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.

This afternoon, we worked together to make some crispy cakes. We used key words such as mix, pour and scoop whilst making them. Most of the cakes didn't make it to the fridge to set as we were all too eager to eat them.

This morning we have had lots of fun making chicken hats! We love the individuality and creativity of all of the children and the huge smiles on your faces is even better

Here’s some more photos from our fun morning with the bounce play.

We have had an absolute blast this morning for our rewards day treat.

Charlie is 1A’s star this week for positively engaging with our Eco activities, identifying the recycle symbol on various household products. Amazing work Charlie.

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.

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.
