Year 3 began learning how to play recorder this week. Thanks to Mr Kiggins. The children had great fun.

Year 1 Music 

We started our new theme ‘Fairytales’ in music today. We listened to the story about The Three Little Pigs and changed our voices to represent the different characters. 

Year 1 PE Sending and Receiving 

The children enjoyed playing the ‘bucket ball’ and ‘hit the bucket’ games in PE this afternoon. 

Using our fine motor skills we are creating pictures today using Tap Tap Art.  We are very careful not to bang our fingers and are enjoying copying the pictures and creating our own! 

Year 4 recorder lessons have begun. We are so excited to learn something new. If we can play the recorder, there are so many other instruments that we can learn too! 

Year One Geography - The Four Countries of the UK

In today’s Geography lesson we located the four countries of the UK on a map.  We also learned about their capital cities.

Year 1 Geography

Year 1 have been learning about the four countries of the UK. We have talked about the different places we may have visited and the capital cities. The children matched the labels and pictures to the map. 

We looked at the hail stones and watched them melt on our hands.  ‘They turn to water!’ The children were able to say what the hail was made from and what happened when it touched our warm hands!

There might not have been much snow in our area, but we certainly made the most of it!

Year Two made a fascinating discovery today. They talked about what they had found and made predictions.

Today the children wrapped up warm and put on their wellies to explore the cold outdoors. We listened to the noise of our footprints and described what the ice and snow felt like using words such as freezing, frosty, crunchy and squelchy.

The children then collected some ice to bring into class…

Today the children visited Church to look at the Nativity scene and to hear the story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus. The children remembered their Christmas assembly and were able to see Jesus, Mary and Joseph with their special visitors in Church.
