Our Outdoor Area

Our Beautiful new outdoor area is all set and ready to explore.

Rosary

Our Mini Vinnies' came to visit our class and explained beautifully to the children how we use the Rosary Beads, shared the Prayers with us and then used the Holy Water from Ladywell to form the sign of the cross on the children's foreheads. 

Life Education

Steve and Harold came to Visit this week and we learnt all about our bodies and how important it is to look after ourselves. We talked about the parts of the body we cant physically see and how to protect them. We enjoyed meeting Harold the Giraffe!

Vets Visit

Lucy and Stephen came to visit us and talked to us about caring for our pets at home, how we can keep them safe and healthy and what to do if they need more help.

Creepy Crawly Man Visit to School

The children really enjoyed learning about the stick insect, millipede and the snake. The children enjoyed holding or standing close to the Snake.

Fine Motor

This week we have worked really hard with our Fine Motor skills which helps with our pencil grip, letter formation and name writing.

Key Stage Worship

The children enjoy Worship each week with Mrs Bottomley

Repeating Patterns

The children enjoyed using our Autumnal objects to create repeating patterns

Daily Worship

After lunch each day we gather together to hear about all the wonderful things Jesus did for us. We start by lighting the candle and making the sign of the cross before listening to a Gospel reading from the Bible and reflecting on this. We end with a prayer and quiet music.

R.E

Today we talked about how God made each and everyone of us and loves everyone as a unique individual. We talked about Baptism and how we are welcomed into the Church. 

Bug Hunt

The children enjoyed exploring the outdoor area looking for Bugs and using our checklist.

R.E

We have been talking about how God created us, our hand prints, facial features and names are all different and unique to us.

Storytime

The children enjoyed sharing stories (and biscuits) with a member of their family in class, we also showed off our fantastic Phonics and introduced them all to Fred Frog!

Letter Formation

The children have been learning new sounds in Read Write Inc and forming letters using the correct phrase.

Sorting 

The children worked in small groups to sort themselves into different groups. We sorted boys and girls, wearing a blazer and not, eye colour, skirt and trousers and much more different ways.

Fred Games

The children have enjoyed looking at and joining in with Fred Frog and helping him to blend sounds together. We especially like the 'Party' game.

PSHE

The children listened to 'The Colour Monster' story and talked about the different emotions in the story. 

P.E

The Children really enjoyed their first P.E lesson, they had to show basic shapes using their bodies, show simple rolling movements and travel on their hands and feet.
