Dinosaur Day

We started our topic on Dinosaurs by coming to school dressed as dinosaurs, paleontologists and dinosaur explorers! We talked about what we already know about dinosaurs and used a range of information sources to find out more. We talked about what different dinosaurs ate and sorted them into carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. We enjoyed pretending to be paleontologists digging to find evidence of dinosaurs!

Hockey

This term, we are enjoying weekly hockey coaching with Angie. We are learning how to hold the hockey stick, dribble with the ball, pass and stop ball. We have even started mini-matches with our peers. We are enjoying working as a team to score goals using attacking and defending skills!

Visit from Wild Science

We were very excited about the visit from Wild Science and loved meeting the animals!

First we met Billy the guinea pig who had lovely soft fur and is a mammal. We enjoyed stroking him. Then we met Tequila the curly haired tarantula and found out about how tarantulas are adapted to living in dark, warm environments. We got to see her eco-skeleton and had a close look at her fangs! We found out how Betty the white tree frog can camouflage according to the environment. Her skin felt smooth and just a little bit wet like amphibians. Some of us got to hold her. Finally we met Burt the royal python who is a reptile. Many of us enjoyed stroking him and some of us were even brave enough to hold him around our neck! We were surprised he wasn't slimy but instead scaly and smooth.

Space Fact Pages

Over Spring Term A, we enjoyed learning about Space and all the fascinating facts about the planets. We decided to write about 2 planets from our universe and add flaps to make our fact pages interesting. We loved sharing them with Year R and teaching them all about the planets.

Gymnastics

Since September, we have been practicing our balances and shapes in gymnastics. This term, we have used apparatus to support us to change levels, direction and speed. We are travelling using different parts of our bodies and challenging ourselves to have a strong core. We really enjoy gymnastics!

Skipping

We enjoyed our skipping workshop with Lizzie. We learned to skip forwards, backwards and crossover. We practiced our jumping skills and used the long rope to play some fun games.

Campbell Place

This term, we enjoyed sharing books and games with the residents of Campbell Place. We enjoyed sharing our interests and talking to them about their childhood.

Forest School

We have been enjoying exploring Forest School this half term. We have been relaxing in the hammock, building dens, closely observing for minibeasts at the bug hotel and learning about the tress and different seasons.
