We were straight back to it in Maths today. We were learning to represent numbers, put numbers on a number line and place numbers in order. Here are some of the reception children representing numbers using numicon…

Henry raises money for Team Trees!
Well done to our Year 6 pupil Henry for initiating a fundraiser for ‘Team Trees’, a cause which hopes to see a million trees planted! Henry heard about the project and was inspired to do something to help.
By requesting ‘spare change’ and delivering a PowerPoint to the whole school, Henry has managed to raise a fantastic £32.14 with his helpers. Well done to the children for carrying out their own fundraising project, we’re very proud of you!
Pizza Making
Last week the year 1 children really enjoyed making some healthy vegetable pizzas. They put all of their new skills that they had learnt to the test to prepare the vegetables. They then took them home to cook and eat…. luckily most of them enjoyed what they had made!
Letters to Santa
Last week hedgehog class wrote letters to Santa as part of our English topic. Today we went for a walk in the village to post the letters off the Santa’s headquarters. We’re all hoping that our replies will arrive before the end of term!
Rain Gauges
Last week at forest school, we all made our own rain gauges. This week we took some rulers with us so that the children could measure how much rain we had had this week. When we got to the site, some of us found that our rain gauges had fallen over! This gave us a really good opportunity to explore other ways of making sure that they stay upright. Luckily some rain gauges did stay upright this week so we were able to measure each other’s. We then used leaves on a stick to record how many centimetres of rain we had measured.
Year 1 Vegetable Preparation
Yesterday, the year 1 children learnt some new skills. We had to be really careful with the kitchen equipment that we were using! The children were so grown up using the utensils! Here we are preparing some vegetables…
A Frosty Morning
Hedgehog Class had a fantastic time in the frost yesterday morning. We went out to explore where it had come from and what would happen to it if we touched it. Some of us were shocked at how cold the frost felt on our hands! And we were fascinated by how quickly the ice that we found melted when we held it tight in our hands. Here’s some of the fun that we had outside…
The River Drumbles!
Hedgehog Class had a great time up at the Drumbles a couple of weeks ago… We had been looking at water flow and had been practising making little rivers using plastic equipment for a couple of weeks. We then decided to make a huge “River Drumbles” as a whole class. The children worked superbly as a team and here are their results…
Children in Need in pictures : £243.38 !!!
We baked…. we dressed up… we made masks…. and we had GREAT FUN raising lots of money for a brilliant cause: Children in Need!
Fun & Games Cluncil planned the events, ran the bake sale and mask competition. The total amount of money flabbergasted us all! Well done to all the children who got involved – a brilliant effort all round.
Science
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.
