On Friday F1 dressed up as a phonics sound, as a hook ready to start RWI phonics today. We spoke about what sound we were dressed as, did some letter pencil control sheets, oral blending and rhyming.

Thank you to professional footballer Joe Leesley of JLResilience. He came in this week and motivated our children about his football journey, the hard work he puts in to keep his body healthy and how much fun he has playing football, as well as coaching football. Our children loved scoring goals! #LovePlover

Favourite Sport Democracy

17th January 2025Joshua Meade

Yesterday, we discussed how important exercise and sports is for us to keep healthy. We chose 5 sports that children like to do and then each child could vote once for their favourite. We used a bit of maths to make a bar chart to show our results… and the winner was, SWIMMING! #LovePlover

Gymnastics in F2

14th January 2025Joshua Meade

We used our head, hand and heart in PE today to help us – think about balancing sequences, balance with control and have the confidence to make shapes using their bodies. We linked it to our expedition and the children came up with movements linked to a baby, toddl

Hand Washing

14th January 2025Amy Woods

This week as part of our expedition, we are looking at what we can do to keep our bodies healthy. Today we focussed on learning to wash our hands properly, to stop germs getting into our tummies. We used glitter to represent the germs and noticed that it we just put our hands in the water, the glitter did not come off. We then used soap to wash our hands and the glitter all came off. We spoke about how you need to wash between your fingers and your wrists too.

How does our body grow?

14th January 2025Joshua Meade

In expedition yesterday, we were scientists. We drew around Thea’s body. We talked about ways we look after different parts of our bodies, how we can stay healthy and who can help us keep healthy. The children shared some brilliant ideas. #LovePlover
