Spring Term 2013

Our New Classroom

We, in year one, are delighted with the prospect of extending our school by opening a nursery. We have been busy with the build up, creating a beautiful new classroom. Everyone within KS1 has had a move around and year one have moved into the previous year two classroom.

  

We are extremely excited to welcome the nursery children to our school.

Here is what some children have said about the opening of the nursery:

Tom Price ‘It is really nice that we are going to have new people coming into the school.

Rebecca Hamilton ‘It will be fun to make new friends.’

 Lucy Bell ‘The nursery is making our school more beautiful.’

Weddings

Our topic for spring term 2 was ‘Weddings’ both year 1 and year 2 children were captivated and enthused by the hands on topic which was all about understanding, organising and planning a wedding for two children. From the start to finish all children took the topic extremely seriously.  All children took a leading role in the build up and planning of the wedding.

The two lucky children chosen to play the role of the bride and groom were Abbey from year One and Daniel from year two. 

 

Down at the Farm.

As part of creative curriculum, year’s 1&2 visited ‘Down at the Farm’ in Houghton Le Spring.

During our visit we met Farmer William and Caroline. We were able to see all the farm animals and the crops he grew. Farmer William also had some animals that you do not see on a British farm. For example we saw reindeer, prairie dogs, raccoons, alpacas and a python. We were able to feed the lambs and hold rabbits and guinea pigs. After lunch, which we had in the barn, we were able to play in the tunnels, in the activity area and on the giant bouncy pillow.

We had a fabulous day!
