Shepherds and Christingles

Our superstars this week are:


Millie and Zeke

for resilience and reflectiveness.  Well done both of you.

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

This week we were really lucky to be able to welcome some people from Norwich Cathedral.  Unfortunately we were not able to host Catfield and Hickling but hopefully we can organise another federation day soon.

We had the best morning, we learnt how to be shepherds and look after our sheep.  We walked through a special scene and then listened to and watched the story of Jesus being the good shepherd.




























After playtime we took part in finding out about another special story that involves sheep, this was the Nativity story.  We travelled through the story carrying out different activities to help tell it.  We really did have a wonderful time and the ladies said that we were very well behaved and they couldn't believe we have only been in school for a term!


























































On Friday we learnt about Christingles and what they are for.  We made our own and then took part in our outside Christingle service.  It was windy so we were not able to light our Christingles but we had seen them alight when we made them.

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.
