In RE this week, the Reception children have been talking about how people have favourite places. This might be a church, a place at home or somewhere outdoors.
As part of this, they each picked their favourite area of our classroom.

Just before the Easter holidays, we were lucky enough to be gifted some British tree saplings. Purple Frogs planted some Oak and Acer saplings in the grassy area next to the outdoor classroom. We hope these will grow in to strong mature trees and we can develop an amazing outdoor learning space.

The trees will take a long time to grow to maturity but what a lovely legacy the children will leave for future generations who attend Poolsbrook Primary Academy .

In Literacy this week, the Nursery children have been looking at 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' text.

They used pictures of the foods the caterpillar ate and played a memory game. We spread out 6 of the foods and took turns to close our eyes while one person removed one of the food cards. We then had to open our eyes and see if we could work out/remember which one was missing! They were brilliant!

This is a great game to play at home to build good observation and memory skills. You can play it with any objects you have around the house, toys, food, sweets, teddies, clothes anything really!

Send a Dojo message if you do have a go and let us know how you got on. 😊

In Maths this week, our Nursery children have been super busy looking at building with 3D shapes. We thought about which shapes would roll and which ones would stack.

We also learnt about positional language. The children were very good at using the correct vocabulary such as next to, under, on, in, above, in front and behind. Well done Nursery!

A great Red Nose day Bake Sale today. A huge thank-you to all parents and carers for the donations.

As you can see, the cakes disappeared faster than I could get round with the camera! I think the children enjoyed them. 😉

In one of our enquiry lessons this week, we talked about the life cycle of a plant. We planted a bean seed in a bag. We used cotton wool instead of soil and stuck the bags on the window so the seeds could get some light.

We used bags and cotton wool so that we can observe the changes as the seeds grow. We wouldn't be able to see anything happening if we used pots and compost.

It has only been a couple of days and we can already see some of our beans have started to grow. We will be keeping a close eye on them and watering them regularly.

We all named our bean seeds. Ask your child what they named their bean! 😊

Exciting development! Our caterpillars are starting to build their cocoon/chrysalis. It won't be long before they turn in to beautiful butterflies!

Our nursery children are invited to bring in a teddy bear or soft toy from home tomorrow.

We will be using it in our Maths to learn about positional language.

Reception children do not need to bring anything this time. 😊

Our caterpillars are growing bigger by the day! It won't be long until they start building their chrysalis/cocoon.

We learnt that the webbing is a caterpillar's natural way of protecting itself out in the wild. They spin the silk to fasten themselves to the underside of leaves and protect themselves from predators.

As the caterpillars grow, they shed their exoskeleton and grow a new one. A bit like getting new clothes when you outgrow them!

As you know, we had our Mother's Day Afternoon Tea event in school on Friday but did you know about the team behind the scenes?

We obviously have the wonderful members of the PTA to thank for all their hard work and organisational skills but there was another group of people hard at work behind the scenes......

The reception children made all the sandwiches under the watchful eye of two amazing boys from Blue Whales class. The reception children worked hard spreading butter and jam, adding ham and cheese to the sandwiches (obviously not all on the same sandwich ;-)). The boys were brilliant at supporting the younger children, encouraging them and showing them the best way to hold the knife to spread. They made sure the butter wasn't 2 inches thick ;-). They were especially good at organising the conveyor belt of production.

We also have a couple of girls from Blue Whales to thank for the delicious butter and jam on the scones. They were fantastic and worked independently the whole time.

Thank-you everyone, you are all superstars and your grown ups really enjoyed the food. Well done! We know who to come to when we need an event catering in the future! :-)

Definitely some future managers and caterers at Poolsbrook!

As part of our enquiry this week, we have been on a mini beast hunt 🪰🐌🐝🪱around the school grounds. We wanted to see which creatures lived in our community.

We took clipboards and our chart so we could record the mini beasts we found. We saw a fly, a bee, worms, a snail, slugs, woodlice, a millipede and a spider! Some were a little camera shy so we didn't get a photo of them 😉.

The children really enjoyed it and thought carefully about where minibeasts might like to live.
