Evil Pea causes mischief in Year R!

13/5/2022

 
Picture
There has been an invisible visitor in Year R this week, Evil Pea has been causing all sorts of trouble in class! Each day he has left us a new story all about his adventures with Supertato ...and caused mischief along the way.  He hid Fred Frog in the fridge, made a big mess in the playground, froze and covered our toys in slime and wrapped them in toilet paper!  We have been busy making traps, writing signs and reading clues all about this cheeky pea.  Luckily, by the end of the week, our efforts were rewarded with him writing a message to us saying he had changed his ways.  What a busy and exciting week! 

Our first trip to the theatre

11/5/2022

 
Picture
We travelled to the Northcott Theatre in Exeter to watch Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World.  We have been finding out about the lives of some real life female superheroes, many of which featured in the show.  We all enjoyed the costumes, singing, dancing, story telling, live music and also riding on the coach.  Children were wonderfully behaved and joined in with the whole experience.  
You can view the trailer here:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvT7gTgTPf4

Junk modelling

6/5/2022

 
Picture
The creation station has been busy this week.  Children have been planning, fastening, cutting and attaching various items to make their own models.  There were several vehicles, many with a Superhero theme.   We have also continued our Superhero adventures in other areas of learning, such as making potions and comics, untangling superheroes and lots of dressing up.  
​We ended the week by hearing the story 'The Dot' and thinking about how we are resilient.  Children then drew their own dot and explored how they could make into their own artwork, just like the character in the story. 

Cricket skills

6/5/2022

 
During our PE sessions with Mr Berry this half term we are learning skills used to play cricket.  
​Here we are in our first session this week.

End of the Spring Term in Year R

8/4/2022

 
We have continued to have another busy week of learning in Year R.  Our chicks have grown very well and have regularly been held and cuddled in class.  We said a farewell to them so they could return to the farm, we look forward to seeing photos of them as they grow.  

In our RE lessons we have followed the Bible stories of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  Children have sequenced the story, learnt new language and made Easter gardens, which Mrs Snell has taken to decorate the porch at St Andrews.  

We finished the term by making spring potions and hunting for chocolate eggs in the outdoor learning area.  

Chicks in class

1/4/2022

 
We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our chicks in Year R.  The eggs have been incubating in class for 21 days and this week they hatched before our eyes! 
We now have 8 fluffy chicks living in our classroom.  We like to hear their chirping and will take good care of them for Farmer Jo.   
Here are some short videos of the hatching.  

Visiting the farm

1/4/2022

 
Picture
We ended the week with a visit to the farm.  We saw lambs, calves and piglets with their mothers.  We also created our own maths 10 frames by collecting spring themed items.  

​This week in class we have enjoyed looking at the book The Lost Words.  ​We were pleased to find some of the pictures in real life when on our trips out and about.

Year R walk to Ramsley Mine

25/3/2022

 
We have been making the most of the glorious weather this week.  In particular, we took a 2.5 mile walk to see Ramsley mine and the wonderful views of Dartmoor and South Zeal.  On our walk we found the old mine ruins and had a spring flower hunt.
