Millie goes to school

In Year 2 some of the children have been writing instructions about how to care for pets. 

Today, a real life pet came into class. Millie the Spaniel. The children were able to ask questions, and stroke her if they wanted to.
(They washed their hands afterwards, of course!)                                    

Dennis has some more visitors

Nursery children went over to visit Dennis the bus

There was plenty of room inside

What an exciting place for lessons

Bus drivers are getting younger every day!

 In fact, their feet don't even reach the pedals.

Longships

4K made some fantastic models of Viking longships 

Absorbing work! 

Reading is fun

Choosing a new reading book

Characters from the stories

The Gruffalo is one of our favourite stories

This girl has asked to stay in at playtime to finish her lovely story

Numbers, numbers, numbers - Reception Working Together

The workshop was about maths.

There's a list of the activities at the end - see if you can spot them as you look at the pictures!

(Below, we had such a great turn out, that some parents had to go over to foundation to continue with the activities over there.)

Activities included:

• making number fans
• snakes and ladders
• number formation with play dough
• writing sums and numbers in flour
• using number lines and ordering numbers on white boards
• colouring by number
• exploring sand and water- finding ladybirds, counting the spots and matching them to the correct number flashcard.
• exploring a wide range of maths resources that we use with the children.
• number bingo.

 Did you spot them all? (The Bloglady managed 7! But I might have cheated a little)

A watery experience - Nursery Working Together

These are pictures from last week's working Together (19th April)

The theme was water.

This is bubble printing; the children had to blow into the cups to create bubbles (NOT suck the paint up the straw)!

There was a magnetic fishing game to make which required a lot of cutting out.

You only have to look at the faces to see how worthwhile it was! 

There was a record attendance by families 

Concentration is a hugely important skill for children to develop. 

Also:

• Mrs Rowlands demonstrated making cooked playdough; there was a recipe to take home.
• Mrs Mann showed the parents how to make a box to keep all the bits in. There was lots of folding involved.
• There were lots of books to read and parents could take home guidance on how to read a book with a child.

We thank you all for coming: it means so much to your child. Time spent with your children is a better present than all the toys, computers and fancy clothes you could ever give them.
