Making bread

This week we have been reading the story The Little Red Hen, we have really enjoyed retelling the story and talking about the characters. 

We decided we would like to be like the little red hen and make some of our own bread, but unlike the animals in the story we were kind and helped each other. 
It was lots of fun making the bread and it smelt delicious! 

I hope you all enjoyed eating it at home. 

Autumn Fun!

Autumn is…

As part of our Outdoor Learning with 

Mrs Bulleyment we went searching for signs of autumn. The leaves had changed colour and were falling off the trees as well as the weather being much cooler.

Whilst finding out about Autumn we looked at some of Andy Goldsworthy’s artwork.

Then we had a go ourselves.

We have also been reading a lot of Percy the Park Keeper books - Autumn is a really busy time for Percy.

 

In the role play we have been writing lists of animals and jobs lists for Percy.

In addition to this we had a multi-link challenge.

How many different things could we make for Percy’s park just using 5 cubes?

Look at all the wonderful animals that live in Percy’s park!

We had to work closely as a team to cut and stick these brilliant animals.

Mrs Bishop was really proud of all of us!

Shapes

We have had lots of fun learning all about shapes this week. We have made shape pictures, shape necklaces, shape foxes, gone on shape hunts and even made a shape car garage!

Can you go on a shape hunt at home and send me some pictures of he shapes you can see at home? 

Have a lovely weekend!

Autumn Changes

Last week we had a great time exploring all things Autumn. We learnt how the weather changes, where some of the birds go when it gets cold and what hibernation means. Here is a few of the things we got up to...

Joseph, Brody and Archie designed their own parks. They used their phonic fingers to add labels and sound out letters and words. They look fantastic!

In maths, the children were collecting and counting conkers and working out some mathematical problems. How many do you have? How many would you have if you found 1 or 2 more? How many would you have if a cheeky squirrel took 1 or 2 away? If you have 5 conkers, how many more do you need to make 7?

Who will help me make some bread?

This week we have learning about Harvest and the story of the 

Little Red Hen.

We have been doing lots of exciting activities.

Do you know the story of the Little Red Hen?

We do!

You could use our story maps to find out the main events in the story. 

Mrs Laidler very kindly helped us make bread, 

just like the Little Red Hen.

We have done some more 

observational drawing. 

This time we were looking at the 

inside of fruit. 

Using the Lego we made sure all the farm animals were safely in fields. 

After that we wrote labels - we had to think carefully about the different sounds we could hear in the names of the animals.

Mrs Bishop was really proud of Leah and Imogen. Their shopping lists were brilliant - great use of your phonics fingers girls!

The Big Spotacular

On Friday we were raising money for

Children in Need. 

We all dressed in spotty clothes and brought in cupcakes to enjoy at play time!

We had enough cupcakes for both playtime

and story time. 

Thanks to your kind donations we raised £35. 

We are still waiting to find out the

total raised across school.

Children in need spotty day!

We have had a great day dressing up all spotty and eating delicious cakes! Thank you to everybody that donated and made cakes.

Bonfire night with a BANG!

Remember, remember the fifth of November,

Gunpowder treason and plot.

We see no reason

Why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!

We had a fantastic week making repeating pattern fireworks and rockets, firework explosion drawings and paintings and (of course!) our very own cut and stick rockets! Here are some pictures from our Bonfire week.

We hope your Bonfire night went off with a BANG!
