Kingfishers visit Hawthorns Wildlife Centre!

Kingfishers have had a very busy day today learning even more facts about minibeasts! We spent the day taking part in lots of different activities including becoming squirrels and hiding our seeds to try and find later, searching for different coloured woolly caterpillars, a centipede walk and a bug hunt!

We had great fun being out and about and learning new facts! Well done Kingfishers!

 

 

Lots of fun in Kingfisher class!

We have been very busy looking after our pet caterpillars! We were very lucky to watch them eat, spin silk and grow bigger! They then hung upside down and harden into chrysalides. We were then very excited to come into school to see that they had transformed into beautiful butterflies! We watched them for a day and gave them some fresh fruit to eat. We then released them!

We have also been busy this week learning about our new topic 'Underwater Worlds', we particularly like the Aquarium role-play!

Welcome back Kingfishers!

We are having a great first week back! We have been very busy exploring new areas in our classroom and finding out all about our new topic - Step into Spring and Bugs! We very much enjoyed being outside to look for signs of spring!

We have also been learning about money this week, which we look forward to using in our outside Garden Centre role-play this term!

Please have a look at our pictures!

World Book Day in Year R!

We loved World Book Day in Year R! The children all looked fantastic and we very much enjoyed taking it in turns to talk about who we were dressed as. We also made a picture and wrote all about our character.

We also enjoyed exploring the book 'The Gruffalo'. Please take a look at some of our Art work!

Around the world in Year R!

We have had lots of fun 'travelling' to different countries and learning many facts! We thought carefully about similarities and differences between countries and we have been working hard to write words and sentences so that we can record these findings in our diaries.




We thoroughly enjoyed preparing for our Chinese New Year party and then eating the food! We also enjoyed meeting our very own Chinese dragon and using him in our PE dance!




We look forward to learning lots more as we launch our new transport topic, Zoom!

 

 

 

Lots of learning in Year R!

We have been very busy over the last few weeks!


In Maths, we have been learning how to add and we have been recording our number sentences! We will explore subtraction next!


We were all very excited to be joined by Barnaby Bear who will stay with us this half-term! Barnaby Bear is teaching us all about where we live as well as different countries! We are learning facts and we write these in our travel diaries.


So far, we have 'travelled' to London on the train to find out more about our capital city. We also 'flew' to South Africa, where we acted out 'We're Going on a Lion Hunt". Did we find a lion? Have a look at the pictures to find out!
