Robins' Trip to Manor Farm!

Robins had amazing time at Manor Farm!

 

We got to experience a real Victorian lesson! The teacher was very strict! 

                                                           

We then got to go outside and play some different Victorians games! We loved the        bowling!

 

 

In the afternoon we spent time looking around a Victorian house and had a go at washing clothes like a Victorian! 

 

      We then got to meet some amainals on the farm! We even fed the goats!

 

 

Swifts love a pose!

The Swift class has been learning all about Monarchs this term and are thoroughly enjoying it. We had our Art day today where children explored portraits and poses of different Kings and Queens from the past. They were asked to sketch their very own portrait, thinking hard about a hobby that they could portray as well as taking on a pose. They were FANTASTIC! Then, they replicated their portrait digitally on Purple Mash. They did a wonderful job! These have been displayed on the display board on Purple Mash for all to see as well as in the Swift classroom! 

Here are some examples...  

Definitely artists in the making! 🎨 

Jubilee celebrations

Kestrels and Falcons had a fabulous time today creating their own crowns; practising their royal waves for the camera and enjoying their jubilee picnic (the rain didn't spoil their fun!) They loved singing along to some classic songs from the last 70 years and making requests from DJ Mr Adams! 

It was also lovely to see them all dressed up in their red, white and blue outfits for the occasion! 🥳🇬🇧

A Royal Celebration for Skylarks!

 Skylarks have loved celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee!

Take a peak below at some of the fun we have had...👑

What a Royal Day!

Kingfishers have had a fantastic day celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.  

They took part in many activties, inlcuding making some fantastic crowns.

We read the book 'The Queen's Hat' and looked at a variety of different hats, discussing when we would wear each one.  Some of the children then designed their own hats.  

Other children enjoyed using playdough and other materials to make some 'Royal' cupcakes for an afternoon tea!

We looked at some coins and discussed how the Queen's head is always on our money.  Our Kingfishers enjoyed making some crayon rubbings of these and using their fine motor skills to fill in a silhouette of the Queen with our copper coins. 

This week we have been learning about castles, their features, and who would have lived in them.  The children wanted to change our small world table into a castle themed table.  We also surprised them with a mini castle roel play for them to decorate and play in.

Over the last few days we have also been discussing London and some of its' famous land marks.  We read 'Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?' and discussed the different places and the maps inside the book.  The children then enjoyed making their own maps of London, incorporating some of the land marks we had been thinking about.

Kingfishers had a wonderful lunch, enjoying music from the last 70 years.

We ended our day learning the National Anthem and perfecting our bows in assembly. 

We really have had a great day!
