Today in PE We have used the bats, balls and cones, we moved slowly, then fast, we played the traffic light game, making sure we were always looking and listening.

We have began our topic ‘All About Me’ and we started by looking at our body parts and facial features. We loved using construction to make up our body and describing the different parts. We practised using our body parts to move in different ways during our PE lesson and used loose parts to make…

This half term we have Yoga on a Monday. We have practiced lots of different jungle poses and have been building on creating a jungle story using them. We have perfected the parrot, tree and log pose!

Miss Curtis and Miss Edward’s both had such lovely things to say about the children and they…

The children have loved using their senses to explore the different materials. They have been using lots of vocabulary such as ‘soft, rough, smooth, fluffy’. Together we felt the materials and grouped them into the correct category.

Super vocabulary!

For our last Forest School session this academic year, we celebrated by enjoying a toasted marshmallow, more den building (this is our favourite activity), mud painting and chalking. The children truly do thrive in outdoor learning!
