Let’s Celebrate Holi

14th March 2023M Hanratty

EYFS are always eager to learn new information about the world, especially if it involves a celebration! Last week, we talked all about the Hindu festival Holi which is also called the “Festival of Colour”.

Traditionally, people throw coloured powder at each other however we decided to use a clever piece of technology called Sphero to help us spread colour. First, we squirted different coloured paint on a large white sheet. Then we made Sphero move by controlling a blue spot on the app.

We loved our final Holi masterpiece!

EYFS Number Ninjas

10th March 2023M Hanratty

EYFS have had a lovely time this week celebrating maths and number as part of World Maths Day.

In Nursery, we matched quantity to numerals, made our own rangoli patterns on the ipads and peg boards and took part in a numeral recognition competition.

Reception have been learning all about the number 6, counting dominoes and sorted numerals.

We also loved being Rockstars for the day!

On Thursday, we celebrated our love of reading by sharing books together with our friends. The children thoroughly enjoyed reading together and getting lost in the imaginative worlds.

We also shared the text “The Dot” across the whole school and completed a wide range of activities linked to dots and believing in ourselves. Each year group shared their work in Assembly.

Baby Bear Porridge 🥣 🐻

9th February 2023M Hanratty

The Nursery children were very concerned when they found out Goldilocks had eaten all of Baby Bear’s porridge so we jumped to the rescue. We counted out three spoonfuls of oats and poured in the milk, taking turns around the table. They did a great job of following instructions and loved being able to pick some yummy toppings to add to their own portion!
