During our topic All About Me, we have been looking closely at our faces and hair colour through our mirrors.
We used our senses to observe different colours and textures to simulate our own hair.
We think we look really handsome.

The Hub children have been exploring the important topic of Online Relationships.
The children worked together to answer questions about which behaviours are safe and which are unsafe whilst online.
The children then discussed why you need to ask permission for some actions you do online in order to keep yourself safe.
We can now give examples of when to ask permission to do something online and explain why this is important.
We had a very interesting discussion today about how religious people treat the world with respect and how we could play our part in caring for the world. Some wonderful talk partners were observed with great idea sharing.
Here are some of the amazing quotes we heard the children say.
“We need to chop some of the trees down and grow some more.”
“If we don’t stop putting rubbish in the sea all the animals might die, and the coral.”
“We could get a bag and pick up rubbish when we see it.”
“There is some charities you can donate to to help.”
“We have bins to recycle.”
“We can recycle cardboard boxes, glass, paper, food, plastic.”
WOW! Following on from our History lesson comparing old and new toys, Evan brought in the most interesting wind up music box with a modern twist.
Evan delivered a wonderful presentation about his little box to our Hub children. He completed our circle time with an amazing question and answering session.
We revisited and demonstrated an understanding of the commutative law of addition today.
We found out that we can change the order of the addends and the sum remains the same.
We played a game, rolling two dice in order to find our addends to complete our sum, demonstrating some wonderful partner work.
We were very brave reading parts of our story, ‘A House in the Woods’, in front of our Hub audience today.
We were able to read accurately by blending the sounds in words with two and three known graphemes. Some of us were able to blend words with up to five known graphemes. We sounded out unfamiliar words accurately and also read some common exception words.
We recorded each other reading and retelling the story then enjoyed watching them back again.
Well done Hubbers, for demonstrating such wonderful speaking and listening!
We listened to various versions of ‘The Wheels on the Bus’, before creating our own.
We researched the song and found out it was published in 1939 as a way to keep children entertained on a bus. Our little Hubbers were very keen to compose their own.
We had lots of fun discussing and creating our own Hub version. Ideas included ‘The wheels on the aeroplane’, ‘the wheels on the lorry’ and the ‘wheels on the tractor’.
We decided on ‘The Wheels on the Tractor.
We created a PowerPoint of our version as we were a little shy to perform our song.
The wheels on the tractor go mummm, mummm, mummm,…………all day long.
The engine on the tractor goes putt, putt, putt………….all day long.
The dog on the tractor goes woof woof woof ………. all day long.
The cow on the tractor goes moo, moo, moo………..all day long.
The farmer on the tractor works, works, works……….all day long.
We displayed good listening skills identifying familiar tunes played by Mrs Foston on her guitar.
The tunes were chosen from a selection of song stones.
We loved our music time and the song stones Mrs Morgan made for us.
All our little ‘Hubbles’ looked amazing in their Pudsey Bear outfits today , fundraising for ‘Children in Need’.
