Pirates Ahoy!

Our children have really enjoyed our Pirate theme.

Through this theme we have focused on the skills of solving number problems, being able to talk about how we are the same and different to our friends and family, and joining different materials in a variety of ways.

We have loved using our new Maths resource Numicon for solving maths problems including matching, counting, halving, doubling, adding and taking away.

Beaumont Book Project

The children had a lovely time being interviewed by the Year 8 students from Beaumont, they shared their opinions brilliantly and were very confident in expressing their favourite things about books and stories. 

The children are invited to Beaumont in a couple of weeks' time (letter with more info coming home tomorrow - Thursday 26th June) to receive their finished books.  We look forward to sharing the books with you soon.

This week our theme is the sea.

 

 

 

 In art our skill is learning to using different media to create a planned effect.

 

 In Maths our skill is to say which group has more or less, and to use the language of addition and subtraction.  

 

Visit us again next week to see how we got on!

Following our trip to Paradise Wildlife Park, we have ben focusing on animals, where they live and how they protect themselves.

We made our own zoo on long strips of paper and wrote signs.

We thought about what colours we would need to hide animals best and used natural objects to camouflage them.

 

We thought about the markings on animals and why they have them. We printed and painted animal markings of our own.

 In Nursery, children received Book Start Packs and parents and carers had a chance to look at the Learning Journals.

  

In our PE lessons we have been learning about how to move in different ways and how to land safely.

We had a fantastic trip to Paradise Wildlife Park. The children had lots of fun and were a credit to the school.

 

 

In Foundation Stage we have been learning about People Who Help Us.

We had a visit from the fire brigade.
