Well shiver me timbers!


There was nearly a man over board this afternoon when I looked through your pictures! What a lot of learning. 

 I am so impressed with the hard work you're putting in, I'm beaming with pride. Well done and keep it up.

 Here are a few highlights.
  







 Connie's been coding on scratch, testing her pirating skills by navigating on a nautical map, as well as riding her bike with no stabilizers. Arrrrr ship matey.
















Alfie has drawn a brilliant picture of a ship and he's worked hard on his phonics and maths.




Ted drew this picture from his favourite part of the holidays. He drove the tractor to get some walling stone from Grandad's field. His sentence is “I drive the Tractor.”



This is him in action during the holidays.


Ted has also done P.E with Joe, phonics, checked on how his plants are growing and put some toys in order of size and used his Dad’s tape measure to check the sizes. 




George has had a great day. He's done some amazing writing about what he did at Easter, phonics, drawing and has been measuring big toys to smallest toys.




Thank you all for sharing your wonderful learning. It's brilliant that we can stay in touch this way. 

Mrs Beswick also sends her love and is missing you, as we all are.

Stay safe and look after each other ship mates.

Comparing numbers to 10

Image
 The receptions have been comparing numbers to 10 in lots of different ways this week. They've thrown beanbags and quoits into a hoop and compared who had landed the most. And compared who rolled the most balls into a hoop. They've competed to see who could thread the largest amount of bobbins in a minute. And sorted bobbins into colours and compared the amounts.

The Extraordinarily Gardener

Image
 The children have been getting stuck into our new book- The Extraordinary Gardener this week. Before reading the story, we used our inference and thought about why the character might be extraordinary. The children decided it must be because of all the unusual creatures and plants growing on the front cover. They didn't think that a child gardening was extraordinary as they all enjoy gardening themselves. In the story, Joe is very creative and creates all sorts of interesting creatures and plants to make the world more exciting. The children have created their own plants and creatures with extraordinary features using various different material. They then wrote about their features and what species they are.

Lost and found

Image
 The Bears have started their new book 'Lost and found' by Oliver Jeffers where the boy takes the lost penguin back to the North Pole on a boat. We decided to make our own boats during Forest Schools this afternoon.  We split into 2 groups, one group made a large scale boat, big enough for the whole group to fit in. The other learnt about some of the tools that we use in Forest schools and started to make our own wooden boat. We started by sawing the wood using a bill hook. We then split the wood into two pieces, using a bill hook and mallet. Then we started to whittle the shape of the boat using potato peelers and sheeth knives. I'm really looking forward to continuing this project- there's going to be some masterpieces.
