New EYFS outdoor area

24th February 2025Mrs Price

As a team we have been looking at refurbishing the EYFS outdoor area. We have had a design created which looks amazing. We need to raise funds for this through grants and funding bids. If you know of an organisation or company that could support us with this please let us know. We need to raise Ā£62,000.

Many thanks

Colour mixing

12th February 2025Amy Woods

Today we have been exploring colour mixing. We mixed yellow and blue together to create different shades of green, we then used the green we made, to paint leaves. We discussed how we can make the green paint darker/lighter, by adding more blue/yellow. Tomorrow we are going to practise cutting out our leaves, to create a collaborative beanstalk.

Safer internet day in F1

11th February 2025Amy Woods

Today we learnt what to do if a pop up appears on our electronic devices. We looked at the story ā€˜Pop up gremlinsā€™ then made our own pop up gremlins in provision. We learnt the three rules – stop, cross, tell, to ensure we keep ourselves safe online.

What do plants need to grow?

5th February 2025Amy Woods

Today we have been scientists and learnt what plants need to grow. We discussed if we need the same/different things to help us grow.
Shout out to Aaron this morning who said ā€œplants and children are both living thingsā€.

This afternoon we acted out how plants grow with Mrs Bubb. We started of as the tiny seed, and grew into a beautiful plant. We remembered that the roots go down and the shoots go up.

Repeating Patterns

4th February 2025Amy Woods

Yesterday in maths we were looking at extending and spotting errors in ABAB repeating patterns. The children were really good at doing this using the coloured counting bears, so we decided to see if we could get ourselves into a repeating pattern.

Shoutout to Chester that extended his learning by being able to correct and error, in a repeating pattern of 3 colours! Also to Ocean and Kara that worked together to create a repeating pattern using the soft play blocks, during our PE session.

Sequencing Toothbrushing

4th February 2025Amy Woods

Last week we worked on developing our scissor skills. I was so proud at how many children could not only could make snips in paper, but could independently cut out their pictures. Once the pictures were cut out, we had to stick them in the right order, then use our mathematical language (first, then) to explain our sequence and events.

Pride Of Plover

4th February 2025Amy Woods

This week our two pride of Plover winners are Thomas and Mesut! Both boys have really impressed us with their focus and determination, when practising scissor skills in class. Keep working hard!

Thomas is always a kind member of our crew, supporting his peers and having lovely manners.

Mesut has been working hard to improve his listening, and now is engaging much better in adult directed tasks.
