As part of Geography week this week we looked at and talked about what happens when plastic (and of course all rubbish) ends up in the rivers, lakes and oceans and what can happen to the sea life that live there. We took part in an activity where we had to remove all the plastic from the water tray.

We went back into the hall this week for PE and had a great time playing parachute games.

We continued our work on the hungry caterpillar this week and are keeping an eye on the caterpillars as they get bigger. We made some smoothies using the food from the book.

In RE we learnt that the word ‘Alleluia’ is the Church’s special Easter word meaning ‘Praise God!’ and we made a flag using the Pentecostal colours.

This week the children have loved exploring the story ‘Goldilocks at the Three Bears’. We have read different versions of the story which the children have been joining in with. This is the video we have watched in class if the children would like to watch it again.

The new role play opened today so the children have been making porridge and spending time in The Three Bears Cottage.

We have also loved playing with the porridge oats; tipping, pouring and scooping.

We acted out the story during yoga.

The children have enjoyed being back together this week after the break.

Thank you for returning your Lenten Promises. Hopefully the weather will be drier next week so we can go out and pick a branch to hang them on.

There will be no reading morning on Friday 8th as we will be going to the Mothers Day assembly. We have been practising the song we will be singing so it would be lovely if you could join us.

This week we read Mr Wolf’s Pancakes. Mr Wolf went to his neighbours to ask for help but they weren’t very helpful. In the end he had a go and ended up making delicious pancakes that the whole neighbourhood could smell. His neighbours decided they wanted to try the pancakes, but did Mr Wolf let them have any?

In Nursery we decided to make our own pancakes. We helped to pour in and stir the mixture together. We waited very patiently while they were cooking, the pancakes were described as ‘awesome’.

In RE this week we looked at how a family gathers at Church for Sunday Mass. We talked about the Bible, the hymn books and even looked at something called a Stoup. We learnt that this is filled with Holy Water for people to bless themselves when entering a Church. We role played entering Church for a service and used the Holy Water to bless ourselves.

In maths this week we continued our work on number 4. We took part in some activities to support this such as frogs on logs, spots on a ladybird and we joined in with Number 4’s sports day by throwing bean bags into a hoop.

Over the last couple of weeks in RE we have learnt that there was a man named Simeon who lived a very long time ago in Jerusalem. He was a righteous man and he was told that he would see the Messiah. Mary and Joseph came to the Temple with Jesus, Simeon took Jesus into his arms and said a very special prayer.

We acted this out in class

In maths this week we continued to look at number 3. Mr Wolf could only eat 3 things so we found things in the classroom we thought he would like.

On Friday we took part in the NSPCC Number day.

We did a number 3 hunt out in the playground, made triangles using lolly sticks and had some number and shape activities at the writing table.

Big Garden Birdwatch

This week we took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch. The children really enjoyed making their binoculars to use and were excited to take them out and use them. We went outside on Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and again on Friday morning to see if we could see any birds in trees or on the field. We were also had a look to see if the birds have been eating the bird feeders we made.

The children will bring their binoculars home today – please ensure they are supervised while using because of the strings.

Other photos this week including the children playing ‘Bertha on the bus’, exploring the objects beginning with ‘g’ and a very long road track which the children have loved.
