This week in Nursery we have remembered and said thank you to all the wonderful and brave soldiers. The children watched a short animation and then made poppies to take home.  

We discussed the meaning of ‘healthy lifestyle’ and ‘processed food’. The children used a range of skills such as chopping, grating and peeling to make a colourful, layered salad.

The children explored and practised backwards rolls, tuck jumps and balances. They also did exercises to develop their arm strength.

This half term the children have been reading the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. They are having lots of fun with their friends building new homes using bricks, sticks, straw and playdough for the pigs. The children are talking about the strongest house and sharing their ideas of what to do…

This week we have been exploring the composition of the number 3.  All the different ways to make 3.  Today we used bean bags and a hoop, seeing how many we could land outside and inside the hoop.  The children loved the game and wanted to carry on when we went to play!

Well done to our Year 6 girls who took part in the South Sefton Partnership's Dodgeball competition this week. Also, our Year 5 and 6 Sports Ambassadors have attended the Bronze Ambassador training with other local schools today. 

Today we have celebrated Remembrance Day by reading and analysing the poem, ‘In Flanders Field’ by John McCrae.

Yesterday we watched the CBeebies short film that illustrates and informs us about Remembrance Sunday. We talked about the service men and women who fought in wars fior us.  Afterwards we used tissue paper and paper plates  to make poppies in their honour. 

The children were very excited after some of them experienced bonfires, fireworks and sparklers last night. Many of the children enjoyed creating firework pictures and the children were keen to make a giant rocket. We began the first painting stages this morning. To be continued next week…

Today the children were introduced to the story of Angel Gabriel giving Mary the message that she was going to have a special baby. The children took turns to role play Gabriel’s message and Mary’s response.
