Chinese New Year

This week we learnt all about the Chinese New Year. We read the story together and watched a film about a traditional Chinese New Year. In our free flow we role played a traditional Chinese New Years' dinner, played with noodles and dumplings in our messy tray and made paper and play dough dragons. Some of us even had a go at Chinese writing. We also went outside and had our own races just like in the story - it was such fun to see which animal came first.

It's a little bit muddy!!!

Some pictures to make you smile this week on our blog! We are so proud that as a school outdoor learning is at the core at what we do. Our richest and most inspiring learning experiences often come from when we are in our wonderful natural surroundings. It seems that word is getting around about our love of outdoor learning and we even had a visit from Countryfile this week! Watch this space to find out more!

Maths Cafe and telling the time

The Tigers and the Rising 5s enjoyed more number fun this week during the maths cafe on Tuesday morning. After listening to the story of Spinderella we were set different challenges to work out how many football boots were needed for teams of different animals. We made excellent use of various resources to help us solve the problems including counters, cubes and dienes.  On Wednesday the Tigers were learning all about telling the time. We learnt about how many minutes are in an hour and how many hours are in a day. The children made their own clocks with moving hands, which needed super scissor control, and also rolled play dough to make hands for the laminated clock faces.

Our New Library

Our library is now ready for us to use. It has been beautifully decorated with a 'space' theme and lovely new book shelves have been brought. It's like a whole new room! This week we all went in to use it for the first time. We loved exploring and sharing the wonderful books with our friends and can't wait to go in again.
