  • We Remember

    Published 12/11/23

    This week we have learnt about, and celebrated, important people who help to keep our country safe and people from the past who influence events that we take part in today.

    At the REME museum in Lyneham we learnt about soldiers who risked their lives for our country and lots of the children in Darling class were able to talk about the jobs people in their family do in the army now. We took on the backpacker museum scavenger hunt, obstacle course and had a great attempt at the STEM challenge to work together and create a moving vehicle that could transport a tank.

     

      

     

     

     

    We also listened to stories about Guy Fawkes, why he tried to blow up the houses of parliament and why we celebrate bonfire night on November the 5th. As part of this we enjoyed creating talking about our own experiences of Bonfire Night and creating fireworks pictures on the ipads.

  • Doctor, Doctor

    Published 03/11/23

    To begin this term we kick-started our 'Superheroes we know' theme with a few fantastic books and stories to inspire our inner doctor.

    We have shared our own experiences of going to the doctors and hospitals and practised our listening skills as we heard about the experiences of others. 

    We have enjoyed learning the song 'Miss Polly had a Dolly'.

    We have also been practising some new vocabulary as we use the doctors' otoscope and stethoscope to help each other feel better, and we have definitely shown kindness and empathy as we have looked after our patients and written out prescriptions for their medicine...

  • Getting creative and starting to use our phonics in our play

    Published 18/10/23

    Reception might only have been learning phonics for six weeks, but we are already starting to see them apply their new-found knowledge in their play.

    From writing 'open' labels for treasure chests...

    tomaps for pirates to follow...

    then 'Danger' signs to warn others ...

    ...of the 'monsters' in the pit...

    and, of course, things got very exciting as the adventure expanded and play progressed!
