ARCHIVED WORK
The second half of our Autumn term did not get any less busy than the first half. Our P.E. sessions saw us learning some footie skills from Tom, from Chris Wright services. We finished our phase 2 phonics and we are making super progress on our pathway to reading and writing. We learnt all about Hedgehogs- small nocturnal mammals, who have babies we call hoglets. We made poppy biscuits to remember people who had died during wars and in doing so helped keep us safe. Children in Need was celebrated by us coming to school in our pyjamas. In Art we created pictures in the style of Kandinsky.
We compared the festival of Bonfire Night to that of Divali. Our Christmas celebrations were many- our nativity was shown through social distancing over a couple of days. We made decorations for the village Christmas tree as well as our own trees at home. Mrs Benson made us some yummy food for our Christmas dinner and our Christmas parties - thank you Mrs Benson.
we look forward to our spring term but first we are going to enjoy our Christmas break with our friends and family.
A busy first half of the Autumn term 2021
Wow where has the first half term of the year gone? One day I was welcoming my new class and now I am looking at them and thinking how much they have settled and how much they have achieved. They are a super lot of children and I am enjoying every minute with them. Here is a little snap shot of what we have been up to.
After some of lockdown three restrictions were lifted,which allowed us to return to school, we had four weeks in school before the Easter break. We crammed a lot into those four weeks - we spent a lot of time re-establishing routines and expectations and enjoyed being back together - one of our friends left to join a new school but we were also joined by another friend, Enya, who made our band of eight compete. We enjoyed cricket with Cricket Chris, raised our chicks (a much enjoyed annual activity at this time of year), developed our knowledge of the Easter story through crafts and food technology. We shared lots of stories and competed some consolidation of maths concepts (we enjoyed a week on the census - held a classroom count as well as completing a small world ‘farm’ and ‘doll’s house’ census.
we hope you enjoy looking at some of the photographs and videos below. Bring on that summer term - after we have re charged our batteries of course !
Raising our chicks
Once again, thanks to Mrs Laydon, we had chicks in class 1 this spring time. Mrs Laydon let us borrow her incubator as well as providing the eggs to incubate. We had to wait 21 sleeps before our first chick hatched. We loved watching and looking after them but best of all we loved cuddling them. It was a very sad day when we had to say good bye to them. They now live in Mrs Laydon's garden shed - when they are bigger they will move to the garden itself before living at the family allotment. Thank you once again Mrs Laydon we loved having the chicks in our class.
Human Symmetry
The Busy Bees were learning about symmetry. To show their understanding they made some super Human Symmetry pictures. Well done to all of you.
Sunday 2nd July Football festival at Tarn Close Playing Fields, Cockermouth
We were invited to take part in this festival which was organised and promoted by Cockermouth Town Junior Football Club. Mr Allport (Finn and Abe's dad) kindly agreed to manage a group of our keenest players. We had a lovely afternoon and played our hearts out - making our parents, grandparents and Mrs Taylor very proud.
An afternoon at Brigham Park
While our new Reception children were settling in and only attending for half a day, we took the chance to treat our year one children to an afternoon at the village park.
Pudsey Day (Children in Need November 2016)
We raised money for this worthwhile charity by paying £1 to come to school in our pyjamas and bring our favourite cuddly toy too. We had a great day - listening to Teddy Bear stories as well as making huge spotty biscuits. We decorated our own spots to be added to Pudsey and Blush. We then had to estimate how many spots were on those famous bears (very tricky).
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
