Pond Habitats

This week the children have been enjoying finding out about the lifecycle of a frog and about the habitat they live in. The children designed some brilliant pond habitats that included food sources, protection from predators, shelter for frogspawn and tadpoles and a source of fresh water.

Here are some of the children’s ideas.

Reading Plus

This week some children in Year 1 and 2 have been enjoying trying our new reading platform, ‘Reading Plus.’ The children have gone home covered in stickers for their hard work and they have loved improving their comprehension and vocabulary. Keep it up everyone!

Beautiful Work

We Care Crew – discussing how we respect LGTB community and made a supportive poster! Beautiful home learning from Sreelakshmi, Siyar, Elisa, Kaya, Esme and Lacey. Well done to all superstars working hard in reading and PE! #LovePlover

Pond Habitats 🐸

This afternoon, 1/2K created our own pond. We discussed what we would need to create our pond. We found out we would need fresh water (not salt water), plants and rocks.

World Book Day 2024

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March.

It would be lovely to see the children dressed up as their favourite book character, but please don’t feel like you have to rush out and buy a costume!

£1 Book Vouchers will be given to children on the day which can be spent in most supermarkets and book shops, but we do also have a Book Fayre coming into school the following week, and children can put their voucher towards the cost of a book at that event – more details to follow soon.

More information can be found on https://www.worldbookday.com

SAVE OUR SEAS!

This afternoon in 1/2K we learned about pollution in more detail. We learned that pollution is usually rubbish that has been dumped into the rivers and carried out to sea. We found out that it can end up in the deepest part of the ocean; The Mariana Trench. We practiced our recycling by sorting different objects into plastic, metal and paper. Then we created posters to help raise awareness about sea pollution and what it is doing to the animals.

Fundamental Movements!

During our PE session with Coach Adam we began our next unit of PE.. Dance! To start we warmed up our bodies moving around the space like different animals. The children loved moving around like frogs which links to our current expedition. Coach Adam challenged the children to hold different balance positions as well as different ways to move around. He then added obstacles and special challenges to make it more challenging.
Well done to Corben, Jaxon and Bailey who were our PE stars of the day. 🌟
