As part of our work on British Values in crew we have been learning about democracy. This is what the children said democracy meant to them.

Testing Materials

24th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

After reading The Three Billy Goats Gruff, we read the story The Three Billy Goats Fluff. In that story, the goats were knitted some boots to help them trip trap over the bridge more quietly, so that they did not disturb the troll. First we had a go at making loud and quiet sounds with our own bodies. We were then scientists and tested a range of materials to see if they helped the goats cross our bridge more quietly, then decided how we could use these to help the goats. We used the BSL signs for agree and disagree, when predicting if the materials would be loud of quiet.

Building Bridges

24th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

This week we have used soft play and building blocks to create our own bridges for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We acted out trip trapping over our own bridges in soft play and used small world figures to test our our bridges in the construction area.

Roots of Empathy!

24th January 2024Mrs Renwick

This week in F2 we had a visit from Baby T. The children really enjoyed learning about what he can do and seeing his responses to the different toys. They loved the smiles he made when they sang to him. We look forward to his next visit!

Pride Of Plover

Well done to Kara and Farhan, our yellow T-shirt winners this week!
Kara has settled beautifully into nursery life this week, following routines and getting on with her learning. She is a kind friend and a fabulous new edition to our crew.
Farhan has done some absolutely fantastic maths work over the past week, completing and creating repeating patterns. He has also shown a great work ethic in phonics, trying his best to blend and segment words in large group time.

We Are Storytellers

17th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

Today we re told the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We discussed key vocabulary then practised the key phrases that are repeated throughout the text. It was lovely to see children continuing this in their own provision, after we had done it as a whole class.

KS1 Thursday

17th January 2024Stuart Longley

Tomorrow, we will have the opportunity to work with DMBC Street Scene to begin planting our Mini Orchard and hedges in the KS1 area.

Children will be outside for short periods tomorrow. Please could we ask that all children have hat, gloves and a coat. If children have wellies, it would be great if they could be sent in to school in a plastic bag to allow the children to change their footwear.
