Primary - Forest School Transformation

11 images

The Early Years team have been very busy the last couple of days transforming our new forest school area. We walked across to visit them and were amazed by how fantastic it looked! So far they had created a den area, a mud kitchen, a shelter area and secret paths. We were very excited to see how different it looked and can’t wait until it has finished so we can use it on a weekly basis.

Primary - Traffic

26 images

As we are learning about vehicles this week, we designed our own traffic survey sheet and wrote ourselves what vehicles we wanted to see on the road. We recorded all the vehicles we could see and we even got some waves and beeps off the big lorries!’. We also went to visit the building site of the new skateboard park. We looked at the cranes and what vehicles they were using to build it, spoke to the man in charge about how he was making the park and he told us about the different parts of the cranes and how they were used. We are looking forward to our trip next week to learn more about vehicles.

Primary - Goldilocks and the Three Bears

50 images

We have really enjoyed our ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ topic this half term. We made porridge just like the three bears had and we tried it with different toppings – sugar, honey and jam. We talked about what each one tasted like and which one we liked the best. We also planned how we would make a new chair for baby bear and then made one for him in groups in our Forest School session. Goldilocks visited our classroom and made a mess in it and then stole our bears, we had to go into the woods to find them and then think of different ways we could rescue them as Goldilocks had left them in the trees. When we rescued the bears we listened to what they said and then wrote and drew where they had been and all the questions we wanted to ask Goldilocks. We have been keeping a look out for Goldilocks ever since!
