Month: May 2021

What a great healthy half term we’ve had! This year is whizzing by and before we know it the Summer holidays will be here! Your children have, once again, been super stars and you can be really proud of all their hard work. I think they are ready for a week off and time to enjoy their family and friends.

Next half term we start thinking about our new big question –

“Which is my favourite wildflower and why?”

You will have heard that we have a brilliant trip arranged for the second day back which is a great way to start this half term’s learning. The home learning leaflet has come home in time for the holiday and has some lovely ideas that you may enjoy. Also please do have a look at our new virtual library linked to the new topic, there are some gorgeous books there to explore. I have included screen shots of both in this post, but the actual documents can be found under the menu tabs at the top of the blog.

Today was a busy day – all the children made their smoothies. I’m not adding any photos as I was busy filming it all! As soon as I have put the film together I will share it with you. The children were brilliant and enjoyed cutting their fruit to add to the noisy blender! Most of the children really enjoyed their smoothies and I was impressed that the ones that weren’t too sure all had a taste!

Today we started the day with outside Wake up Shake up – a huge thank you to Mrs Hollingworth who was an amazing instructor! Later we tried to develop our skipping skills – a great way to keep fit!

Don’t forget to visit the Damers Gardening Bank at the front of the school! This young man looks really pleased with the things he chose! What a smashing photo too!

We have been learning about odd and even numbers. This games is great fun and the children asked me to add it to the class blog so that they can play at home too!

Today the children learnt how to play scatter ball and loved it!

Healthy week got off to a cracking start today! We managed to dodge the showers and did some circuit training. We also found out what to do if someone has a head injury – if you’re not sure then ask your child who hopefully can remember!

This young lady has been very busy doing things that are good for her wellbeing!

The children loved having the opportunity to play some instruments in this week’s music!
