    Published 28/02/25, by kate Birchley

    We had a visit from Hendrix the pony today. He was a bit dirty from the wet weather so we learnt how to groom him. As we did such a good job, he let us have a little ride on him too.

    Published 07/01/25, by kate Birchley

    Today we were talking about firefighters and this led to talking about looking after each other and being kind. We have made a big class heart. So, when other people do kind things for us, we are going to share with our class and put a sticker on the heart.

  • Playdough trees...

    Published 09/12/24, by kate Birchley

    We made our tree shapes out of play dough, then decorated them with loose parts, we took them apart and kept making new designs.  Lots of chatter about what bits we were using, the colours, patterns and how many of each we could use to be 'fair'.

    Published 02/12/24, by kate Birchley

    Rather than throwing balls at our towers, we helped to make our own wrecking ball. We watched a real wrecking ball demolition. We made our own buildings and knocked them down.
