Look at how we've been learning how to use balances. It takes a lot of concentration to get a perfect balance!

Thank you to all who have supported our ice-cream sale over the last few Fridays. All the funds raised will be going towards the Foundation outside play area. GOOD NEWS!! These ice cream sales will continue through the summer term. How can you miss out on a delicious, soothing, cooling lolly or ice cream? Delicious!! We've been exploring the feelings the Apostles experienced through Jesus' death, resurrection and Ascension into heaven. The children made their own happy/sad faces to show these feelings, followed by a headband representing the Holy Spirit. What a fun time we had at Stonebridge Farm! We started looking around the garden area where different plants, particularly fruit and vegetables, have been planted. While there, we picked some leaves to feed to the animals. When we'd picked enough, we took the leaves to the rabbits and guinea pigs. They enjoyed it - we had to be careful how we handled the animals - nice and gently. Next we went back outside to feed the larger animals - pigs, goats, sheep cattle and horses - they were extremely hungry! After that we went back inside and got to see some turtles, tortoises and more rabbits and guinea pigs. After a busy morning we had our lunch then had some free time to explore the playground, including the space ship. We also spotted some unusual animals. Do you recognise them? It was a great day and so much was experienced by everyone. Lent is the time to prepare for Easter. So we started with pancakes to begin the season of Lent. They were yummy!!! In turns we painted an Easter egg which shows the importance of Jesus rising from the dead to show he loves us. We looked at what happened during Holy week from Jesus arriving in Jerusalem, being greeted by people waving palm leaves, to him rising from the dead after dying on the cross. Using pictures we tired to tell our own version of the story and made our own Easter story books. Look at the different ways we've been learning how to use technology, including tablets and the Smartboard. These help us with our learning.
We brush our teeth regularly to make sure they're clean and healthy. We've been talking about visiting the Dentist and in so doing some children have had a go at it themselves (almost!). After exploring around the school grounds we found lots of evidence that Spring is definitely here! Look at how the daffodils have bloomed over the past few weeks. Can you see the blossom on our Almond Blossom trees? We decided to plant our own seeds to investigate new life and how to take care of them. Look at what's happened so far!! Look at how the children in F1 have been preparing to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Amongst other things they've been making traditional envelopes of good fortune, making colourful Chinese lanterns and tasting Chinese food. |
We will say 'Hi' every so often and tell you what we've been doing!
