While the rest of the school participated in sports day, Nursery explored ways to get active and have fun. We loved playing on the trim trail, practicing our balancing and climbing skills. We also took part in some mini races on the nursery yard. Watch out as I’m sure we have some super athletes in the making!
What a great morning we have all had. I’m glad to see that their training and determination has paid off. The children have all had such a great time as you can see by the pictures….
UKS2 were given the opportunity to take part in this year’s ‘STEMFEST Net Zero’ event, to raise the aspirations and opportunities available to our young people within the North East.
Throughout the day, we were immersed in STEM-based industries, who showed us a range of different career pathways and what we could expect to see in the future – including zero-emissions transport and a futuristic robot trolley!
We were able to experience it, play with it, use it and develop it.. skills we have been integrating in our own school learning.
We had an amazing day and are truly inspired by what the future holds for us!
The children in 1 Red loved Sports Day and it was made even more special by our parents coming to watch. We had a great time. We ran relays, egg and spoon race, bean bag balance, sack race and football skills. We loved showing off our amazing skills!
We had a fantastic time ….a huge thank you to all the parents that came and cheered for us!
Even the weather was kind!
Well done 7 Red
we all need a lie down now!
In our theme of ‘Royal Patrons’ we have been looking at how things were different in the olden days compared to now. We were especially interested in the old toys! We played with marbles, yo- yos, hoop and stick, egg and cup and lots more. We thought they were fun but we would probably get bored after a while! We discussed which of these toys our parents/grandparents played with and we have been researching this at home and sending in photos of our family’s old toys.
In our Jigsaw session this week we have been looking at different part of the male and female anatomy. We sorted pictures into a Venn diagram to explain what body parts we shared and which part were different. We have looked at the real names for these body parts and discussed our ever changing bodies.
As part of our previous theme ‘What on earth?’ and then linking into our current theme ‘Over the Rainbow’ Reception were very lucky to look after some caterpillars. We investigated the life cycle and then watched out caterpillars grow, change to the chrysalis stage and then finally our beautiful butterflies emerged! We observed them for a day or two and fed them fruit, when they were ready, we let them go free! Some of them flew off straight away, but one of them stayed as it seemed to like sitting with one of our girls!
This week we have been learning about traditional Celtic music. The children have learned about ancient Celtic instruments as well as creating their own percussion based compositions.
