During their Art lesson today, Yr. 2 explored their portraits before creating a self-portrait using collage.

Can you recognise anyone from these portraits?

Yr. 1 enjoyed the use of the chrome books for the first time, this academic year, today.

They learnt how to log on and explore the different learning apps available to them. 

Their knowledge of using the chrome books was amazing. What an extremely technologically minded year group they are!

In our Numeracy lesson today, 9th October, Yr. 1 explored number bonds to 9. Their aim was to find different number bonds to 9.

Persevering with their challenging task, 
all Yr. 1 managed to find 4 different ways to make 9 using the Part/Part > Whole structure.

A huge welcome to all our nursery children and well done for a fantastic first two weeks at nursery! You are all settling in really well! Keep up the good work! Here are just a few pictures of all the fun activities we have got up to in our first few weeks!

As our Great British weather is so unpredictable, while it was dry outside we headed out for some playground games and fun with the outdoor equipment. We really enjoyed playing on the bikes, scooters and jumping in the muddy puddles with our wellies on!

During our Yr. 1  Art lesson, 7th October, we created puppets of our family members.

Do you recognise anyone?

Today, we explored our listening skills.

We used a ‘hot potato’ to track sounds and guess who had the hot potato. 

After that, we played a safari game, listening to our animal’s name and moving when it was said.

Finally, we played the ‘Fidget Card’ activity to practise one of our listening skills – sitting still.

This fortnight (weeks commencing 30th Sept and 7th Oct) our theme is The Three Little Pigs. As fun Friday and to link to our theme, Reception have made piggy faces out of rice cakes, jam, fruit and strawberry cables. The children had great fun and their piggies tasted delicious!

In LB2 we have been very busy this month. In maths, we are concentrating on larger numbers. In Literacy, we have been studying Tuesday and have become detectives investigating a strange case of flying frogs. We have written some amazing police reports. We have built hill forts (complete with sheep) in our theme lessons and our art work is outstanding. Every day we learn a new word in our word of the day. This week’s words are neighbour, mention and popular. We are using our new words in our written work. What a great start to the year.

We are enjoying the story of the three little pigs and have been acting out the story, making the characters or houses using different materials and using our huff and puff to blow bubbles or play blow football.
