Year R have been embracing the cold weather to start the New Year. They have been hunting and melting ice, playing 'ice' hockey and setting up polar play areas in class.
This week we have enjoyed performing our Nativity play, going to the Panto at the Northcott Theatre, visiting the church for a Christingle service and having a yummy Christmas lunch.
Year R class entertained in their first ever show. They were very eager singers and groovy angels, who made us all very proud.
Using the story 'Look Up' by Nathan Bryon as a starting point, the class have enjoyed lots of learning about space. The children learnt facts, thought about what they would see in space and what they would take on a space adventure.
There have been some spooky goings on in Year R this week. We have decorated the classroom, dressed up, made wands and helped a witch make potions for her spell book.
We walked with our Year 5 buddies to South Tawton Church to take part in the school Harvest Festival. Back in class we have made Autumn patterns and pictures and practised our letter sounds to start reading words.
We enjoy stories everyday in Year R. As part of our literacy work this half term we have learnt about 'The Fox and the Star', 'I am Henry Finch' and 'My Shadow is Pink'.
We enjoyed the wonderful early autumn sunshine in our forest area this week. The children helped gather sticks for our camp fire before making autumn wreaths and salt dough hedgehogs. We all liked the hot chocolate and hedgehog themed story to end the morning. |
