Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Nursery have been having a lovely time learning the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. We have acted the story out in role play and used puppets to retell it. As well as that we had a go at making porridge. It was interesting to see how the porridge is made with oats and milk and cooked on the stove. We then all enjoyed eating it just like the three bears.

Boys tag rugby

We all had a fantastic time at the boys tag rugby competition organised by Tiverton High School. The boys were a credit to the school showing great sportsmanship and team spirit. The matches were fast paced and exciting and there were some real stand out performances. Well done to all the boys.

Year 3 & 4 Art

This half term, Year 3/4 have been studying painting. We have practised colour mixing and the ‘wet-on-wet’ technique. We also learnt how to use a viewfinder to sketch landscapes and then used still-life to sketch, colour- wash and add pen detail to our paintings.

Year 3 & 4 PSHE

In PHSE year 3/4 have been learning about hopes and dreams. We have been working in teams to create funny potatoes. We had to use all of our TRAIN values to create our models, overcome  disappointed when some of ideas were not included.

These are the contestants in the funniest potato competition.

Year 1 Rockets

Year 1 made their rockets today! They added a nose cone and fins to make the rocket fly faster and then decorated them. At breaktime, they took the rockets outside to launch them!

New Library books

We are thrilled to share our new books heading into the library this week.

They are all thanks to your generous spending at our last two book fayres – this has enabled us to spend nearly £800 on new books.

From exciting authors like Percy Jackson and Michael Morpurgo, to visited authors like MG Leonard. We have books about football, animals, adventure stories and books to support us with our emotions.

Year 2 Computing

Year 2 have been practising their word processing skills in Computing this half-term.  They have been creating newspaper reports using images and text from the nursery rhyme ‘The Gingerbread Man’.

Forest school 3/4CP

Miss Pearson’s class enjoyed their second session of forest school. The children are making great progress with their Anglo Saxon huts. They used mud to create the walls and next week we hope to make a roof. There were many times today when children were in the learning pit but they all managed to get themselves out of the pit by using the resources and skills they already have.

Nursery Bird Watch

This week Nursery have taken part in the RSPB bird watch. We have enjoyed making bird feeders to encourage more birds into our outside area. We have tried really hard to be quiet outside and used binoculars to spot different birds.  We have also enjoyed watching a brave, cheeky squirrel who is visiting us daily to eat seeds from our bird box. He is very funny!
