Class 1 had lots of fun exploring the new train station role play. They went on lots of journeys.
Reception have been learning about sharing and grouping. They shared some shells to make sure they all had equal amounts.
Pre-School have looked at the letter S this week.
Class 1 looked at waterproof materials. We carried out a science experiment to test how waterproof different materials were. This is so we know which is a good material to build a boat out of.
Pre-School had lots of sensory fun retelling ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’.
Today Reception have been busy adding 2 amounts together.
We have had a lovely time at our VE picnic.
In Art, we worked together to create a 3D landscape of Pendle Hill using natural materials.
This week we have wrote our own letter from the bears to Goldilocks saying how sad she made us feel when she broke baby bear’s chair.
We have started our new P.E topic which is Transport – the children have enjoyed pretending to be cars and learning about the traffic light system
The police came on their horses to visit us on Monday. This was very exciting.
In maths we are looking at numbers beyond 10 and verbally counting and recognising the patterns. The children played games were they had to spot which number tower was missing and we’ve also played go fish and the children got to pick a number of fish and we counted verbally how many we had altogether.
We’ve been spending a lot of time outside now that the weather is improving which means it’s getting hotter also – we would be really grateful if you could send in sun cream for your child labelled if possible in their bag and also a sun hat with their name in. We do have spare sun hats at school. Water bottles as well please.
This afternoon, 30th April, Mrs Duckett and the year 5’s came and told Class 1 all about Food for Life. The children voted for how to improve lunchtime and then they got to plant cress.
Pre-School have been learning about how to look after our bodies. One child said she likes to relax so we turned our playground into ‘Holy Trinity Spa’. Pre-School had a fantastic afternoon relaxing in the sun. 
We came into the classroom after our Easter break to find that someone had been in our woods. They had broken a chair, eaten some porridge and we found some golden hair. We investigated who it could be and decided it was Goldilocks! We then made some ‘wanted’ posters to try and find her.
We have been building numbers beyond 10 (up to 13)
We have been enjoying the lovely sunshine whilst doing our drawing club learning.
Something very exciting was parked in the car park today!
Following on from this we were invited to have a turn with the hose and look inside the fire engine. This was so exciting and the children were so well behaved.
we have enjoyed giving the ducklings a bath today. They have loved going for a swim! 🦆
Yummy hot cross buns for snack!
We have been busy making Easter cards.
Creating repeating patterns with actions and objects.
