Class 1 parents had a lovely afternoon... From trying various menu options for school lunch (Keri's issuing her curry recipe if you're interested!), playing outside on the field and then Miss Smale held an informal phonics presentation too. Hope no one fell asleep after lunch - that pudding was amazing too!
We had such fun yesterday afternoon learning all about staying safe on the Internet and 'stranger danger'. With a bit of help from Sid, Lee and Kim we all became 'Super Protectors' and made our own badges. We also danced along to SID's song!
Today we have started a science experiment called 'bean in a bag'. We each put a bean into a sealed bag with a piece of damp kitchen roll, we then hung our bags up around the class. Over the next few days, our beans should begin to grow! We have been wondering if there will be a magic bean...maybe we [...]
In class one we have been reading the story Jack and the Beanstalk. We found what looks like a giant's footprint in our classroom! We decided to measure it to see how big the foot was. We measured it to be 27 blocks long - and Emmie used a measuring tape and found it was 54cm! That's a very big [...]
After a tiring morning, playing lions in the sand pit (that's Isla) and princesses in the Wendy House, the children would have been hungry! Lunch today was ever so slightly early so that we could show our new Reception children how the lunch hall works and help them choose. ALL of them said please and thank you too, albeit very, [...]

We can't wait [...]

You may have seen Mrs Ivall collecting Class 3 from the playground occasionally these past two weeks... but Miss Smale had her first afternoon with her class and children today in our school's 'Shift-Up Afternoon.' Shift-up afternoons give a great opportunity for our children to see and experience [...]
Class 1 are getting very confident with their number bonds to 10 with the help of Farmer Pete! https://youtu.be/571ceUrO8oE&rel=0 We performed our wonderful number bonds song to Stepping Stones with the help of Henry's Daddy Martin, who morphed into our very own Farmer Pete who kept losing his sheep! Thank you Martin for your bravery!!

Here are just a few of the great ideas for themes that they suggested: People who help us - fire station, police station, doctors surgery, hospital, school Things [...]
