4 Red have been learning some new vocabulary this week in guided reading. They played a game of connect 4 to see who could collect the greatest number of words. A fantastic start to the year!
This week in 4 Red we have been learning about the ‘tempo’ of music and how that can effect how music makes you feel. We explored this by creating some artwork inspired by music with different tempos The children have also composed some of their own pieces of music in the major key of C.
.
Today in 1 Red we had our first PE session, we focused on running and jumping and what it entails to run and jump safely and correctly. We practiced lots and showed our moves to our friends and in turn we ere able to say how we could improve to make our movements better. We learnt that exercise and fitness helps us to grow, be strong, get our heart beating and to be healthy.
Today in 1 Red we have been scientists in LMTW focusing on life cycles of various things. We mainly focused on the life cycle of the frog today and discussed the changes frogs goo t through. We used story stones, jigsaws and pictures to order the life cycle and described what happens at each stage.
Today in 1 Red we had our first music lesson. We looked at various musical instruments and played each one to see what sound they each made. Today’s lesson was focused on pitch and tone where the children were given an instruction and they had to follow them using the instrument. We then sang some familiar songs and played the instruments. Great fun was had by all.
I have loved being with these amazing children over the last two years. They are an absolute credit to you and I am going to miss them dearly. We went out of year 2 in style!
1 Red had the wonderful opportunity to visit Beamish museum for their school trip. The were fabulous ambassadors for the school who were impeccably well behaved and were extremally excited and enthusiastic to learn about things that happened many years before they were born. They visited the dentist, farm, cottages where people lived and found out how different the houses were to where they live. They looked at old electrical equipment, visited the bank, the estate agents and they even got to see how sweets were made, but the best part of the visit was being able to sit as part of an infant school class, however many children said they preferred Mrs Sikka’s class and the Ma’am at Beamish school was very strict. We did lots of walking in the warm sun and everyone was so happy not one of them complained. They are an absolute credit to the school.
What a fabulous afternoon Reception had! Thank you to all the adults who came to support our stay and play! The children were so excited to show everyone around and it was lovely to see them proudly showing off! ❤️⭐️❤️
