Run, run as fast as you can!

During outdoor play, the children read clues to find the Gingerbread Man. They used their phonics skills to sound out words. They read the clues and were successful in finding the Gingerbread Man. He will be hiding again tomorrow and there will be more clues to find!

EYFS- Celebration of learning- 15th March!

We are so excited to invite all of our parents and carers to our celebration of learning on the 15th March at 2pm. Our children have been working so hard this term as part of our Expedition ‘once upon a time, who is hiding in the pages of the book’. The children have been raising money to gift to the children’s hospital, Kiddiwinks and other local groups. We hope to see you there!

F2 Pride of Plover

Lacey-Jayne and Emilia won Pride of Plover this week for kindness. They both spread kindness in F2 and look after people. They brighten up our days with their huge smiles!

A big thank you

Thank you to all those who have supported our fundraising this term. We have raised just over ÂŁ700. We are going to buy books to create book baskets for places in the community, books for the children’s wards in the hospital and Kiddiewinks. We are also going to add to our reading for pleasure books that the children take home and all our EYFS children will have their own book.

If you know of a venue in the local area that would like a basket of books for children to read/share at the venue please let us know.

Decorating biscuits

The children decorated the biscuits ready to take home. They were careful in how and where they put the icing. We hope they enjoyed eating them.

Gingerbread men decorating!

For those of you who ordered, we hope you enjoy sharing your gingerbread men this evening! The children worked hard decorating them. Thank you for supporting our expedition.

Gingerbread Man baking

We had 2 expert bakers to visit us to teach us how to make Gingerbread men. We learnt new words and remembered ingredients and equipment. We then had a go at baking some. We weighed the ingredients, rubbed the butter into the flour, mixed in the other ingredients and made the dough. We rolled and cut and baked. Finally, we ate them. They were delicious!

Summer Expedition

After the Easter holidays our expedition will be based around the guiding question “what happens when the sea meets the shore?” As part of this we will be talking about children’s experiences of visiting the seaside. If you are out and about anywhere over the Easter holidays, or have any old holiday photos of your child, we would appreciate it if you could share these with your class teacher. These can be shared via Evidence Me or a printed copy, so that they can use these to support their learning.

Thank you, EYFS team

Expert Baker

Yesterday we had nana Bubb and grandma Sherene in as expert bakers, to show us how to bake gingerbread. They taught us lots of clever baking tips and explained the process of measuring the ingredients to us and we discussed how the ingredients changed state. We practised kneading the dough ready for making our own.

After watching nana Bubb and grandma Sherene we had a go at baking our own gingerbread men, following a recipe. We spoke about the measurements we needed and the importance of washing our hands first. We practised using our mathematical language, such as first and then, and used our senses to feel/smell/touch the ingredients.
