We have had another exciting and festive week in Earls Hill class last week. We enjoyed signing in our carols around the tree celebration on Monday- I am sure you will all agree in how fantastic the class were!

On Monday we also enjoyed doing some ‘Christmas dough disco’… we are making our finger muscles strong ready for our writing!

In Maths this week Reception children have been exploring ‘parts and a whole’. We talked about different parts of our body and sang ‘head, shoulders knees and toes’. The children enjoyed using parts of a gingerbread man to make a whole picture. On Friday we enjoyed looking at triangles and circles. We found lots of them in our classroom.  They have worked really hard on their Maths this week- well done Reception.

On Thursday we enjoyed an indoor athletics PE lesson with Neil..

Our Year One children also performed ‘Little donkey’ in our church service on Thursday. They did a fantastic job and we all enjoyed watching the other classes!

On Friday we finished off our Science/Understanding the world topic and talked about the different habitats we have looked at. All of the children chose a large habitat and used the watercolours to create a painting of it. Well done Earls Hill… another fantastic week. We are looking forward to our Christmas parties and pantomime trip next week!!

Earls Hill class have had a fantastically festive and fun filled week! On Tuesday the children enjoyed dancing and playing party games at the school disco. They had some fantastic dance moves! On Wednesday we had a delicious Christmas dinner and wore our party hats that we had made in class. It was also lovely to see all of the children in their Christmas jumpers- many thanks!

In Literacy this week Year One children have been making a plan for their diary entry based on our text, ‘Nibbles’. Reception children have also been using their phonics knowledge to write captions based on their text, ‘The three little pigs’. In our D&T lessons this week the Year One children have been evaluating the chairs that they made last week for our teddy bear. The children used card and masking tape and came up with some brilliant design ideas.

Reception children have enjoyed Maths this week and have been comparing quantities.

We have also started our ‘Brilliant brushers’ teeth brushing programme for our Reception children and the whole class enjoyed a visit and talk from the dental nurse on Thursday! The children are now experts in teeth brushing.

We have finished the week by participating in the ‘Santa dash’ (we managed to miss the rain!), and we are looking forward to more festive fun next week…

Well done Earls Hill- you are just fantastic!

We have had another fantastic week in Earls Hill class. We began the week by learning about the Nativity Christmas story! We have also been learning our carol song, ‘Little Donkey’ in our Music lessons! Year one children have been looking at photography in Computing lessons and Reception children have enjoyed painting a picture of the ‘Big Bad Wolf!!. In our Design and Technology lessons we have been creating a chair for a teddy bear out of cardboard and masking tape. The children were fantastic at this challenge!

We ended the week by putting up the Christmas tree. We were very excited that the elf has come to visit our classroom! We can’t wait to see what he gets up to over the next few weeks…

Well done Earls Hill.

We have had another lovely week in Earls Hill class. On Monday we discussed kindness and anti-bullying week. We gave lots of good examples of how we are kind in our class. We enjoyed colouring in a pair of odd socks to take home. Reception children have enjoyed building during LEX time and Year One have drawn and labelled some fantastic pictures of structures in our D&T. We have also learnt some new nursery rhymes as part of nursery rhyme week and our reception children enjoyed getting their certificate! We have finished off the week by designing and making a mini beast hotel for our outdoor area. We can’t wait to see the bugs that come to live inside!

Well done Earls Hill.

Reception children have been doing ‘Funky Fingers’ activities and Year One enjoyed painting fireworks as part of our History topic. We finished the week off with a minibeast hunt around our outdoor area. Well done Earls Hill.
