Our Learning
Teddy Bears Picnic
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough for us to have our picnic outside this year! However we took our teddies to the hall and Caroline from the kitchen provided some of us with a fantastic teddy’s picnic to enjoy. We listened to music, danced and played some games alongside teddy bear crafts all day.
Bradford City
We were very lucky to have the Bantams visit us in school for our sponsored penalty shoot out! We had a lot of fun! Please look on Tapestry for photos of your individual children taking their shots.
Representing Numbers
We have been having a lot of fun finding different ways to represent numbers 0 to 5.
Christmas Crafternoon
We invited our parents in to come and get creative with us for Christmas! We sang our favourite songs, made cards, decorated baubles, listened to Christmas music, made reindeer and fairy light art amongst much, much more! A big thank you to our families for sharing in this afternoon with us.
The Bog baby
Unfortunately our woodland walk was cancelled due to the storm but we still made good use of our outdoor area! We made habitats for the Bog Baby and leaf rubbings of Bluebell woods. Keep your eyes peeled for photos of when we rearrange our woodland and pond walk…
Fine Motor Skills
We have been practising strengthening our fingers! We are hoping to get stronger at writing, cutting and drawing. We’ve used tweezers, threading, hammers and learnt how to use scissors safely.
Maths
In our first few weeks at school we have been practising our maths skills. We are learning to count, order an d recognise numbers to 10.
Outdoor learning
In our first few weeks at school we have been exploring the outdoor area! We love the bikes and construction. We’ve also been looking after the plants and planting some new bulbs for spring. The food coming out of the mud kitchen has been interesting to say the least…
Mark making & Writing
We have been practising our phonics daily and learning how to correctly form our letters. We are getting really good at writing our own names now too!
