We have had a colourful and creative week this week. We have learnt how to make our own paints using powder paint, and we explored making lots of different colours. We also learnt about 2d shapes, and created lots of pictures, patterns and models using shapes. We enjoyed exploring the sounds we could make with different instruments - it was quite noisy! Some of us were so excited to have started phonics that we decided to make cards and write messages to our families.

We began the week by practising our counting skills - counting bears inside and outside our classroom.

We also enjoyed the sunny weather in the meadow.

We found out about how to enjoy and play in our meadow. Then we put our new tree climbing skills into practise and carried out many rescue missions to save forest animals from the tree branches.

 

After the animals were rescued some of us needed a rest...
We've also found time to get our meadow ready for the autumn with some planting, wash the bikes and play with the dinosaurs.

First week fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firecrest - September 2019
We went for a lovely Autumn walk and collected lots of Autumn treasures that we then used to create patterns and art work.
We enjoyed making and eating pizza, just like the Little Red Hen.
It was fun celebrating Go Go Bear's birthday, we made cakes and party hats and wrote invitations in preparation for the party.
The big balance scales that Grace's dad has made us are really good fun!
Remembrance Day.
Lots of thinking, how many different ways can you make 5?
We loved playing pirates, we went for adventures on our ship, made treasure maps and telescopes, and even dug up some 'real' treasure.
