People Who Help Us in Nursery

This week in Nursery our topic has been ‘People who help us.’ The children have been having lots of fun learning about and dressing up as Firefighters, Police Officers, Vets, Doctors, Post People and Mechanics. 

Animals in Year 1

In science we are learning about carnivores, omnivores and herbivores.  We looked at their teeth to try and work out what they would eat.  We then sorted the animals.

Imaginary Lands in Year 1

In English we have been exploring settings.  The children made up their own places and described them.  Which place would you like to go to ? ‘The trees are tall and bushy.  The clouds are fluffy like a cat.  The forest is very warm and welcoming.  There is a path that leads to the sea.’ […]

Girls Football Festival

On Thursday, selected girls from Year 3 and 4 took part in a Girls Football Festival which took place at Sutton Primary Academy. The festival was based around taking part and having fun rather than being competitive. The girls played small-sided games, with the focus being dribbling and finding space. They enjoyed this as it […]

Experiments in Year 1

This week in Year 1 we investigated what happened when we added water to a plate with skittles on. We found out that when the water was added, the food colouring dissolved and the colours made a beautiful rainbow. After this, we were full of questions… “What would happen if we used different sweets?” “Would […]

Explorers in Nursery

The Nursery children enjoyed visiting the Eco garden to become mini explorers, on the hunt to find some minibeasts. They used magnifying glasses and searched high and low, looking under rocks, logs and leaves, finding lots of woodlice, beetles, ants, flies and snails. We found evidence of caterpillars when we saw some leaves that had […]

Mini Beasts in Nursery

We have really enjoyed learning about mini beasts in Nursery! This week we have been busy exploring different media to create our favourite creepy crawlies, paying close attention to their features and patterns. This has given us a lot to talk about as we have discussed the differences and similarities between these little critters and […]
