Our topic of Where the Wild Things Are has come to an end! We have used Story Telling Language to improve the words we use when we tell and write stories.  We have created environments that included islands and seaweed for magical creatures and had lots of fun thinking about Wild Things!  We…

We have had a lovely week becoming more aware of Mental Health and how we can keep our minds happy and healthy.  We have worked with natural things that we have collected whilst out with our families, to make temporary art pieces, role play with seaweed in the water area, make petal sun catchers…

The children listened carefully to the story of Jesus telling his Disciples and Mary, his mother, that everything would be alright, that they must look after each other and that he would ascend to Heaven to be with his Father there.  The children were intrigued and we talked about how Jesus may…

As Mental Health Awareness Week began, we decided to go outside as we have realised that just being outside, whatever the weather, helps calm us and helps us to learn.  We looked around the playground and found some quiet places to sit beside our flowers.

We concentrated on our breathing…

Over the last few weeks we have been practising story telling and have enjoyed added expression to our voices.  In our Computing lessons, we have already learnt how to take a photograph, but this week, we looked at recording each other in a video. We loved it and became very professional, nodding…

St. George is our Class Saint!  We have celebrated today listening and learning about St. George.  We loved the story about him slaying the dragon and rescuing the Princess.  We thought about dragons and wrote lots of different adjectives to describe a dragon.  We made crowns and St. George’s…

We have had so much fun learning about Space and the Moon!  It has been one of the most exciting Topics we have learnt about!  As we came to an end, the children wanted to know more about Man on the Moon!  We watched a video clip of the first Moon Walk and we talked a lot about gravity!  We look…

During this week we have talked and learnt about differences!  We remembered our work during Lockdown about how important it is to ‘be ourselves!’  We listened to The Ugly Duckling story and the children said how unkind the other ducklings were to him!  We watched the Ollie and Daisy video about…

On 19th March the people of Italy honour and give thanks to St. Joseph, the patron Saint of Workers.  As 2021 has been declared the Year of St. Joseph, we too have celebrated St. Joseph.  We all wore red.  As he was a Carpenter, we have built with wood, dressed up as St. Joseph, made models with…

We came back to School and were so pleased and excited to see all our friends! To add to the excitement, we have new Outdoor equipment to help us to learn more through Outdoor Play, from bats and balls and our new Basketball Hoop, to planks and stumps of wood so we can create our own obstacle…

On our return to School, our Topic is ‘Whatever Next,’ the story about Little Bear that created a rocket out of a cardboard box and flew to the moon!  This coincided with Science Week so we decided to carry out some Space Science!  From fizzing planets, making moon craters and shining stars, we…
