News Stories

• Collaboration
  We discussed what plants need to grow and survive and wondered what would happen if a plant didn't have everything they needed. Plants need room to grow so we decided to put one plant in a very small plant pot to to see what happens!
• More Collaboration!
  The children have loved the story 'Hansel and Gretel'. We have made props to help us act out the story. We used the trees outside to pretend we were walking through the woods! Fabien found some small stones for 'Hansel' to leave along the pathway!
• RNLI visit
  The RNLI came to visit us today!
• Money!
  We have been representing coins. It took a long time to count 100 counters to make £1, it was quicker to count in 10s! We learnt language such as 'change' and 'note'. This was quite confusing because we get 'changed' for PE and we write 'notes'
• Shapes
  We made shape gingerbread houses. We discovered a new shape called a 'quadrant'! Harry wanted to know what you call a cylinder if you cut it down the middle! We thought maybe a 'semi circular prism'?! What do you think?
• 3D shape hunt
  We went on a shape hunt this week.
• The Great Gingerbread House Build
  This week we have been using lots of different resources and tools to make our own Gingerbread houses!

• Video to Morondava Primary School
  Video we shared on Curriculum Celebration has been sent to Morondava Primary School today! We hope to hear back soon. Letters we wrote to the children will also be posted, which will include some letters written by parents on Curriculum Celebration Day!
• Run a Mile!
  Well done to KS1 who have run a mile every Monday morning for last 4 weeks! A great way to start the week for both children and adults. We have already noticed how this exercise has helped us to engage with our first lesson of the week!
