Autumn is Here!

Take a look at the wonderful work we have done on the autumn theme. We went on an autumn nature walk and recorded the various signs of autumn - what we could see, touch, feel and smell. We brought in some autumn leaves, helicopters and blackberries that we found in our school grounds for our nature table and added to our collection by bringing other signs of autumn in from home such as acorns, oak leaves, conkers and pine cones. We painted some autumn leaf hedgehogs. We had fun experimenting with mixing various colours to make autumn tones. We worked in groups on autumn projects.

Hello Summer - Beach Scene Paintings

Given the sunny weather in May the 1 st and 2nd class children have been bringing the beach to life with their sand and sea  beach scene paintings. The children painted beautiful seaside landscapes and brought of sense of individualism to their work by adding in colourful flip-flops they each designed. They also added other items of interest such as beach balls, sandcastles, crabs etc.   These paintings are now proudly displayed in outside our classroom, spreading a bit of summer joy to everyone who walks by.

Garden Bird Projects

We are practising many skills during our garden bird groupwork projects. We are learning how to source information, rewrite key facts in our own words as well as building on sharing, listening, taking turns and working together. We are having great fun and we are learning lots about birds we see in our gardens and school grounds. Stay tuned for the finished projects!

Summer Dioramas

The boys and girls were busy little bees this May as they dived into a fun and creative project — designing and building their very own "At the Beach" summer dioramas! The children transformed shoe-boxes and recycled materials into miniature beach scenes with sandy shores, sun umbrellas, crabs, sandcastles, surfboards and undersea creatures to name but a few included. It was wonderful to see the children's creativity, spatial awareness and teamwork skills on show.  Take a look at their fantastic creations below!
