If you go down to the woods today...

Due to parents evening the blog hasn't been updated but here is what we have been up to over the last few days...

FS2 have been looking at unusual homes. Amber made a lighthouse including rocks!

Molly B also made a lighthouse with lots of windows.

On Wednesday we went on a walk to Frith Wood. The children had lots of fun and decided to build shelters from all the large branches that they found.

Year 1 went hunting for animals and their different homes. We then recorded what we found. We even heard a woodpecker. It was really loud. Mrs Wallace went on a hunt to try and find it but there were just too many trees!

We were all exhausted when we got back to school after all the walking.

Our Local Area

FS2 are looking at the book 'My Mum' this week and thinking about why their mums are special to them. We also talked about the different members of our family.

Year 1 are currently practising how to count on in their head when adding two number together.

This afternoon we went on a walk around the local area. Mrs Wallace had a list of things that we had to find including a red lion, a worm, sheep, a deer and various horse shoes. We did lots of looking and managed to find nearly everything.

The year 1 children were thinking about what it is like living in Eastcombe. They talked about the best bits about Eastcombe and what they dislike.

Spaghetti Week Day 4

The last day of Spaghetti week. We made our names in either dried or cooked spaghetti.

The photo frames that we made yesterday were decorated further by using cooked spaghetti. the children made spiral shapes, patterns and zig zags.

DIARY DATE: 'Bring your Dad to School Day' (or stepdad, grandad or uncle) on Thursday 16th June. It will be between 9am - 1:30. Come all morning or just drop in (even if it is just for lunch!)

Spaghetti Week Day 3

We have begun to make spaghetti photo frames. They took a very long time to make. The children had to have lots of patience. Tomorrow we will complete them by using cooked spaghetti.

We also made spaghetti mazes in the playground. We had to be able to drive a car around it. Some people had some dead ends in their maze to catch people out.

Tomorrow is the last day of spaghetti week and we will present what we learnt and found out on Friday to the rest of the school. Keep a look out for our spaghetti work that will be sent home on Friday.

Take a look at www.oxfordowl.co.uk. It is a brand new website and full of brilliant e-books and fun reading ideas. It also has the phonic sounds and how to say them correctly. Well worth a look!!

Spaghetti Week Day 2

Today we ate spaghetti for our lunch!

We all went to chef school to learn how to cook spaghetti, which was then eaten for lunch! Check out our chef hats that we made as well. Every good chef needs a hat!

We measured the playground using spaghetti.

And we went on a spaghetti hunt on the Village Green.

All in a days work in Class 1!

REMINDER: PE tomorrow, so come to school wearing your PE kits please.
