Week Beginning 20.11.2017

So evil 'Shredder' has been up to no good as we suspected last week...
Class One received a letter form Shredder saying that all four of the Ninja Turtles had been taken hostage by him and there were never to be seen again!

                                                      Oh noooo! Donnie is in trouble!

Of course children didn't like to know that their favourite superheroes were in trouble so they set off on a quest to free the poor Ninjas...

                                                             "We can save them!"


In PE we have learnt a new parachute game called 'The Cat and The Mouse'. The mouse crawls under the parachute whilst the cat crawls on top trying to find and catch the mouse. The children help the mouse by shaking the parachute so the cat can't see where the mouse might be hiding....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meet Robi the Robot, our phonics friend. He can only speak in sounds and eat words. One child sounded out the words to him and fed them through his mouth. Another child read the words coming through the mouth.

 

 

 

More PE this week and we got to use all our balancing skills we have been developing at different heights as Mr Knights got all of the apparatus out, including the wall bars.

 

 

 

Great skills everyone well done.

 

 

Finally we concluded our work on turtles by making and sampling their favourite food...Pizza!!!

 

Yummy.

 

 

Have a lovely weekend everybody.

Week Beginning 13.11.2017

What an eventful week. This week we have continued to follow the children's interests on the Ninja Turtles and sea turtles theme and have consolidated lots of new learning. Some children really enjoyed dressing up as Donnie, Mickey, Leo and Raph; there were many creative ideas buzzing in the classroom that kept everybody busy, excited and focused.
Just watch this space as evil Shredder might be up to no good...........

Well done to Martha for persevering in this task which involved measuring and ordering the turtles.

Independent art work for our classroom is on its way. "Turtles have a shell and it's hard".

'Hands on' on the sounds we have learnt so far.

 Weaving the turtles.

A busy Ninja trying to catch the baddies on his truck.

Happy birthday to R and thank you for sharing CLYDE the caterpillar with us.

Busy Turtles writing birthday cards for R.....

"I'm going to draw a heart and write Happy Birthday"



Our cookery session this week involved cutting and shaping fruit into turtles.

Can you see what we have used?

Turtles of the not so edible kind too.

Even our maths sessions have involved turtles, building 3D models and 2D pictures.

In phonics this week, we have been practising writing lots of words.
We are now well and truly ready to move onto our next set of sounds next week.


Mr Knights PE session this week and the children showed us what fantastic gymnasts they all are.

 

Finally, what a way to end the week our Countryside Ramble for Pudsey and our playground appeal, followed by tea and cake in the hall.  What a fantastic afternoon.
Thank you to everyone who baked and supported us it was VERY much appreciated.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Week Beginning 6.11.2017

 

Welcome back to our weekly blog. This week has brought lots of fun and new ideas to our setting.

Children and teachers have worked together to build a car in the outdoor area. The children have already travelled far with their friends. Some have chosen to visit Peppa Pig World, others have gone to London for a day trip. Drivers have shared the long journeys fairly and have not forgotten to take their driving licences with them. Take a look:

 

 

 

"We are off to Peppa Pig World"

"We are going to London to see the Wheel"



 

Supported by the adults children have built their own boats using a piece of kitchen foil. The aim was to build a boat strong enough to carry as many 'penny passengers' as possible.

Children tested their boats and talked about why their boats sunk and thought of ways to improve their designs. 







Some tested their boats with dinosaur passengers.

 

 

 "Oh nooo! It's too heavy!"

Children have expressed great interest in the Ninja Turtles so they worked hard with Mrs Cox to create some turtle shells for them to use in their role play.

It's all coming together...

Meanwhile 'Shredder' is taking over the world......Mwahaha!!!!

Will the Ninja Turtle stop the baddies????

 

In maths this week we have begun to think about adding and subtracting numbers.  We have done this in a variety of different ways,

 

'Miss Welby look, these all make 7 and the towers are the same size!'

 

Different ways of making 7 using the number bars.

 

Rub-a-dub-dub some men in a tub, the sea got bumpy and some fell out...

 The children listened to number stories and solved them by writing the number sentences on their whiteboards.


Finally to finish, making men in the tub or (bowl.)  The children baked their own little men biscuits and Mrs Kett cooked them for us just in time for morning snack.

 

Yummy!

 

We are set for a busy week of learning next week themed around the turtles, as chosen by the children.

 

Have a lovely weekend everybody.

Week beginning 30.10.2017

Welcome back to the second half of Autumn Term. We hope you all had a resting and happy family time together.
The children had great fun and enjoyed painting pumpkins and firework pictures.

We have also made some edible mini sparklers using bread sticks, chocolate spread and hundreds thousands....

 

 

And dah dah....!

 

Autumn is well and truly here and leaves are EVERYWHERE!

Let's sweep up all these leaves! Great job.

 

With the help of Fireman Sam we have been learning how to stay safe this weekend if we are going out anywhere to watch the fireworks.  We thought we should put this theory into practise and try toasting some marshmallows.  Delicious.

 

We have had some great teamwork this week which has led to some fantastic creations, this started as a single piece of paper and grew and grew, finishing as a complete street map with its own train track.  What's more, the children are enjoying it so much that they have requested that it stays for after the weekend.

 

Encouraging our speaking and listening skills with a puppet show or two.

Congratulations to Lucas our Golden Book winner today for being so keen with your reading and independent writing.

 

 

Have a fantastic weekend everybody and remember all those safety tips if you are going out to watch the fireworks.
