A big thank you

28th February 2024Mrs Price

Thank you to all those who have supported our fundraising this term. We have raised just over £700. 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

28th February 2024Mrs Price

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 Man baking

27th February 2024Mrs Price

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

27th February 2024Amy Wood-Samways

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

27th February 2024Amy Wood-Samways

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.

Crew challenge- build the tallest structure using only your shoes. We had to communicate with eachother, have a go and learn from our mistakes. The boys had a slow start but a big tall finish!

The Plover Palace Ball

23rd February 2024Mrs Price

Glitter, a red carpet, a castle, dancing and lots of fun! We really did have fun this afternoon for our family learning. We welcomed our families to the Plover Palace Ball. Thank you to all those who supported either by attending or by sending their children in some amazing clothes. It was great to see some adults dressed up too.

Here are some photos of the afternoon celebrations.
