Remembrance day and Jackson Pollock

 Our superstars this week are:

Billy and Sophie

for reflectiveness and responsibility.  Well done both of you.

We began our week working in our house teams and thinking about Gender Equality.  We talked about what we would like to be when we get older too.  Everybody thought it would be unfair to say that somebody could not be something because they were not the correct gender.  It was a very interesting day.

During topic time we found out about the artist, Jackson Pollock, we then made some art in his style.  We enjoyed using the pipettes to drop paint on to the paper and used the brushes to splatter the paint.

A further thing we found out about was Remembrance Day; we watched some short animations about why we celebrate it.  Some of us made our own poppies by cutting and sticking the petals and leaves, some of us worked in our finger gym area and used the tweezers to pick up buttons then place them on to the large poppy pictures.

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.
