Wiggle and Squiggle

15th May 2025Joshua Meade

In TGB crew today we focused on our core strength, writing letters and crossing the midline. #LovePlover

In crew we learnt that different food has different amounts of energy. We use the energy from our food up when we are active. Food is our fuel. So, if we eat lots and lots of food, we need to use the energy up.

We went outside and used up our energy by doing relay races.

Oakland Care Home Visitors

Thank you to the lovely ladies who came to read stories to our children yesterday. We can’t wait to share our stories with you as part of our final product. #LovePlover

How can we help the Gingerbread Man?

13th May 2025Joshua Meade

After reading the story, the children made predictions of what might happen if the Gingerbread man fell in the river: float, break, snap, melt, turn to liquid, crumble, go soft, sink, make the water brown.

So we did a science experiment to see. We put the Gingerbread man into water and we were correct… he dissolved and went into a soggy mush. After, we thought of different ideas to help the Gingerbread Man so he didn’t fall in the water. #LovePlover

Visitors from Oaklands Care Home

12th May 2025Rebecca Bubb

We are not sure if we loved it more or if our visitors loved it more today? Residents from Oaklands Care Home came to share some stories. Some of them loved reading to the children and some of them loved hearing stories with the children. Ernest used to be a teacher and even taught Mrs Price when she went to school! We showed off our counting too to see if it helped him feel like he was back in the classroom at Hall Cross. We got lots of smiles from him, despite him missing all the skittles when he played bowling with us 🙂

Lizzy loved reading to the children and made lots of friends- Mrs Reeve said she was after her job! There was lots of giggles and joy shared.

We hope to see our new friends at our Celebration of Learning later in the term.

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

Tummy time

8th May 2025Mrs Price

In F2BP this afternoon we did tummy time. This makes our tummy muscles stronger for writing. We listened to music and this will prepare us for re-telling our story tomorrow.

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.

Striking a ball

7th May 2025Mrs Price

In PE today we learnt how to strike the ball. The children rose to the challenge and had a rally with their partner. I was really impressed. Well done F2BP.
