Fun Outdoors

To paraphrase the old saying, “There’s no such thing as bad weather…so long as you wear the right clothes”.  The changing temperature certainly doesn’t put off our children even if it means Mrs Lister and Mrs Hutcheson getting cold toes.

We know lots of helpful people

Our topic this term is people who help us, so we have had lots of visitors and we have been looking around school too for helpful people.  We are very lucky as some policemen came to see us and brought their car with the flashing lights and noisy siren. One of our class friend’s mammy is a doctor and she came to see us and let us use some of her equipment.  She’s amazing as she has two jobs! She is a mam and a doctor.  Another friend in our class has a mammy who is a midwife (that’s someone who helps deliver babies) and she came to tell us how she helps mums and their new babies and showed us some of the things you need to use.  We are still waiting for the fire brigade to come and bring their big red engine.  Fingers crossed.

Maths of the Day Fun

In Maths of the Day we move around and be active finding out the answers.  We enjoy doing maths work because we work with our friends and Motty keeps an eye on who is doing it properly and well.

Here Maths of the Day was about understanding numbers and counting.  In one of the games we had to do the exercise on the spot the number of times on the card, so we were keeping fit while learning too.

Being Friends means…

being there for one another.   A beautiful example.

Enjoying the Fruits of Harvest

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Reception children have been learning about harvest time and the lovely berries to be collected and made into jam. They have also been listening to stories about Percy the Park Keeper.  Percy is a lovely fellow who shares his jam sandwiches with his park friends.  So what better way to practise our knife skills, think about harvest and pretend to be Percy making his packed lunch … scrummy jam sandwiches.

 Wash your hands before dinner!

Our new Reception children have mean exploring textures.  They’ve been squeezing, squidging, stroking and sifting cold porridge, shaving foam, rice and gloop through their fingers.  They had a go at describing how it feels too, coming up with lovely descriptive words like “sticky”, “gritty”, “hard”, “squishy” and “gooey”.

Definitely wash your hands!!!!

Mixing magic.  First paint a hand and press on the paper.  Next paint your other hand and press again. Now rub your hands together and what have you got? Orange! Green! Purple! Wow!!
