In Coots we have lots of time to learn and play together. These children are learning to take turns and follow game playing rules, others are mark making and exploring writing with their friends.Â
Classes
Kingfishers Music
Kingfishers performing David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ ballad.
We are learning our sounds!
We work in groups to learn our sounds. We made woolly sheep when learning ‘sh’.
Round Turn and Two Half-Hitches
This week in Forest School we used reef knots to connect ropes to each other, and a new knot – the round turn and two half-hitches – to construct sturdier shelters suspended between trees. Some children performed their own dance and puppeteering shows for classmates. At the end, we all came together for some hot squash and a high energy snack of flapjacks freshly made over the fire. A wonderful end to a chilly week!
Forest School – Teamwork
Forest School is all about teamwork and today Grebes worked together to saw branches and build dens. Some children chose to clear brambles with the loppers to make the Forest School area safer.
Cross Country Running
On Wednesday 13th November, the members of our brilliantly-attended cross country club went to Coltishall to race against other local schools. Our children did us proud!
French
Kingfishers have been working hard on greetings in French.
Grebes Forest School
Grebes loved their first Forest School afternoon with Mrs. Grieve. They learned the rules of Forest School, made name tags tied with reef knots, had a campfire and enjoyed some free exploration time.
Bonfire Forest Schools
The Bitterns enjoyed a fantastic ‘Bonfire Night’ special Forest School session, learning about fire safety, roasting marshmallows, making s’mores and getting creative with a bit of poetry!
A big thank you to Mrs Grieve for making it so inspiring!
BFG WANTED Posters
Kingfishers have created WANTED posters of their giants linked to our writing and reading unit ‘The BFG’.
