Changing seasons

The Forest Schools fairies set us a challenge to spot any changes that had occurred in the forest schools area over the Christmas holidays. We took photos of anything we spotted with the i pads. We learnt to focus in on the object we are taking the photo of using the i pads. We worked together as a team to take the photos, cooperating and taking turns.

Phoneme search outdoors

As part of our Phase 3 phonics learning we are learning to match lower case and CAPITAL letters. We took our phonics learning outside and matched CAPITAL letters and lower case letters.

Exploring musical instruments

On Thursday afternoon we explored the sounds different musical instruments made.

Frosty writing

One frosty Wednesday morning we practised letter formation “Round Gabi’s head and wrap her scarf” on the frosty playground.

Making Christmas cakes

Before the Christmas holidays we talked about Christmas traditions and we used Mrs Noden’s Granny’s Christmas cake recipe to make our own Christmas cake gifts. We also decorated them in the traditional way.

A Forest Schools Christmas treat

At the end of the Autumn Term the Forest Schools fairies sent us a treat for an in door Forest Schools session. They sent us the items to make our own hot chocolate, which we all had a go at. They also sent some delicious Christmas cakes and a pass the parcel game with a Christmas book as the prize – “Dogger’s Christmas”.

They also sent us the things we would need to make some lovely wooden disk tree decorations.

Forest School photography

We learnt to take photos using the i pads applied what we had learnt taking photos of the new plants growing in the Forest Schools area.

Remembrance Day

We made our own Remembrance Day wreath using scraps of red fabric and then tied them onto a conifer wreath. We walked to the War Memorial at St Luke’s Church, Hodnet to lay the wreath we had made. We looked at the names on the war memorial.

Vegetable Soup

When we were learning the phoneme v we all bought in our favourite vegetables, we counted them and made equal amounts on our own tens frames. We then created observational drawings of the vegetables and cut them up to put in a class soup. We talked about how the vegetables had changed when they had been cooked.

A Visit from a Tudor Queen

We had a visit from a Tudor Queen who told us what life was like as a Queen a long time ago, we also had a pretend Tudor feast!
