50th Anniversary Fun Day

Sports Day. Well done everyone, you were all superstars!

We created our own Audio book ‘If I were a Pirate.’ We used our imaginations to think about what we would do if we were a pirate. We created our own drawings and then took a picture of them and recorded our voices to make our book.

Fun Run 2024. The rain didn’t stop us having fun! Well done to all the boys and girls. You were all fantastic!

Every Thursday we use the iPads to complete different Literacy and Numeracy activities. Today we were learning our numbers to 20, frequency words and counting pennies.

Anyone fancy some Mud Pie? Today we enjoyed the sunny weather playing in our Mud kitchen. We had some interesting food in our Mud cafe. We had snail sandwiches, nettle soup and lots of other crazy creations!

Today we walked to the park to learn about road safety and keeping safe at the park. We practiced crossing the road safely using the traffic lights and keeping safe on the footpath. When we were at the park we had a lovely picnic together and had some play time pretending to be Pirates.

We had lots of fun being very creative making treasure chests and pirate ships using junk materials. Look at our wonderful creations!

Today we celebrated St Patrick’s day. We read the story of St Patrick and then made our own shamrock wands. During play we also took part in lots of fun St Patrick’s Day activities. I was so impressed with how well the children listened and remembered the story of St Patrick so please ask them to share this with you at home!
