Class one remember
Class one enjoyed walking around the school grounds and over to St Mary's church to see the cascading poppies from the tower. We noticed red and purple poppies. We talked about remembrance, the different meaning of the red and purple poppies, veterans, service, respect and memories.
Poppy artwork!
We created poppy artwork which will be displayed at the National Remembrance Gardens in Alrewas for their Guiding Lights installation.
Our drama workshop with Bostin Creative!
We took part in a drama workshop with the team from Bostin Creative and the Royal British Legion Remembrance Gardens. We became part of the British Land Army and dug for victory. We flew spitfires! We sang and danced and played games!
Beaming!
Class one went to watch the performance of Beaming along with the whole school!
It was an amazing show which helped us to learn more about service, respect and remembrance. We all sat beuatifully and joined in along the way!
Bonfire art!
Exploring autumn, learning about trees, building bonfire art, talking about bonfire safety and subitising leaves!
Using colourful water to create a bonfire!
We used different fire themed colours of orange, red, yellow and brown to create a bonfire. We squeezed the pipettes and filled them with water. Then we dripped the water onto the cotton wool to create a colourful bonfire.
999! What is your emergency?
Today we learned a little about bonfire safety. We role played a 999 call. Then we played firefighters, answer emergency called and helped put out blazing fires! What super imaginative play!
Representing 5!
We read we are going on a ghost hunt and we represented the five ghosts we found using a five frame! We matched the number on the number track!
Pumpkin hammering!
We wore our safety googles and used hammers to hammer golf tees into the pumpkins. This has been great for our fine motor skills and building our arm muscles too!
Baking pumpkin shapes biscuits!
Class One worked with Mrs Ula to bake pumpkin shaped biscuits. They enjoyed combining the ingredients, rolling the dough and cutting out the pumpkin shape. There were lots of star bakers!
We painted a pumpkin!
Reception have been painting pumpkins in their artbooks. They used the correct colours and shapes to create a painting of the real orange pumpkin on the table. They used the vocabulary stalk, vine, pumpkin and ridges to describe the parts of the pumpkin they were painting.
Hot chocolate anyone?
Class one have enjoyed running their own hot chocolate shop in class one! We poured warm, velvety hot chocolate and added giant, fluffy marshmallows. There has been some super talking and vocabulary used!
