This week in our Health and Well-being sessions, Reception learners have been exploring the concept of responsibility. Through a practical activity with ‘Jigsaw Jenie,’ the learners have taken responsibility for planting and growing cress. Everyone has worked hard to ensure the cress receives everything it needs to grow healthily.
Learners from Reception to Year Two have been learning about self-portraits in their Expressive Arts lessons. Some learners experimented with different media and chose the one they felt worked best to create their self-portrait, while others learnt new sketching techniques. All the learners demonstrated impressive attention to detail, carefully considering colour, shape, and size in their artwork.
Some of our younger learners have been busy exploring pattern in their Mathematics and Numeracy lessons. They have engaged in a range of experiences, including creating patterns with music, natural materials, body movements, and concrete resources.
The learners within the Eco-Committee are thrilled to showcase the new signs for Forest School, purchased with some of the money raised from last term’s second-hand clothing sale. Learners throughout the school are excited to use them during their Forest School sessions. Don’t they look fantastic!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been having fun with the Bee-Bots, Sphero’s and coding on the computer this week. Some learners had to direct the Bee-Bot to order the planets while avoiding the aliens along the way. Another group had to direct the Sphero with control through a maze to order the planets, and other learners had to program the rocket on the computer to reach each planet. The learners showed excellent perseverance, concentration and determination throughout. Well done Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
