A busy week!

A very busy week for Orange Class this week. See our video from sharing assembly to get a flavour of what we've been up to. Thank you to all who came along today to assembly, the children do love to share their work with you!

Have a wonderful weekend and I do hope everyone stays well with these horrid bugs that are about!

Mysterious object...

This week, there was a mysterious object on the field! As the children arrived, something was on fire on the field and it seemed as though it had fallen from the sky as the ground was damaged. The children decided to investigate and took their clipboards outside to see what informtion they could gather about the strange object.

As well as gathering facts about what they could see, hear, smell and feel, the children also interviewed each other and their Year Two friends and recorded lots of different opinions. Some of us thought it was an alien crash landing, some of us thought it might be rubbish from the sky. A few of us thought Mr Jones (our caretaker) had pranked us in the night. Who knows?!  One thing is for sure...the children are very excited to have been reporters and will be having a go at making their very own newspapers soon. Watch this space! 

Have a wonderful weekend.

Outdoor Classroom day (1st November 2018)

This Thursday was outdoor classroom day and all of Key Stage 1 spent the morning learning in our Forest School area.

The first part of the morning saw the children problem solving as it was raining and the children wanted to build themselves shelters. the materials were available to the children, but it was up to them to design and create their own shelters using their knowledge of shape and space.

At snack time, the children had apples picked from our own apple trees on the field! The children heard a story about nature and enjoyed listening and joining in with the actions, rather than having the story read from a book. The children were then challenged to retell the story in their own ways.

It was wonderful to see so many ideas! Some used natural items to create picture or puppets, some acted out the story in small groups, some had narrators telling the story, whilst their groups told the story altogether in a 'talk for writing' style.

Some children even had Forest School in the afternoon too and spent all day outside! What a wonderful day and the children had a fantastic attitude - even in the rain! Have a wonderful weekend!
