Nursery A went to the beach today!
Today we visited Formby Beach and Pinewoods. We linked our visit to the book The See Saw by Tom Percival. The children had a little picnic and time to play in the sand. We spent time walking, talking, climbing, digging, rolling, laughing and singing! There were some very sleepy children on the…
Water between our fingers and sand between our toes!
This week’s warm weather has called for a variety of sand and water play in nursery. The children have enjoyed exchanging wellies for bare feet in the sand and have explored pouring, funnelling and spooning water both in indoor and outdoor water play. The children have been cooperating in much…

After playing the game, we discussed which were the best kind of…
Fruit lollies
Fruit lollies were a perfect choice to make on our warm week in nursery A. The children used cutting skills to prepare the soft fruit and distributed them into ice lolly moulds, after calculating how much fruit we would need. After that the children practised their pouring by adding water before…
Battleships
This week in Mathematics, Year 5 have been learning about coordinates.
To show our understanding, the children played a game of Battleships against one another.
Grace 5B ‘Battleships was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing against my friend Erin.’
It’s a Wrap!
As part of our learning about food in nursery this week we have made our own wraps. We had a variety of fillings to choose from to create our perfect taste sensation. We had to think carefully about how much filling to use. Too many and the wrap will fall apart, too few and the wrap may be…
3-D shapes
Year 5 has been investigating 3-D shapes.
We were tasked with finding out how many faces, edges and vertices each 3-D shape had.
The children enjoyed working in pairs and handling the different shapes.
