Week Beginning 16.4.2018

😉

Welcome Back. We hope you all enjoyed the Easter break and have come back refreshed! At last the weather seems to be cheering up and we can look forward to our Summer Term.

We started the week spending as much time as possible outdoor to make the most of the new resources and the sun. Children engaged in different activities.

'If you want to balance you put your arms out like that'.

A busy kitchen with cakes and soups being prepared.

'A fairy village with a stream and a pond'.

 

As you know our new topic in PE is 'Playground Games' so today we started off by learning 'Please Mr Crocodile' and 'Moving Statues'.
The first one is played by selecting a child to be the crocodile. The children ask the crocodile permission to cross the Golden River and the crocodile has to think of something like: 'Only if you are wearing something red' or 'only if you can count to 100' etc.
In 'Moving Statues' one player stands at the front with their back to the others counting quietly to 10. When the player has counted to 10 they turn around quickly. The players should stop moving and stand still. anyone caught moving is out.

More time was spent outdoor in maths where children had to find numbers called out by the teacher and stand by them.  They then worked in teams and used the large building bricks to  put represent the number called.



                                           
Great team work! Some children look for the number, whilst others fetched the bricks and some checked they had the right amount of bricks.

 

 

Back inside we have been working hard with our independent challenges, such as this one where we had to label the different parts of Little Red Riding Hoods body.

 

 

We spent lots of time showing great cooperation skills this week, glad to be back with our friends, just look at this fantastic volcano we made, four sets of hands and creative ideas and THIS was the end result.

 

 

 

Finally, we are still clearing up after all the building work and we have taken advantage of the sunshine to soap and scrub our number lines and alphabet boards.  This was a tough job but we had several fantastic helpers. Thank you...

 

 

Congratulations to Lydia, our Golden Book winner this week for being so helpful and for having super listening skills in class all week.

 

Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine everyone!
