We have been learning counting, cardinality and ordanality this week. The Numberblocks went off on an adventure and kept getting mixed up. We had to put them in order and make a staircase pattern. They also played hide and seek and we had to say why we could see them sometimes, considering which numbers were one more than the other and not hiding very well! For example, “We can see you 4 because 4 is one more than 3, so you can’t hide behind him!”
This morning we held another Achievement Assembly. It was lovely to welcome parents into school to see their children collect their certificates. It was especially wonderful to see Year R children collecting their Bronze awards.
Well done everyone – we are proud of you.
In Year R this week we have been learning to compare and order length and height. We put our ribbons in length order and ourselves in height order. We have been learning new vocabulary to talk about measuring – short, long and tall.
This week in Reception we have been reading more stories about Supertato by Sue Hendra. We made our own veggie superheroes using a range of materials and joining techniques. We had a great time!
This morning saw a group of Year 2 children receive their achievement certificates. It was lovely to hear all the different things that the children have been up to: reading at home, being kind to friends, taking part in different events and developing great learning behaviours. We are proud of all of their achievements. It would not be an achievement assembly with juice and a biscuit.
Daddy Bear and Baby Bear have been going on a picnic and the Reception children have been sorting their objects into size order for each bear. They were able to use size words to describe their learning. ‘Daddy has a big plate and cup because he is bigger. Baby Bear is tiny so he has a small plate.’
It was chaos in Early Years! Who was going to feed the real life heroes? Luckily…Supertato came along to help and taught the children all about healthy eating and creating a balanced diet. The children helped Supertato and the Evil Pea create a balanced plate of food for their heroes.
They were able to sort food into two groups and talk about their learning.
‘You need fruit to make you strong.’
‘Cake and biscuits have lots of sugar.’
What a great way to end our first week back! It was lovely to welcome Year R to Achievement Assembly too. The children shared some of their achievements. There were a huge variety of achievements shared today. It is really wonderful to share the children’s hard work.
Today we celebrated 75 children who were in school everyday last term.
This term, Year 1 went on an exciting trip to Milestones Living Museum. We have been learning all about toys and how they have changed over the years. During our trip we were able to handle and sort old toys by different criteria. We were able to look at the museum’s amazing teddy bear collection that consists of over 260 teddies! The children especially enjoyed walking down the Milestones Pier where they were able to go on a variety of vintage arcade games and penny machines. We all had a great time and are looking forward to exploring more old toys back at school.
