Hull Fair Day “The Best Day Ever!”

By Jodie Buss20th October 2022

This week we had…”The Best Day EVER!” celebrating the annual event of HULL FAIR!

We talked about our experiences of going to Hull Fair and discussed our favourite bits. We explored our senses of the fair… what can we see, smell, hear, touch and taste!

“I had candy floss, it was pink and soft”- Sara

“I had sausage and chips, it was tasty!”- Ivy

“I saw a Helter Skelter, the slide was going round and round, it was so fast!” -Mason

“There was a big wheel, it’s a giant one!”- Poppy

Following the children’s excitement we held our own fun fair… making chocolate apples, coconut shy, target games, hoops, big building and roller coaster riding! Our children declared it the “the BEST day ever!”

“Who done it?!”

By Jodie Buss13th October 2022

There has been a crime in F2!

The only people who can solve it are our very own detectives! Luckily they were up for the job and wasted no time in the hunt for clues! A broken chair? Porridge oats? And a strand of golden locks??? Who could it be???

We had the best afternoon discovering clues from our story of the week and loved drawing a picture of our discovered culprit to use as posters for our classroom! We had some brilliant discussions and TALK time as a group. We all decided to take our hunt outside…we may have even spotted GOLDILOCKS herself running from the scene of the crime!

We came to the conclusion that she must have smelt the delicious porridge we had been cooking in the morning and decided to sneak a taste whilst we were out over dinner! We think she needs to write a letter of apology!!!

 

This week in F1…

By S Wilkinson7th October 2022

We have had another lovely week in F1 learning all about the story ‘Owl Babies’.

In Maths we have been singing a song called ‘5 Little Owls’ and learning to count down from 5.

This week the children have also been learning the nursery rhyme ‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall’. We now know the songs ‘Twinkle Twinkle little star’, ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ and ‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall’.

On Thursday we celebrated Harvest Festival. The children practised walking sensibly to the hall and we had an assembly talking all about where our food is made. The children also learned the song ‘Big Red Combine Harvester’ and enjoyed joining in with the actions.

Next week we will be learning all about Autumn. We will be reading the story ‘The Leaf Thief’.

For home learning this week the children have been asked to collect some Autumn treasures over the weekend and bring them to school on Monday.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

F1 Staff.

Hot Seating Goldilocks and Baby Bear!

By Jodie Buss6th October 2022

F2 have been reading and learning the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears!’ 

This week we have created our own signifiers to retell the story and have enjoyed acting out the story using props!

This morning Mrs Buss brought in a magic wand and a magical chair! When we sat on the chair we magically transformed into characters from the traditional tale! We loved meeting and chatting to Goldilocks and Baby Bear and thought of some brilliant questions to ask them. We wanted to know “Why Goldilocks ate all of Baby Bear’s porridge?” and “Did she feel sorry for breaking his chair?” Goldilocks was very sorry and said she would help fix it. We had so much fun getting into character and thinking about the story…

We can’t wait to meet and question some more of the characters this week!

F2 Stay and Play!

A BIG thank you to all the parents that attended our Foundation Stage ‘Stay and Play’ session this afternoon! The children and ourselves had a lovely afternoon showing you our classroom and everything we have been busy doing the last few weeks! It was lovely to see the children take such pride and joy in ‘showing off’ their work and learning journey and the parent feedback made us all burst with pride at how amazing the children have worked! Here are a few snaps of our afternoon…Keep your eyes peeled for the next date coming up soon…
