All about pumpkins!

Our superstars this week are:

Evie and Ronnie

for resilience and responsibility.  Well done both of you.

Birthday wishes, this week, go to Charlotte and Teddie, who both stood up and blew out the candles on our school Birthday cake. 

This week it has all been about the pumpkins.  We have had such a great few weeks looking at pumpkins and loved them so much that we have had another week with them.

We had three big pumpkins in class, a white one and two orange ones, Mrs. Holmes' little girl also made us some play dough that smelt of pumpkin, it smelt delicious.

At the beginning of the week we scooped out the insides of the two orange pumpkins, used lots of natural objects to stir up inside them, counted seeds, and talked about what the seeds are for.  We liked putting things inside so we started to pour in water to see what happened, Miss. Grimmer gave us some coloured water to use too, we are so lucky.

At the end of the week we used gloop with the pumpkins too.  We had great fun!

In maths we have looked at the numbers 1, 2 and 3.  We have found different objects that represent these numbers, Mrs. Holmes, Miss. Grimmer and Miss. Tovell couldn't believe how many things we found and how inventive we all were.

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

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.
