CAST Trip

Our visit to the CAST this morning to take part in the Hansel and Gretel workshop, and watch the performance. All children were so very well behaved, I am very proud of them. We had a lovely morning and I think everybody enjoyed it! Thank you to all those parents who helped and to CAST, and National Literacy Trust for this amazing opportunity you gave our nursery children.

Dictionary Dash

4H have been working really hard to improve the pace at which they can find words in a dictionary and writing their own definitions for subject specific vocabulary. It’s amazing how a little bit of healthy competition changes the dynamics of a task!

One day you will be able to find words quicker than I can. For some of you, that day might not actually be very far away! Well done everyone.

Invitation Writing

Yesterday, our children wrote their beautiful invitation for our kindness visitors at the Community Wellness Centre. Inviting them to our EYFS presentation of learning next week. Children then wrote their own invitations on provision. #LovePlover

We are writers!

2P has been working really hard to develop our basic sentence structures by recognising the subject, verb and complement in a sentence. We used our text “We are all Wonders” to help us to use this sentence structure. Great work!

Hansel and Gretel workshop

Wow, what an amazing morning we have had today! We were so lucky to have Kerry and Tash come in from CAST Theatre, to teach us the story of Hansel and Gretel, through drama. The children enjoyed getting into the roles of the different characters and exploring props. Once we had finished we went back to the create doughnuts, for the gingerbread house flooring, which we will see in CAST theatre when we go to visit. We are so excited to go and work with Kerry and Tash again at CAST theatre in a couple of weeks, and watch the performance of Hansel and Gretel.
Mrs Williams was so proud of how well everyone participated in this workshop, and the great respect and integrity all children showed towards our visitors. Well done nursery!

We are writers!

After spending the last few weeks finding out why the Romans lived in what is now known as Doncaster, we are now able to write non-chronological reports about our learning…

We are courageous!

Well done to everyone who stood in front of the class and spoke about the information they had collated about the Romans and how they founded Doncaster – then known as Danum. It takes a lot of courage to speak to a large group of children, so you really do need to be proud of yourself if you have been able to be brave enough to do this!

Keep being courageous 4H!

5S are dramatic!

As a hook into our writing about the Amazon Rainforest, children today imagined, then enacted, their senses and emotions as they took a hike through the dense jungle.

Many children were nervous, apprehensive and scared, while others showed excitement for their adventure. It was great to hear you be so descriptive about your range of feelings, I can’t wait to read about them in your diary entries!

Level Up!

A big well done to these children who levelled up on Reading Plus this week – keep practicing – I look forward to giving you another certificate soon!
