This afternoon, the children built their own scarecrow to help the farmer.
We worked as a team to fill the clothes with hay and named the different parts of the body. The children had to do some problem solving to put all of his body parts together.
You can see our visitor, Harry O’Hay on the the railings in the EYFS yard.
This week we were set the tricky task of building our own Golden Gate Bridge!
What do you think of our creations?
Today we celebrated our Harvest Festival at Whitburn Parish Church. We had a fantastic afternoon singing Harvest songs, listening to our talented musicians and learning about the importance of plants during Harvest. We all designed a special leaf to show something that we are thankful for and these were used as part of a special prayer.
Thank you again for all of your generous donations. They will all be going to ‘Hospitality and Hope’ South Shields, where they will make a big difference to lots of peoples lives.
While the rest of the school were celebrating the Harvest Festival at Whitburn Parish Church, the afternoon Nursery children and a special helper made their own Harvest Soup. We used knives to chop up our vegetables and asked John to put the pan on the stove in the kitchen.
It was delicious! 😋
Today at Marsden we held a fundraising coffee afternoon for Macmillan cancer research and Diabetes UK organised by Mrs Elliott.
Thanks to your amazing generosity we raised a grand total of £341.37 to be split between the two worthy causes.
The winner of the staff competition was …… Me with my Nutella Swirl Loaf. 😁
We have had a brilliant week learning about our achievements in Year One. For homework, the children were asked to bring something into school that they are proud of, so that they could share it with the rest of the class.
We have lots of talented children in Year One!
Today the children in Nursery were very excited about their Number work because they were using smarties! We sorted them by colour, counted them and some children even made their own bar charts to find out which colour they had the most of.
Mrs Elliott and I were very proud, even if we didn’t get to eat any of the smarties! 😁🍬🍫
The Nursery children turned themselves in farmers in Maths. They needed to use the 3D shapes to build enclosures around the animals to stop them escaping. We talked about the size and shape of pens they created. Lots of fantastic shape, space and measure vocabulary from the children, well done!
In the Nursery, we have been learning all about the story of “The Little Red Hen”.
The afternoon session wanted to find out what it was like to make a dough so we measured out our ingredients with scoops and made our own Oat Dough.
The children loved the texture!
Vinnie noted, “It’s all sticky on my hands!”
Daniel shared his observations about the texture, “It was all wet but now everything has mixed together.”
