Everyday Superheroes

This term, we're diving into the fascinating world of everyday superheroes! We’ll explore who they are and how they come in all shapes and sizes. From firefighters and nurses to teachers and charity workers, each plays a unique role in our lives. We'll compare how these heroes are the same, showing bravery and kindness, yet different in their skills and the challenges they face. Let's discover the amazing ways they help us every day, making our communities better places to live. Get ready to celebrate the unsung heroes amongst us and share your own superhero stories!

Exploring 2D

The children have absolutely loved exploring 2D shapes in our recent activities! Their enthusiasm has led to the creation of some fantastic stained glass windows. It’s been wonderful to see them engage creatively while applying their knowledge in such an artistic way. 

Have you spotted them yet? We’re so proud of their efforts and can’t wait for everyone to enjoy their masterpieces! 

Week 3 New Pet

This week, we have welcomed a new member into our class! Please give a warm welcome to Simon the Stick Insect. He has moved in with our resident Stickolas and seems to have settled in quite nicely. The children are absolutely thrilled to have a new little friend to learn about and care for.

Every day, they excitedly search for Simon amongst the leaves, trying to spot him camouflaged against the greenery. It's been such a delight to watch them engage with nature and develop their observational skills! The joy on their faces when they find him is truly priceless.

We’ve turned his habitat into a mini-exploration zone where children can learn about the importance of habitat and care for living creatures. It's a fantastic hands-on experience for everyone, and we can't wait to see how Simon and Stickolas become the best of pals!

Week 4: How to Make Healthy Food Choices

Hello everyone! Wow, can you believe it’s already Week 4? This week, we’re diving into how to make healthy food choices while focusing on different food groups. It’s super important to be aware of what we eat, isn't it? We’ve been exploring the colourful world of fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, and dairy, discovering how they each play a vital role in keeping our bodies happy and healthy!

And guess what? We’ve also been using our newfound knowledge to create our very own packed lunches. How exciting is that? Nothing quite like a yummy, balanced lunch to get us through the day!

Oh, and remember our jam sandwich-making session? We really nailed the importance of listening and following instructions — it’s a skill we all need. I can’t wait to see how you all continue to make smart, scrumptious choices on your culinary adventures! Look out for our fruit salads!! 

Week 5  Tangrams

In our latest adventure, we delved into the fascinating world of tangrams! The children learnt that these delightful puzzles originated from China. We discovered how they are made from a square, cleverly cut into seven pieces, or ‘tans’. The excitement was palpable as the little ones experimented with different shapes and objects, turning their creativity loose to craft their own unique tangrams. Just imagine the joy on their faces as they created animals, buildings, and fantastic shapes! What a brilliant way to blend art, understanding the world and problem-solving! We hope you enjoy their work.
