Smiles and ice lollies all round today! A lovely little treat enjoyed by everyone to keep them cool. 🍡

Smeaton class have been keeping cool and looking at books at the same time! We enjoyed cooling off the in the cold water yesterday!

Last Friday, Firestone and Mayflower went to Dartmoor zoo to find out more about the animals that live in Kenya. We had two very interesting workshops were the zoo keepers were very impressed with our knowledge. We then had time to look around at the animals. It was a very enjoyable trip where we learnt lots more about the animals from Kenya. 🦁🐯🐵

The children in Smeaton class have enjoyed planting sunflower seeds and looking after them each day. We are excited to see the seedlings grow! Well done to all our gardeners! 🌻

Mount Batten Class have started a new Maths topic this week. We are going to be learning all about shapes. We began by looking at turns before moving on to angles. We established that a quarter turn is a right angle. Then, we took our right-angle measurers around the classroom to find examples of right angles. They are everywhere! 🟨🔺🟢🔷

Smeaton class have enjoyed exploring the outside environment this week despite the weather! We have been collaborating with our friends creating assault courses. We have also been experimenting with the sand and water. The children created some amazing bug houses and have also been practicing sending and receiving balls. Well done everyone!

In PSHE, Mayflower have been exploring the importance of showing appreciation and giving and receiving compliments. The children drew pictures of special people in their lives and wrote thoughtful compliments around them. It was wonderful to see the kindness and positivity they shared, with many children choosing to complement their friends in the class.
