Sketching leaves

In art this week the children have been sketching fallen leaves. They have used 'ghost drawing' to help them correct any mistakes and have made careful observations to see tiny details.

Learning about time

Today in numeracy the children were taught a numeracy lesson by Miss Kiff. They learned about telling the time and did lots of fun activities, including making a clock tower like Big Ben. Can you name the 3D shapes used to make this giant clock tower?

Forest Schools

This term we have started our Forest Schools on Monday mornings. At the weekend our forest school leader, Joe, became a father and was unable to make it into run the outside learning. Great news for him and we wish him well. He will be out next week as well but Forest School will start again the week after with group B getting their first chance to learn about the great outdoors.

Elves and the shoemaker

Last week the class did lots of work based on the Elves and the Shoemaker show we saw. We learned about symmetry by making pairs of shoes using paint and folding the paper, we wrote reviews of the show and we designed new shoes that could be made.

Some children came up with the great idea of writing to the shoemaker and sending our designs so that they could be made!

The Elves and the Shoemaker

KS1 have had a very entertaining afternoon. We have bee to the Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple to see The Elves and the Shoemaker. It was a great show and everyone enjoyed seeing the elves.
