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.

Blending

12th May 2025Amy Woods

Today we have been working hard on our oral blending . We had to say the sound in each hoop, before blending it together to say the whole word.

Who’s trip trapping over my bridge?!

9th May 2025Amy Woods

For case study 1 we have been looking at the key text, The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. After reading the story, we collaboratively created a story map, before acting it out ourselves in small groups.
The children showed great courage in acting out the roles infront of their peers.

Positional Language

9th May 2025Amy Woods

F1 have been learning positional language through the story of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We then practised understanding position through words alone, without using visual prompts. Our key words were; under, on top, over, next to, behind and infront.

VE Day

9th May 2025Amy Woods

We had a lovely day celebrating VE Day in F1. We used repeating patterns to make flags and spoke about why we celebrate VE Day. Our 30 hour children also enjoyed a picnic on the school field for their dinner.

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.

A big thank you

We would like to say a very big thank you to Mekaal’s dad for donating some indoor and outdoor footballs. The children were very excited to see the footballs and are looking forward to playing with them later.

Our favourite characters – dress up day!

24th April 2025Amy Woods

It’s been so lovely to see everyone dressed up as their favourite characters today, and talk about our favourite books. Well done to Conor and James who won our prizes this morning for the best homemade costumes, and to Astral and Maria who won this afternoon. Well done to everybody who worked to on their handmade costumes, they were all amazing!
