The children worked really hard during PE on Wednesday to learn a fire work dance.
They followed instructions really well and moved with control and coordination. They even improvised their own movements to look like fireworks. I was very impressed.

Well done children.
We have been learning about the number 3 this week.
First we played hide and seek with the number 3 numicon. Mrs Wilkinson hid 3 pieces of number 3 numicon around the garden. We had to count to 20 and then we could go and find it.
Then we took it in turns to hide it and find it.
After we were worn out from running around the garden, we used the chalks to write number 3 and drew around the large number 3 numicon.
Can you see the towers we made? 3 towers with 3 blocks.
Finally, we went to find 3 leaves from around the garden to give to Mrs Wilkinson.
These activities helped us with our gross motor skills – running around in a controlled way and not bumping into our friends, and building towers.
As well as our fine motor skills – drawing and writing the number 3.
They also help us with our maths skills – counting when we were playing hide and seek, identifying the number 3 and using it practically.
But most of all, our social and communication skills – taking turns, working as a team, helping each other have fun and discussing everything we were doing.
We had lots of fun, playing and learning. Great Job FS
The children have been exploring Autumn this week. We have been talking about the changes that happen when the season starts. We listened to ‘Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn’ by Kenard Pak and talked about the story.
The children have made some beautiful leaf print pictures and created fabulous collages using Autumn colours.
The have also been drawing Autumn trees and pumpkins in the garden.
The children loved exploring the textures of the slimy pumpkin and the crunchy leaves.
We have also been learning what the words hibernation and migration mean.
I wonder what other signs of Autumn you might see when you’re out and about.
The children had a brilliant dance lesson. They have been using the new dance equipment to help them move more enthusiastically. We imagined we were different types of weather and the children came up with their own movements to express how they thought it moved. Can you tell which type of weather we are thinking about in the photos? We moved like the rain, wind, snow, storms, and even a tornado. When moving like snow the children moved slowly and calmly. When moving like a storm the children planted their feet firmly so they didn’t blow away and waved their arms rapidly.
A great dance lesson boys and girls. Well done
In FS2 we have been learning about people who help us in school. We wanted to know where we could find these people in school, so we made a simple map to help us find them.
Grace told us her mum uses maps when she is driving and Charlie told us you can use a map to help you find your way to things.
First we looked at the school on Google Earth.
We talked about the things which are near school that we could see on the satellite picture, we also switched to the map to see what it looked like when we used a real map.
We then had a go at marking on, a simple map of the school, where the people who help us can be found. We marked on Mrs Marson’s office, the main school office, the site team office and the Kitchen. We also marked on where our classroom is.
Some children then went exploring with our map, to check we had made it correctly. They took the map around the school and found all of the places we had marked. They then reported back to the rest of the children in the classroom, how they used the map to help them find their way around school.
After our lesson about the maps, some children decided to draw their own map of the school too.
Hi everyone…
Have a go at this weeks task, don’t forget to send us any videos on tapestry.
We have been talking about people who help us in school this week. Mrs Marson came to talk to us about how she helps us. She keeps us safe and talks to parents a lot. She looks after the staff in the school and makes sure they are teaching us the right things. She helps us follow the rules too.
We also looked at pictures of other people in school who help us.
We talked about the cooks who help us at lunch time, and the different jobs they have.
We talked about Mrs George in the office and what a busy day she has.
We talked about Mrs Garner who can help us if we are feeling sad.
We also talked about the site team, who keep our building safe for us.
We also met Mrs Walker who helps us at breakfast club, at lunch time, and helps to keep our school clean.
We are very lucky to have such a fabulous team of people who are looking after us and who are making sure we learn and grow.
A big THANK YOU to them all.
Today we started learning the story of the gingerbread man off by heart. We then had a go at some of the gingerbread man activities in the classroom.
The children loved learning the story. Look out for the videos of them telling the story independently.
