Write Dance

The children in Miss Davies’s class have been enjoying taking part in a literacy initiative called Write Dance. Miss Davies has been teaching the children to develop their pencil control and letter formation skills through dance. The children listen to music, practise a specific dance and then use the dance to draw on large pieces of paper. It has been great fun!

Outside and Gardening

The children have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine this term! We have been planting a variety of seeds, plants and flowers and have been recording their progress. We have also loved reading in the sunshine, building in the construction area and playing in the sand and water. Many thanks to Daisy Moon and her family who have also donated a wormery to our class. The children have collected fruit peelings which we placed in the wormery and we found loads of worms during our welly walks! 

 

Welly Walk - April 25th

The children and staff went on an exciting welly walk to observe whether the birds in the local area had eaten the bread, bird food and lard balls we had left for them previously. We were pleased to see that all the food we had left had been eaten up by the birds.

The children asked why we do not have many birds in our outdoor areas. We discussed birds habitats and how we could encourage birds to our school. As a result we are making bird feeders and nets to encourage birds to visit us. Look out for them in the Reception yard over the coming weeks!
