Talk for Writing
This morning we have been busy changing our current class text ‘Meerkat Mail’, to tell our own journey story. We have each changed the main character and some of us have also changed the setting. When we had finished our story maps, we retold our version of the story to our friends.
Fun at ‘Love Books’
As Time Goes By Club Session 2
Today the children went on their second visit to share time together with the older members of the community at Trinity Church Cafe. The children took their chicks with them to introduce to their new friends.
The children began by sharing their experience of hatching chicks with everyone.
We then all shared a story together about Dora’s eggs.
The children and adults then shared a craft activity making pictures about the story of Dora and her chicks.
To finish out time together we finished with Rhyme Time – the children chose some of their favorite Nursery Rhymes to sing.
The Chicks Came to Visit Nursery
Yesterday, the chicks from Reception came on a visit to Nursery. We were then able to hold a chick and spoke about how to look after them. We discussed that they need water and food and we must keep them dry at all times.
Chick Update
The children have been busy looking after the chicks since they have hatched.
The children had to set up a brooder box for the chicks to move into once they had left the incubator.
The children have been enjoying the chicks – giving them lots of cuddles, and having fun with them.
Congleton museum
On Monday 29th April we went on a trip to Congleton museum, we learnt lots about the history of Congleton and lots about the industrial revolution, the civil war and the plague.
We had such a great time and did some amazing writing following on from this. Thank you to our parent helpers.
Investigating plants
In Year 2 this morning we have been outside looking at all of the different plants and flowers we can see in our environment. We talked about why plants and flowers begin to grow at certain times of the year. We knew that plants need sunlight to grow but realised that some plants don’t grow in the winter even though the sun is shining. As we are super plant detectives we quickly noticed that it needs to be a certain temperature for the plants to grow as well as having sunlight. Some plants and flowers can survive in lower temperature in comparison to others who need a much warmer temperature.
Egg Citing Hatching News!
The children came into school this morning and 3 of the eggs had hatched!
The children were very excited to see the chicks this morning.
Egg – Citing Delivery in Reception
On Monday the children had a special delivery to the classroom.
It is 8 eggs.
Today the children have been busy watching and waiting for cracks to appear.
Fizzy Tots Session in Nursery
Nursery had lots of fun today in PE. The children had to jump, crawl, run and bounce as they pretended to be a dinosaur. The children then had to try and aim the beanbag into the hoop.
The UK
Our new topic is ‘The UK and Far Away’. This week in our Geography lesson, we used different maps and atlases to locate each of the 4 countries of the UK and identify their flags.
Length and Height
This week in maths, we have been working on length and height. We have been using different words to compare the length and height of people and object and also used concrete resources, using both standard and non-standard units of measurement.
Special Delivery…
At the start of the week, Mrs Bennett arrived with a large envelope for Nursery. We opened the envelope to find a letter from a meerkat called Sunny… all the way from the Kalahari desert! Sunny sent a copy of ‘Meerkat Mail’ with his note, for us to learn all about his adventures in our new English focus text.
Thumbs Up Thursday
Huge thank you to one of our fantastic and very talented parents for our impromptu live music session! He played guitar for us and sang us some beautiful songs… it was an amazing start to our day!
