Making A Difference Day

We were all busy little bees on 'Making a Difference' Day! We each brought a 50p donation into school so that we could come into school in non-uniform, and the money that we raised went towards buying lots of crocus bulbs so that we can help the Rotary Club to raise awareness of polio.
We helped to make a difference around our school by cleaning some of our toys, doing lots of gardening and sweeping up all of the rain water that had made a big puddle in our play area. We cleared up lots of leaves and learnt how we can help to make a difference in the future by putting them in our compost bin. We also learnt about lots of the people who help to make a difference in our own lives too. We love making a difference in Foundation!

'Celebrate!'

We started back at school today and our new topic for this term is 'Celebrate!' We have started our new topic by celebrating each other and finding out the things that each of us are good at. Today we had lots of fun being paired up with one of our friends so that we could play with them and find out what makes them special. At the end of this week on Friday morning we will present our friend with a Star Award in our very own awards ceremony in the hall to celebrate what we have found out about each other. We will get dressed up in our party clothes and have a real celebration! We hope lots of our grown ups will come to help us celebrate too!

'My friend is good at drawing.'

'My friend is good at reading.'

'My friend is good at counting.'

'My friend is good at listening.'

We started to make our Star Awards too!

Settling in Day

We have had a lovely day sharing all of our learning with our grown ups. They came into school so that we could show them all around our classrooms and all of the lovely things that we have been doing at school to make us more clever. They were all very proud of us and we all felt very proud of ourselves too.

The Countback Kid Maths Show!

This morning the children enjoyed watching a show by the Quantum Theatre Company.

The show was all about maths! 

The children learnt how to count using a number line.

They also had to count forwards and backwards on a number grid to solve problems for the Countback Kid.

We really enjoyed it!
