Who’s trip trapping over my bridge?!

9th May 2025Amy Woods

For case study 1 we have been looking at the key text, The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. After reading the story, we collaboratively created a story map, before acting it out ourselves in small groups.
The children showed great courage in acting out the roles infront of their peers.

Positional Language

9th May 2025Amy Woods

F1 have been learning positional language through the story of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We then practised understanding position through words alone, without using visual prompts. Our key words were; under, on top, over, next to, behind and infront.

F1 Are Musicians

9th May 2025Amy Woods

Today we have learnt how to play instruments with increasing control, to express ideas. First we listened to the beat and clapped it out, before applying this with the instruments. We used agogo’s and drums to tap out a familiar rhythm, to our current expedition song ‘trip trip trap’. The children did amazing, and knew to out them straight down once they had finished.

VE Day

9th May 2025Amy Woods

We had a lovely day celebrating VE Day in F1. We used repeating patterns to make flags and spoke about why we celebrate VE Day. Our 30 hour children also enjoyed a picnic on the school field for their dinner.

VE Day Celebrations

8th May 2025Mrs Graves

What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.

After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!

We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.

VE Celebrations in F2M

8th May 2025Joshua Meade

We learnt about the history of VE day and why we celebrate it. Then we made VE crowns, flags and banners. We played lots of bowling games. We enjoyed a proper British picnic and listened to music to remember VE day. #LovePlover

F2BP VE day celebrations

8th May 2025Mrs Price

We learnt about VE day and listened to some songs which the children danced to. We then made medals to remind us of the war heroes. We enjoyed our picnic on the field too. We learnt to play hopscotch like the children in the war would have played.
