Craft Club 11.07.19- Slime!
We had a super- gooey, squishy time at our final craft club of the year on Thursday.
We made slime 🙂 Sorry grown-ups!
We had to be really careful when adding our activator to make sure we had the perfect consistency. We selected our colours and added sequins for a sparkly textured finish 🙂
Transition, pirates and picnics!
For F2 children, this week saw the first opportunity to spend time in their new classroom and with some old (now new) classmates. F1 have had their final stay and play with children joining us in September too. We have spent time talking about what we think might be different in September and discussing all the new experiences that we are excited for.
We used drama in Literacy to act out the thoughts of our main character in our story. In The Night Pirates, we met a group of “Rough, tough, little girl pirates” who manage to steal away treasure from the “grown-up” pirates! We made a ‘subconscious alley’ (or “thinking alley” for Foundation) where we said out-loud the thoughts of our character when he met the pirates. F2 then used these skills to write down some thoughts and speech of different characters from the story.
Junk modelling has been a returning favourite this week- we are always amazed at the imaginative, thoughtful models made in our creative areas!
We enjoyed our picnic outside Wednesday lunchtime:
Next week, our ‘Learn with me’ table top challenge is going to be to write your favourite memories from this year in Foundation Class. Please do visit the activity with your child to help them focus on the ‘reflection’ element of next week’s Living and Learning statement.
I know how to reflect and look ahead.
Notices for the final days next week:
-We will be sending PE kits home on Thursday after our final gymnastics session.
-Please return all reading books to school by next Thursday. We will be taking all of the books back in over the summer.
-Please bring in a large plastic carrier bag by next Friday to keep in your child’s drawer so that we can send home their things on the final day.
-On Friday afternoon, we will be having a ‘Writing Warriors’ linked end of year class party! No need to bring anything as we will be wearing school uniform 🙂
Living and Learning: I know how to cope with change.
Today we had a think about the different kinds of changes that happen in our lives. We sorted different kinds of changes into types that we can influence and times that we can’t. As a class, we came up with some strategies that could help us cope with changes that we can’t influence.
Step into The Secret Garden…
This afternoon we watched a super fun exciting production of The Secret Garden. The children all engaged well with this story. Ava said that she thought that the servants were funny. Dexter thought that it would be cool if there was a secret garden that we found. Take a look at the show.
Junior Warrior
Last week, Year 6 took part in Junior Warrior. Even though they were covered in mud and had been pushed to their limits, they smiled the whole way through!
Sports Day
Well done to all the children for showing resilience and determination in their races!
The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Today the year 2s visited the theatre. We watched a performance of The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Jacob said that his favourite part was when the tiger arrived. Mia’s favourite part was the tigerobics.
Wonderful Windchimes
Today in craft club we started making Windchimes. We used lollipop sticks and we threaded string with beads. The wooden beads will make a calming sound as they bump into each other in the wind. Take a look at our creations.
Living and Learning: I can make healthy choices.
Today we discussed the difference between making choices and healthy choices. We talked about what it means to be healthy. Lucas shared that trying to stay active is a healthy choice that he makes. As a class, we decided that healthy choices usually involve our wellbeing. Eliza suggested that it is really important to make healthy choices about our diet.
Tropical World
We had a fabulous day at Roundhay Park and Tropical World.
The children were so excited and enthusiastic. They behaved brilliantly throughout a long day and we are very proud of how they represented the school and themselves. Well done Foundation.
Thanks again to our parent volunteers Mrs Kwallah and Mrs Greenough who were a huge help today.
