This week, Reception have enjoyed celebrating the birthdays of Eddie Elephant, Jack Bear and Buddy Bee. We planned the parties and made presents, cards, decorations, cakes and jelly! We all had great fun at the parties, playing parachute games, musical statues and pass the parcel. Our birthday…

Spruce class have fully embraced Children in Need Day 2021. We all enjoyed our morning quiz workout with Joe Wicks!

We’ve had a very exciting time this week when we got some new classmates! In WAH we made our very own worm farm. Felicity is our Eco-warrior and is doing a great job of looking after them. She’s pointing out a worm above. 

In geography this week, we have been looking at map symbols and their meanings. We played a matching pairs game in small groups. We then used a map of our local area to spot different map symbols and copy them down into our books. 

ROMAN DAY!

We had such fun on Roman Day. Our costumes looked amazing. We learned some Latin, we built Roman Villas from Lego and we designed our own Banquet using some strange Roman dishes. Have a look at our photos. 

Poplar Class were invited to perform at the Winter Gardens Dance Festival. 

They have spent weeks practising and perfecting a dance routine, choreographed by Miss Anderson. 

Last night, they performed to an audience of over one thousand people and did Heyhouses extremely proud!

Today in PE we practised our hockey skills. We are getting really good at controlling the ball with our sticks and working as a team. 

Spruce have enjoyed analysing several computer games in their computing lesson today. They considered how difficult the games were, whether there were clear instructions and how they might be improved. As our lessons progress, we will be designed our own games and evaluating each others.

Spruce class have made felt poppies which they have been proudly wearing this week. We have also read and performed John McCrae's famous poem 'In Flanders Fields'. The children copied the poem into their English books and decorated it beautifully.

Today we explored Remembrance Day. We made our own poppies to remember the soldiers past and present. 

Today Maple class explored all about Remembrance Day. We made our own poppies to remember soldiers past and present.

We hope you enjoy looking at our photos of us with the poppies we made.
