Oaklands Care Home Visit
Expert visitor
We loved having Catharine back in from the National Literacy Trust. She shared our key text ‘The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster’ with the children and enjoyed singing a range of rhymes. Catharine very kindly brought all the children a copy of Goldilocks and the three bears to take home as well, to share with their families.

Feel the force!
Today we have been exploring forces, learning 3 key words; force, push and pull. We tested out these forces by using tires and skipping ropes. We discussed how some of us found these quite easy and others more tricky.

There are lots of things you can do to help your child prepare for school. Have a look at the following document for some ideas.

African day
F1 have enjoyed learning all about Africa today. We had lots of fun tasting the orange cake and juice we made yesterday, using African instruments, doing African dancing and African colouring. Thank you to all the parents that supported us by sending their child dressed up, everyone looked amazing.

Baking with Nana Bubb & juice making
We have had a great day today, baking orange cake and making our own orange juice! We even had a special visit from Nana Bubb this morning, as our expedition expert, to help us make the cake. We are so excited to taste them tomorrow for our African celebration day.

Visitors from Oaklands Care Home
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
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.
