Our new and improved Outdoor Learning

Outdoor Learning

This week we opened our new Forest School and some of the children have enjoyed their first forest school session. The children loved the new equipment such as the mud kitchen and made clay tree faces, fairy doors and clay woodland animals. 

Maple

The learning in Maple Class this week has been amazing! Year R children have been working on creating repeating patterns and counting to 3 in Maths, whilst children in Year 1 have been learning to partition numbers using the part-whole method. In RWI Phonics, Year R are using the magnetic letters to build words and are developing brilliantly as emergent readers. 

Rowan

This week Rowan class have been learning all about the life and accomplishments of Katherine Johnson, the woman who helped astronauts land on the moon and saved the Apollo 13 mission. In English they wrote a postcard as Katherine back to her their loved ones to tell them all about what she had achieved while working at NASA. 

Aspen

This week in Aspen. We were looking at colour mixing and the differences between tints, tones and shades. The children explored and these can be made and we discussed how this can influence artist perspective.
