A busy second week - with lots of firsts!

This week we have been reading the story "The Colour Monster goes to School".  We were surprised when he was worried because we know that school is great fun!
We have made our own monsters from playdough, collage, cutting and sticking, and drawing.

Also, this week, we began having a special helper for the day.  This person rings the bells when it is tidy up time, they get our snack bar ready, clean the table and tidy up after snack, and they read out the names from our 5Rs sticker board.  Being the special helper is a really important job!

On Wednesday we decided that we would like to try Collective Worship with all the big children.  Mrs. Holmes and Miss. Grimmer were proud of how we walked into the hall, sat and listened carefully, and walked out sensibly.

During Friday Family Worship two of us were awarded certificates, these were:

Alfie and Zeke

They received them for reflectiveness and responsibility.  Well done boys.

Kodie helped three of the Year 2s blow out the candles on the birthday cake too.

We have had a wonderful second week in school, it's like we've been here forever!

Outdoor learning and school council

Image
We have had another very busy week in Red Class.  We have been learning our harvest songs with Keystage 1, chasing bubbles, voting for our school council representatives, year 2 house captains and year 1 vice captains.  We have had our first P.E lesson (which we LOVED), we have been learning new sounds and tricky words, and on Friday we had our first outdoor learning session (another lesson that we LOVED!)  It has been a really busy, exciting week, also tiring for our little 4 and 5 year old bodies. Many children, from our class, bravely stood up and told the whole school why they would like to be our school council representatives.  Everybody was proud of how brave they were and of the ideas that they had.  After a whole school vote we would like to congratulate our class school council members Charlotte and Kodie Well done to you both, they will be taking part in their first meeting next week. Our superstars this week are: Byron and  Millie for resilien...

Foam, writing, the number 5 and The Gruffalo

Image
Our superstars this week are: Freddie  and George for responsibility and resilience.  Well done both of you. In one of our tuff trays we have a wintry scene, we have enjoyed using the foam and discovering the animals that have been hiding. We have all been spending time writing on our whiteboards, we have been choosing to do this a lot so Mrs. Holmes and Miss. Grimmer has given us some notebooks.  We have really enjoyed using these and spend lots of time copying our sounds and tricky words. In maths we have been learning about the number 5, we designed birthday cakes for Kipper as it was his fifth birthday. This week we had our first ever school trip.  We sat beautifully on the coach and behaved impeccably all morning.  We thought the Gruffalo was fantastic, we all enjoyed joining in with the singing, repeated refrains and dancing.  The Gruffalo even wanted to come home with us but we had to say no, he was too big and wouldn't fit into our uniform!

Our first P.E lesson

Image
Today we had our first P.E lesson.  Everyone was so excited, Millie even warmed up for it in the morning, our lesson wasn't until the afternoon. We had great fun playing traffic lights and beans to warm up.  We then showed our fantastic balancing skills by putting a tennis ball on to the centre of our racquet and trying to walk with it.  We worked independently and in pairs. You can see all the fun that we had in our pictures.
