Happy New Year!

What a first week back at nursery, We have had snow and ice, which we enjoyed out on the field making footprints in the snow and finding different shapes in the ice.

We all helped paint a giant snowflake.

There was a sensory activity in the water tray using oranges and lemons to explore our senses of touch and smell. We have been practising our fine motor skills by using scissor skills cutting out shapes also using tweezers and scope grabbers to pick up pom pom's. We had a fun in a winter tuff tray learning what animals live in cold climates while Mrs Deacon read us a story. Outside learning children where turn taking and sharing putting balls through a basketball hop, building a bug house and sharing knowledge what wild animals eat. We celebrate RSPB big garden birdwatch, where we learned about what kind of birds visit our nursery garden the children did some grate mark making by ticking of the birds we seen on our checklist chart. We did a spot off cooking where children made chocolate rice cake bird nests with Mrs Symons the children had a great understanding that when we had to warm up a bar of chocolate for it will melt to make it easy for us to mix in the rice crispy's. We did lost of expressive art and design activities where we made bird masks using different coloured feathers, we also did Owl baby's where we use different tolls and materials to get the perfect texture for our pictures. As our topic is winter we talked about what birds like cold weather. We also did great size comparing when we used different size heart shape to make a penguins. The children had great fun making our bird feeders we mixed lard and bird seeds together the push the mixture into the moulds and piped the in the fridge too hard. We took a walk done to the school woodland area where the children chosen a perfect tree to hang the feeder. We sat very quietly in the outdoor classroom to watch the birds visit the woods.

First couple of weeks of the spring term

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

The weather has given us a bit of an unsettled start to the term. We've gone from snow with later starts to the day and storms forcing us to close early. However in between we've managed to fit in lots of learning. Reception have been trying hard to improve their pencil control through drawing club and have created some lovely pictures linked to our class story 'The storm whale'. Our theme this half term is fairytales so we've started with 'Goldilocks and the three bears'. We've made collage bears and retold the story using props. Year 1 having been looking at different houses in DT and have designed and made a house for either a doll or an animal.

Nativity

The children all did an amazing job in the nativity. Here are some photos of them looking fantastic in their costumes. They all remembered their lines and said them so loudly and clearly.

Eden

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

We all had a lovely day at the Eden project. We went straight down to the skating rink and had a play on the ice. We played on the sledges, cars, bikes and in the house and with the diggers. After we had some lunch whilst we watched Jays ice skating. We finished off the day by warming up by walking around the biomes. Whilst in the biomes we hunted for different colours and we managed to find every colour of the rainbow. We also got to see some geckos. The highlight of our day was climbing all the steps up to the viewing platform in the biome. It was so high and all the people below looked really small.

Christmas

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

We've enjoyed a variety of festive activities over the last couple of months. We've made a variety of crafts such as; robins using recycled baubles, hand print Christmas trees with the help of our families, paper chains, bead baubles for the outdoor Christmas tree and Christmas cards for our families. We enjoyed Christmas dinner with the whole school and had a party in our class. We also all had a turn at delivering the Christmas cards around the school.

Snow!

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

We all enjoyed some time in the snow this week. We explored the snow in different places, built mini snowmen and had a snowball fight. We were a bit chilly after so we warmed up with a nice cup of warm milk.

Outdoor fun

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

This week the children have been having fun with the new resources in the outdoor area. They have we had a cafe on the go with waiters and waitresses and a building site. The builders also took a 5 minute break to go and have tea and biscuits in the cafe.

w/e 23.1.26

It has been another packed and purposeful week for our Year 4 and Year 5 children, full of creativity, curiosity and important conversations.

In Geography, the children developed their map skills by locating the world's deserts. They used atlases and maps to identify where deserts are found and began exploring what makes these environments so unique. This learning fed beautifully into our work in English, where the children have been building their grammar knowledge in preparation for writing their own desert diaries. The children have worked hard on sentence structure and detail, getting ready to bring their diary writing to life.

Some of our children were lucky enough to attend an art workshop at the local library, where they took part in creative activities and explored different artistic techniques.

In Science, the children investigated electricity through hands-on learning. They explored complete and incomplete circuits, testing what worked and what did not by using lamps, buzzers and motors. This practical work helped them develop a clear understanding of how circuits function and encouraged lots of problem-solving and teamwork.

We also began our new DT unit, where the children will be designing and making a book cover. They have started thinking about purpose and design, and will be choosing a fastening of their choice as part of their final product.

In RE, the children continued their learning about racism, engaging in thoughtful discussions about fairness, respect and treating others equally. This linked well with our PSHE lessons, where we focused on staying safe and speaking out, supported by guidance from the NSPCC. The children showed maturity and care when discussing how to seek help and support.

Our guided reading sessions linked closely to both our Islands topic and our science learning about electricity. A real highlight was watching a short clip from Billy Elliot, where Billy describes dancing as feeling like electricity through your body. The children particularly enjoyed making connections between this powerful description and their scientific understanding of electrical energy.

In French, we began an exciting new unit on habitats, learning new vocabulary and listening carefully to spoken French as we explored different environments.

It has been a busy and engaging week, and we are very proud of the enthusiasm, curiosity and thoughtfulness the children have shown across all areas of learning.
