Today the children in Class 1 had their second assembly. The children have been reading and learning all about the story Stick Man and today they retold the story for their grown-ups and the children in our school. They did a fantastic job, well done Class 1!

On Thursday the children in Reception went on an Autumn walk around Simonside. They looked out for different signs on the road as well as signs of Autumn. The children walked past the shops, they visited Simonside Church yard and even saw the metro. We had a wonderful morning!

The children in Reception had a wonderful visit from Hoopstarz today!

The children in Reception have settled so well into their new class and they have had a great first week! Have a look at our photos to see what they did.

The children have had so much fun on a super sound hunt this week!

We did a different kind of PE lesson today. We worked on our gross motor skills using our trim trail. Some of us even managed to get all the way along the monkey bars!

The children discovered dinosaur poo in our outdoor area this week. They thought of ways we could clear it up and then brought it inside to investigate. They thought of some amazing adjectives to describe the poo, they were able to make a list of these and use them in a sentence.

Class 1 had so much fun in our road safety assembly. They answered questions amazingly and showed such super understanding of how to stay safe beside roads and while crossing roads.

Class 1 have been reading Winnie in Winter this week. They talked about Winnies feelings at different points throughout the story and discussed what had made her feel like that. They loved playing corners outside – they looked at a picture from the story and had to run to a face  of how they thought Winnie was feeling.

This week the children read the story of Leaf Man. They then went outside and created their very own leaf creatures using natural objects. They had such good ideas and really used their imagination! A leaf creature has got to go where the wind blows...
