Kingfishers Gymnastic Skills
Linking with the topic on robots this term, in P.E the children are developing their gymnastics skills. This week they have been balancing, travelling, mirroring and matching.
Investigating Materials and their Properties
Kingfishers have been busy exploring a collection of properties by applying different forces and then recording their results. Our next step is to find out how these properties make materials suited to different uses.
Making Silly Putty
As part of their work on exploring the properties of materials and forces, Kingfishers made silly putty. Throughout the activity, the properties of their mixture changed and they were challenged to think of words to describe the properties. With their successful putty, they explored which forces they needed to apply to change the shape.
It was great fun, if a little messy!!
If you want to have a go at home, you need 60ml of washing up liquid and 45g of cornflour.
Fledglings Winter
The children have been learning about Winter animals and their habitats, by discussing where they live, what they eat and exploring ice with their senses. The children have listened to the ice cracking and discovered how ice is formed. The children also learnt that salt makes ice melt quicker, and when the ice is melting, it goes see-through!Â
We have enjoyed taking part in some observational painting, creating some wonderful penguins and polar bears!Â
We have all been enjoying the fresh Winter sunshine whilst practising our hand-eye coordination, by throwing balls into our new net! It has been a wonderful opportunity for the children to take turns and share the balls.Â
Kingfishers Music Autumn 2021
This term the Kingfishers have been learning about pitch, rhythm and dynamics in music. They have explored tuned instruments and have been improvising with creating different rhythms.
Herons RE
We celebrated Harvest with the whole school walking to the local church to give thanks, sing songs and say prayers. Rev. Darleen also led our Christingle service at school . We rounded off the term with a performance of “Lights Camel Action” to tell the nativity story through songs and dance and remind ourselves and parents of the true meaning of Christmas.
Herons Love to Read
Herons love to read – making a swing or den in forest school makes a quiet place to enjoy a book.
