PE in the sun

Visit Standon Bowers!
After a fantastic residential, the children wrote their own persuasive leaflets for the future Oak Class to persuade them to go on our school trip!
Driver Training!
Oak Class we’re joined by Dr Allen, who led a driver training workshop for us in preparation for our Greenpower Race Day! We learned a lot and had lots of fun too!
Digital writing
We have been using the iPads to develop our typing skills. We know how to use the keys to type words, how to change the font size and the colour. Some of the children even added an emoji!
River Safety
Willow Class finished their learning in Geography by learning about the risks associated with the River Mease. The children shared some fantastic ideas before creating their own posters!
Gardening fun!
We had a lovely time this afternoon planting pea and cucumber seeds. We placed our pots carefully in the polytunnel and we will check them each week. Special thanks to Oliver’s parents for helping us!

Investigating how flowers grow
We have been reading “The Tiny Seed” and exploring the life cycle of a sunflower. We have been drawing sunflowers using pastels, exploring soil and seeds in a hands-on way and pretending to grow our own flowers in our garden den!
