The children have had lots of fun playing and exploring outdoors. In music we have been learning about percussion instruments so the children wanted to hear the sounds the tractor tyre could make. They have also been using the trees to play hide and seek.  

Children made a patchwork quilt out of wrapping paper.

Today we celebrated some achievements in Reception.  For swimming, gymnastics and football skills.  What a talented bunch!

Year 1 French Skipping 

We have been learning about French skipping in PE today. We watched the different songs on the video and tried to copy the actions. 

The children have enjoyed exploring different sounds on our new music wall that the children created together this week. We listened to the sounds the wooden items made when hit and described how they are different to the sounds created by striking metal objects.  

This week we are learning about the work of Andy Goldsworthy known as Nature’s Artist.  Inspired by his work we have been using a variety of natural materials to create faces and patterns.  

The children learnt about the importance of hygiene in order to keep healthy and then they carried out an investigation to show the effect of soap on germs.
