The Puffins were being artists in their ICT lesson today.  They used a package on Purple Mash that enabled them to express their creativity and become Impressionists.  A great effort by everyone.

Today we set our Funky Fingers the challenge of making a dough person, they did a fantastic job, what do you think?

Huge congratulations to all of the Puffins who took part in sports day this morning.  Despite the intense heat, you all tried your very best and were extremely competitive.  It was great to see you behaving so sensibly in front of all of your parents and relatives.  Well done…

We’v enjoyed preparing questions to ask Greta then taking it in turns to be Greta in the hot seat.  We also practised various freeze frames to retell a particular part of the story.  Great teamwork by everyone and the children were very enthusiastic.  Well done!

Miss Cawley came to visit and brought Oakley with her.  The Puffins were so excited and it was great to see how much Oakley had grown.  He was very alert and enjoyed seeing all of the children.  He even had a babble during our reading session!

A part of our Science lesson, Puffins went on a material hunt around our school and inside the classroom.  The children were great at spotting things made from plastic/wood/metal….  Tonight they have been challenged with going home and trying to identify different materials around their house.  We…

We’ve been editing our recount of our trip to the park.  Everyone was able to find something in their work that could be improved and some children went into even more detail about our little adventure.  

Well done to Connor who was presented with a certificate from Mrs Willis in assembly today.  She also commented on the fantastic dancing that she’d seen all of the Puffins doing in their PE session.  We have some movers in Puffins!

We went for a walk around our local area to gather key vocabulary to use in our English independent write.  We had a lovely walk along the canal before ending up in Hanley Park where we had time to explore the park and all of its exciting equipment.  Some people’s feet were very tired by the time…

As part of our Science lesson today, Puffins put what we’d be learning in class into practise and we planted some wild flower seeds in the school grounds.  Initially we talked about the different steps we’d need to follow in order to plant our seeds.  Once we’d gathered all of our equipment…

Puffins used their bodies to move in time to the music and to follow the beat of the music.  They enjoyed singing “high/low” extracts and clapping to copy the owls.  We have some real movers in this class!
