The year 1 children have been learning all about plants and trees over the last few weeks. Today they did some independent writing to tell me everything that they know about oak trees! Here’s a couple of the fantastic pieces of writing that they did…

Dandelion Fitters
Hedgehog class had great fun on Tuesday afternoon cooking some dandelion fritters. They all chose and picked their own dandelion to be cooked and made a batter. They then carefully put their dandelion head into the pan and we covered them in the batter. They were extra tasty with a little syrup on top! Not everyone enjoyed theirs but they were all superstars for trying them! The children all know that they shouldn’t pick and eat flowers unless an adult has said that it is ok.
Doubling!
Have a look at the fantastic work that the Reception children were doing this morning on doubling numbers! One group were busy finding number doubles using the pom-poms and the other group were finding number doubles using a mirror!
Flower Finding!
This week at forest school, the children were set a challenge! The week before, Kris had found 4 different types of flowers at our forest school site. He had photographed them and then written some clues for the children. They had to match the clue to the correct flower. They were amazed to find out that dandiions are edible! The children then had to use the photos to find the flowers in the forest school site. They had great fun working together to findi the flowers!

Chocolate Easter Nests
Yesterday, Hedgehog class had great fun making some chocolate Easter nests as part of our English work. They had to follow the instructions really carefully to ensure that they made them right.
Today, we wrote our own instructions to tell Mrs Farmer and Henri how to make their own during the Easter holidays. They can’t wait to make their own!
Forest School
Hedgehog Class had a fantastic time up at forest school yesterday afternoon. They all wrote their names on wooden labels and found a bud to tie it to. We’ll keep checking the buds that they chose every week to see how they grow.
Measuring
Over the last few weeks, Hedgehog Class have been really busy learning to measure in a variety of ways! During the first week back, they learnt to measure the length or height of objects using a ruler. Last week they learnt to measure mass and weight using balance scales and this week they are learning about capacity and volume. They’re doing a super job and we are all so proud of them!
Dragonfly Class – Friday Video Chat!
Hi everyone,
Hopefully you will have received a Parentmail from the Office with details about how to access Microsoft Teams. If not, please contact the office email.
As a practise run, I’d like to have a Teams Meeting tomorrow morning (Friday) at 9am. Hopefully you can make it – it will be an opportunity to practise with the programme, see each others faces and have a nice chat!
The lessons will all be up on the website as normal, but it would be great for us all to have a test-run with Teams.
I’ll hopefully see you all in the morning!
Miss Whit 🙂
Lockdown
Following the governments announcement of the further lockdown in England, there is a letter to all parents on parentmail which has a link to the survey for keyworker places for this week. The link to the survey is also below as we are having problems with uploading the parentmail (must be very busy!) Please complete the survey as soon as possible if you need a place for your child in keyworker provision;
