Birch 1 Wonderful Week
Birch 1 have been role playing taking part in Shabbat, in RE. The children have been planting seeds in Science and will watch what happens when they grow. They have also been using the wooden letters to spell words in English.
Beautiful Butterflies in Acorns
Acorns got creative this week, they used bubble wrap to create their very own butterfly pictures.
The children made a big butterfly and used their gross motor skills by jumping … the bubble wrap went ‘pop’.
For their smaller butterflies they used their hands to pat, press and explore the texture.
Pine 2’s Wellbeing Day
During Wellbeing Day Pine 2 completed a range of fun activities. They talked about the importance of exercise and healthy eating. They completed an assault course in the hall and explored their physical abilities riding bikes, playing ball games and joining in with go noodle activities. During the afternoon the children discussed healthy eating. They explored the fruit using their senses. The children then got creative and made their own fruit pictures. Once they were finished they enjoyed eating the fruit.
Ice Cream in Fir 2!
This week the children have had lots of fun learning about money. In circle time they participated in shop role play and sorting coins by colour. Next week Fir 2 will be setting up their own ice cream shop!
Birch 1’s visit to Mesnes Park
On Tuesday, Birch 1 went for an Educational Visit to Mesnes Park in Wigan. They all had a lovely time, and loved feeding the birds (and the pigeons), they all got very excited when they ate the bird seed! After that the children enjoyed playing on the playground with their friends and having a picnic lunch.
Learning in Ash 1
What a fantastic week Ash 1 have had, with lots of learning taking place! We learnt all about heavy and light and used balance scales to explore weight. Our story is ‘Aliens love underpants’ so we identified characters, designed and made our own spaceships and aliens, linking to our story. In PE, we explored the sensory circuits and the different ways we could move along the equipment. Then in Science we explored dead flowers, focusing on why flowers need water and sunlight to grow before taking part in a Shabbat celebration for RE. Finally, our letter of the week in phonics is ‘d’ so we learnt the letter sound and practiced our writing skills!
The Very Hungry Acorns
Acorns have enjoyed listening to the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and been very busy with activities linked to some of the foods the caterpillar ate.
Berries “one slice of Swiss cheese”!
Berries have enjoyed making edible caterpillars in fun with food. They used celery, cream cheese and grapes.
Just like The Hungry Caterpillar on Saturday, they enjoyed tasting the cheese!
