The children had lots of fun today working together.We did lots of listening, looking and taking turns . The best part was our story about Louis who would not sit still. We discussed how we sit and why is it important to sit properly. The children also enjoyed hiding the teddy. They had to close their eyes then open them and then do good looking to find him. We also did compliments at the end to encourage the children to think of something another child had done well in the session.
The children were so excited to play with all the activities. They said they cannot wait to read all the books.
The children also enjoyed looking at the rules and seeing what activities we were going to use next.
In FS2, we have been developing our ICT skills.
ICT skills can help promote confidence and also persistence – encouraging pleasure in learning by enhancing engagement, motivation and the lovely desire to learn.
So, after a little introduction on how to use the iPad – off we went and got snappy!
The children loved experimenting, the choice of the subject was entirely up to them, as were the camera angles – natural, self learning is so wonderful to observe.
They decided when they needed to point the camera high…
…when it needed to be low …
…and when we needed to bend down to capture the perfect picture!
The children took photographs of their friends (and teachers!) having fun and being happy…
…photographs of shadows…
…close-up photographs of the frost…
…and our outdoor equipment.
⭐️ We think their photographs are amazing! ⭐️
We have really enjoyed our time this week in our Friendship Groups. We have learnt how to share, how to listen, follow instructions and most of all how to have lots of fun.
We really enjoyed all the exciting activities. We had lots of fun taking it in turns, playing the looking game, listening game, what’s in the bag game and most of all the Lycra game with the bear. In the looking game we all had a different animal on as a mask. It was so funny. We also enjoyed the what’s in our bag game and did lots of laughing.

In one of our digital leaders meetings we looked at Cyber-Bullying, this is a serious thing to do online. It is where someone bullies someone else online. If you for some unacceptable reason, you need to think about how you would feel if you were cyber-bullied as you could have the same feelings as someone else being cyber-bullied. Say if you posted a picture of yourself on social media and you got cyber-bullied for the way you look, it could make you feel insecure about your features and the way you look. If someone is bullying you online, no matter what reason for, then tell a trusted adult and keep the evidence.
If someone was bullying you on a game, don’t hesitate to report them, it could help a lot as they might not just be targeting you. If you were being bullied online, don’t just let them bully you, stand up for yourself. I they don’t leave you alone after that, then tell someone around, whether it is someone you know or not, if they are a trusted adult then they will probably be able to give more advise than anyone else on how to stop them from bullying you. If you are on a game and someone randomly starts cyber-bullying you and there isn’t a report button then maybe figure out the game developers email and tell them that they are bullying you and maybe ask them to ban the person who is bullying you. If they are making you feel upset about what they are saying or worried that maybe it could be happening to someone you know personally or online, then there are lots of people who can help you. Such people are: your teacher, parents, carers or call a ChildLine. Childline will listen to what you have to say and help you. Even if it isn’t repetitive cyber-bullying, it is still not nice to experience or do. So, in that case, stay safe online.
This week we have been searching for Cinderella’s jewels.
Poor Cinderella, when she was getting ready for her wedding to the handsome Prince Charming, the crown slipped from her head and all of the beautiful jewels fell off!
We we searched high and low… digging and scooping, we found some hidden in the mud… they were still sparkly even though they were a little dirty.
Looking here, there and everywhere … look how many we found!
There were even some hidden away in the water… we carefully cleaned and collected them before they went whirling down the drain!
Cinderella will be so happy that we have found all her jewels 💛👑💛
Over the past two lessons, Year 5 have been learning about bullying in our Jigsaw lessons. We have discussed the differences between direct and indirect bullying and examples of both types. In pairs, we have made snakes and ladders games. At the foot of the ladders, we have written ideas for how bullying could be resolved and how we could help people who are being bullied and at the heads of the snakes we have written ways in which bullying could be made worse and different examples of direct and indirect bullying. Once our games were finished, we played them in our groups.
Over the past three weeks, Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed their mindfulness sessions in PE. They have learned techniques for calming themselves down when they’re feeling frustrated or angry and exercises that they can do in the morning to prepare themselves for the day.
