Today the year 1’s were learning the parts of the body. We drew around each other and labelled the template with different body parts. After we had done that we talked about the 5 senses.

Hedgehog Class had a fantastic time up at forest school today. We were learning about water and water flow. The children were given various pipes and cartons and told to go out into the woods to experiment with water flow. They will then use what they learnt this week to creat a huge “Drumbles river” as a class next week.

The reception children enjoyed developing their number skills this morning using the computers and iPads. Some of them found using a mouse for the first time quite tricky but they were starting to get the hang of it. They all did a super job and were getting so quick at the games they were playing by the end of the lesson.

We had a great time up at forest school this morning looking for signs of autumn! We were really lucky with the weather this week! We went on a hunt throughout the whole forest in groups to look for autumnal items. We found lots of things including various sticks, fallen leaves, conker husks and berries.

When we thought that we had collected enough things, we were challenged to make a picture of anything we liked. Here are our results…

We are going to do this activity again after half term to see if there are any different autumnal items as the season progresses.
