We have had great fun learning about space with Ms Kelly. We learned about Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, we described aliens and sang some space songs. During playtime we have had great fun dressing up as astronauts and aliens. We also printed pictures of outer space and made rockets. Have a look at some of the pictures that we took here....

Room 3 have been learning a new song that we would like to share with you. The song is called The Wise Man. We particularly enjoyed performing the very end of this song so make sure that you watch it until the end! We hope you enjoy...

Room 7 have been busy bees learning all about the Post Office this month. We have learned about the people who work in the Post Office and we have been using lots of new vocabulary in the role-play centre like parcel, letter, stamp, envelope, first class, air mail, cashier, address and postman. We have learned to weigh parcels and letters to ensure the correct stamp is given and we learned a new rhyme called ‘The Postman’! In addition, we have really enjoyed reading a story about the Jolly Postman. The Jolly Postman had a busy job delivering letters to lots of our favourite story characters – Cinderella, Goldilocks, the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. We liked this story so much that we decided to write our own letters and postcards. Then we were lucky enough to get the chance to visit the Post Office in Citywest Shopping Centre to post the letters we carefully wrote. We can’t wait until they arrive! Have a look at some pictures we took...

Over the last month, Room 2 have been learning all about the community – the people and place where they live. They talked about all the different people who help them in their school community and their local community, including secretaries, garbage collectors, teachers, nurses, mechanics, vets, police men and women, and shop keepers. They also had a visit from two firefighters, who taught them all about fire safety and even let them try on their firefighting gear! They loved playing in the Doctor’s surgery, using all of their special medical instruments and words, and sang and acted out lots of related rhymes including Miss Polly and Doctor Foster. They did a fantastic job of acting out and ordering their new story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt as well. Room 2 have also been learning all about their bodies- how to make them grow strong, keep them safe, and how to draw them by using different lines and shapes! They made wonderful x-ray prints of their arms and hands in Art, and really enjoyed tracing around eachothers bodies in PE, and comparing their heights in Maths by making a height chart- have a look at them at work (and play!) here. Well done Room 2, you are Super Stars...

What’s new in Second Class? Second Class have really been enjoying their PE classes for the past week, as we are learning all sorts of new moves! From stretching and flexibility exercises, to the tuck ‘n’ roll and walking the beam, the whole class has been getting involved. We have also started 2017 off on the right note, learning two whole songs in our first week back. ‘The Green Machine’ and ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ are great fun to sing and act out. We especially like all the sound effects in ‘The Green Machine,’ even though we’re still trying to figure out what kind of machine it is! In History we have been learning about Alexander Graham Bell; a famous Scot who invented the first telephone. We saw pictures of some of the first telephones ever made and compared them to the phones we have now. We took a vote on the phone we would prefer and the smartphone won hands down- no surprises there! Check back soon to follow our learning in Room...
