Nursery - Literacy - 'We're Going on A Leaf Hunt'
The story Nursery class have been enjoying this week has been 'We're going on a leaf hunt'. We used the scenes from the story and a bit of imagination to go on our very own leaf hunt. The children were observant of their surroundings and found areas in the nursery garden that had similarities to our story. The children were encouraged to copy sound effects and positional language used in the story as they made different movements with their bodies. The children climbed to the top of a big hill, walked through the dark dark forest, rowed across the cold cold lake, found a house to hide from the skunk and with a bit of help from Miss Cooney, the children experienced a waterfall!
Teaching Cycle Safety
Cycling can be a fun and healthy way to pass the time for children and young people – encouraging them to go outside and stay active, while also spending quality time with parents, carers or other trusted adults. It’s also a useful skill for adult life: teaching youngsters how to use a cheaper, healthier and more eco-friendly method of transportation where possible. However, the risk of injuries that cycling carries can quickly put young people off the hobby. If a child is being introduced to cycling as an activity, it’s essential that they’re also taught how to stay safe while out and about. This free guide offers you expert advice on how to practise safe cycling and preserve the wellbeing of children when going out for a ride.

Reception - PE - Balancing
This half term Reception Class are going to be learning fundamental PE skills. This week we started with balancing. The children had to walk around on their heels and their toes. For our next activity the children had to move around the hall, remembering to keep their space, running, jumping, walking backwards and hopping. I shouted stop and named a body part and they had to put that body part on the floor. Once they were feeling confident with this, the children had to move in different ways with a hoop on their head. This was tricky, especially when they had to step over the hurdles!
Reception - PE - Following and Copying a Parter.
Today the children had to move in a variety of ways with a partner, trying really hard to stay in their space. They then had to copy actions with a partner, moving in and out of a hoop.
Year 1 - P.E - Dribbling
Year 1 enjoyed a Ball Skills lesson that taught dribbling skills. The children practised their dribbling around cones, then they played team games where they used their defence skills against the other team.
Year 1 P.E - Balancing and Throwing and Catching a Ball.
Year 1 warmed up by pretending to be turtles with shells on their backs to practise their balancing skills. Later they developed throwing and catching techniques in pairs.
Reception Class - PE - Moving In Different Ways
In PE this week Reception have been moving in different ways through our imaginary forest. We had to walk or crawl over the tree stumps, jump over the flowers and over the lilypads and avoid the snakes. When the children heard 'the trolls are coming' the children had to find their space.
