to describe the caterpillars.

This week, the children in 1A have been trialling a new computing programme which we absolutely love! It is a programme which promotes independence whilst teaching new skills and consolidating the things the children already know. Well done everyone.

1A have been identifying the recycle logo from a range of different logos and then we have been looking for the recycle logo on a range of packaging. The children have been verbally saying the word ‘recycle’ when looking at the logo. Well done everyone.

Today we were lucky enough to go and visit the fire engine. We got to sit on board, fire the hose and touch some of the equipment that the fire fighters use. This afternoon, some of the children were eager to create their own fire engine. Well done everyone. 

Well done to everyone in 1A & 1H for a fantastic draw-a-thon activity. We used paint, water, wax crayons, felt tips and highlighters to make marks on a big scale. We had Peppa Pig, cars, people and dinosaur drawings along with lots of number and letter formation.

We would massively appreciate any donations of the above items to help resource our outdoor provision. Thank you in advance

Today we have recognised World Down Syndrome Day as we are recognising Comic Relief on Friday. The children have been making choices today to show that we all like different things, making us unique. This afternoon, we spent some time matching socks which the children were really good at doing.…

All of the children in 1A would like to say thank you to Jack and his family for donating money for all of his friends to enjoy a cake together this morning. It is very kind of you all and we enjoyed our cakes very much.

This afternoon we learnt all about the type of clothing and items we may need when the sun is shining. We created a backpack of all of these things which included, sun cream, a drink, an ice cream, sun glasses and a sun hat. Well done everyone. 

This week we are focussing on the concept of ‘short’ and ‘not short’ in maths. The children have been building towers this morning as well as ordering the heights of different towers whilst using the key vocabulary. Well done everyone. ⭐️

We made some Rangoli Hand Prints before lunch! The children enjoyed exploring the colours and using the cotton buds to print onto the hand print. Well done.
