Wow… what a performance.
The children did so well learning the songs, saying their lines and performing in front of the school and their families. We are so proud of each and every one of them for their hard work. It is quite tricky remember all the song words, where to go on the stage and all the while smiling and being the best angel or tree or hailstone!
A huge WELL DONE too all the children who took part in Foundation stage 2 and Year 1.
Here are a few photos of some of the the superstars.
Working hard to create some special surprised today in F1…
When we looked in our special bag today, Harriet thought she spotted a bag of sugar but Charlotte said it was ‘powder’. Eva guessed it was flour. She was right.
Then we found a tub of salt. Mrs Silverwood thought it might be sugar but tasted a little bit, it wasn’t very nice at all! Elliot said that his Grandad likes salt.
We looked at the instructions, which told us how to make salt dough. We thought it was a bit like play dough but, instead of putting it away when we have finished making things, we can bake them and keep them forever!
The children used their growing motor-skills to knead the dough and then roll it out.
Everyone will have to wait and see the finished article though!
F2 started off the day with ‘Wellness Wednesday’ drinking pink milk and having a chat with biscuits! We counted the scoops of magic as the milk turned a yummy strawberry pink and tasted delicious!
When we looked outside we saw that the weather had suddenly changed and it had begun to SNOW! Mrs. Read and Mrs. Buss were very excited! As well as all of the children!!! We quickly stopped all of our activities and got wrapped up ready to explore the snow!
We had so much fun whirling and twirling in the snowflakes and couldn’t help but sing along with the boom box to some snowy tunes, ‘Let it go’ a firm favourite!
We loved exploring the snow and talking about the weather. The temperature has definitely got colder the last few weeks and we have been able to see that in our Foundation garden. Lots of us enjoyed going on a ‘ice hunt’ and looking for ice in the garden and mud kitchen. We explored how it felt, what happened when we held it tightly and how the ice had frozen leaves on the floor!
This exploration led to lots of chat and discussion when we went back inside to warm up. We talked about what ice was and explored using a bucket of ice we had collected. We realised as it started to drip that ice was just frozen water and that when it melted it turned back into water! The children loved looking at huge pieces of ice, icebergs, on the computer and in some of our books in the classroom!
Another “best day” according to Archie, what could be better than biscuits, pink milk and snow!!!!
F1 used some great control and coordination today when we made a ‘tree’ for our owl babies to live in. We worked hard to use positional language too when we were planning on where to put our sticks and twigs.
Trixie took on the role of mother owl and few off to go hunting for food, just like in the story of Owl Babies. Great work!
Today F1 made crispy buns that looked like nests!

Thank you to all the parents and carers that were able to join us today. The children loved having you here and showing you all that we do.
F2 have been reading the story ‘You must bring a hat‘ by Simon Philips!
As part of our WOW day the children wrote invitations to the biggest, “bestest” hat party of them all… and guess what everyone was invited! We thought about what would make a great party…’sandwiches, balloons, dancing‘ and of course the main requirement… HATS!
The children wore some amazing hats and paraded them around in our ‘HAT-WALK’ dancing and singing as they went! The morning was filled with games, singing, fun and hats and we had plenty of party food and balloons!
The children enjoyed describing their hats to one another and exploring how they were all so very different…just like them!
Our little superheroes have had fun burning off some energy after a very exciting Children in Need day…
There was only this toy in our special bag this morning but Harriett knew that it could spin round and round. Who knew that it would change colour as it whizzed round though!
