Sensory Garden

By Mrs J BRANSTON22nd October 2020

What an amazing week we have had in the Hub. We have done lots of different activities and lots of physical team work. We loved reading ” Ted falls out of bed” and learning all the different nouns.

We also got our certificates which made us so proud.

Outside we enjoyed the balancing bikes and learning how to balance on them.We also enjoyed playing with the foam and talking about all the different textures. We wrote letters and made lots of different patterns using our fingers.We managed to do good sitting ,good listening and good looking and got an amazing treat .We iced gingerbread men and then we enjoyed eating them afterwards.It was a very exciting time in the hub this week and we really enjoyed it.

Exploring Autumn 🍂🍁🍂

By Mrs E WILKINSON20th October 2020

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.

FS Dance

By Mrs E WILKINSON15th October 2020

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

Wet Chalk Artwork

By Mrs L READ14th October 2020

This week, F2 have been making the most of the wet weather

by experimenting with chalk.

We loved how the colours mixed together when we added more water…

… and we saw how the colours looked brighter when they were wet.

The texture became thick and tacky when we used a brush on the wet chalk…

…and we noticed how wet and dry chalk just looked different,

but most of all, we enjoyed making our own fabulous artwork creations.

 

 

F2 Forest School

By Mrs L READ13th October 2020

 F2 enjoyed another Forest School session of mud painting today.

Collecting leaves and herbs and sticking them to our sticks can be a tricky, we had to really concentrate and with a little bit of help we all made terrific mud brushes.

Mixing mud and adding magic colour is fun… the children were amazed at the beautiful colours we made today.

We used our brushes and mud paint to make these fabulous creations!

What do you think of them?
