Foundation Christmas Performance

The Owls and Wrens class have been busy practising for their performance next week. Don't they look great in their costumes!

Healthy Foods

This week we have been thinking about the food we eat. Which foods are healthy and help us to grow? We know that it okay to eat some foods that aren't healthy as long as we only have a little of them. Here are our pictures of foods and drinks we think are healthy ... can you see the picture you drew Owls?

Samba workshop

Today we had a Samba music workshop as part of our international week. We learnt how to play some Brazilian Reggae Samba rhythms and pulses. We used lots of instruments including hakka hakkas (maracas), agogos (two tone percussion), claves and lollypop drums. The Owls and the Wrens were brilliant at copying and playing the rhythms using words to help. We had lots of fun, here are some pictures of our music day.

Harvest food

We have been using the playdough to make harvest food. Can you see what we has made? this week we are making fruit kebabs using playdough and real fruit (not together though). We are learning to count 10 objects accurately by putting 10 fruits on the stick.

Autumn time

Owls class have been out and about this term to see the changes in the local area. We have been collecting leaves, nuts, pine cones and acorns to use in our play tray and we have used magnifying glasses to study the lines and patterns to draw and display our work. The children will be planting some seeds in our play area garden ready for next Spring! Curtis, Abbi and Evie had fun with the magnifiers.

Owls class Festival of Sukkot

As part of our R.E curriculum, the Owl's class were learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot which is celebrated at this time of year. It celebrates the Story in the bible of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt across the Red Sea and into the wilderness. They would make shelters to protect themselves from the elements and God would send down food from heaven for them to eat. Jewish people remember this journey by making shelters in their gardens or in their homes and decorate them with leaves and other natural items. They then eat their meals in the Sukkah for the week of the celebration.
