Looking for Frogspawn in EYFS
The children in EYFS have started to learn about the lifecycle of a frog. Last week the children learnt about what frogs look like by making representations of frogs using their art skills. The children learnt that frogs live in ponds, they have long legs to help them jump and swim in the water.
This week the children went to look at our school pond to see if we can find any frogs…
The children could see the shape of the pond was a circle and their was pond weed and plants growing in the pond for the animals to eat and hide in. When the children looked closely at the pond they could see – frogspawn that the frogs had laid.
The children collected some of the frogspawn and put it into a tank for the classroom so they can observe the changes over time and what happens next to the frogspawn.
Gymnastics in EYFS
On Monday the children in EYFS were learning about balancing in their PE session. The children began by exploring how we can balance using different parts of our body.
The children developed their balancing skills using different apparatus and obstacles.
Retelling the story ‘dinosaurs and all that rubbish’ through dance.
Today, Year One attended a workshop hosted by WestEnd performer, Autumn, who showed the children how we can tell stories using our body. The children were able to use movement, travel and facial expressions to retell the book previously looked at in class – ‘Dinosaurs and all that rubbish’. The children were able to sequence the story and retell it through dance, as seen in the pictures.
The children thoroughly enjoyed being able to tell a story in this way and having the opportunity to impersonate different characters and events from the book. The children also had opportunity at the end of the workshop to reflect and ask questions to Autumn.
The Iron Man
Today we have taken part in a workshop with Autumn from West End in Schools. Autumn has starred on the West End in many shows. Our session was based on the story of The Iron Man. We used dance to retell the story, using different moves and facial expressions to depict the story from the Iron Man falling apart to his victory over the Space-bat-angel dragon. It was a really enjoyable session finishing with a performance of the dance in full.
Head over to our Google Classroom page to watch a video of our performance!
Year 4 – World Book Day – The Iron Man Performance
Today, Year 4 were given the opportunity to work with West End in Schools to perform the story of The Iron Man.
The children started with a warm up to get our bodies. We then recapped the story of The Iron Man.
The children then danced and role played to the story from the beginning where The Iron Man fell apart, the farmer being angry and digging the hole to trap The Iron Man.
The next part of the story the children then moved to the battle between The Iron Man and the Giant Space Bat Dragon.
The final part depicted the victory of The Iron Man and saving the whole world.
The children wish to send a huge thank you to Mrs Isherwood for arranging our experience and West End in Schools for helping teach us to perform on of our favourite stories.
