Thanks

A great big thank you to Mrs A for the tomato plants. We all had great fun planting them and will hopefully be eating them soon!

The very hungry and long caterpillar

The caterpillar went on.... And on.......and on! All the way down to the play area and involved sorting and problem solving skills. 

Playtime fun - how many hula hoops???

Farnley visit

Fewston class had great fun with building twig towers. 

Farnley Hall morning

The whole school had a great time at Farnley Hall this morning. 

Fewston class searched for different types of leaves and mini beasts while Lindley class measured leaves and found percentages of different  types of leaves. Lindley class then wrote amazing shape poems using similes, metaphors and personification. What a great morning!

Painting clay flowers

Lindley class painted their beautiful clay flowers this afternoon. We used colour mixing techniques to gradually change the colour of each petal.

Guided reading

Blue group have been searching for consonant digraphs in their guided reading session. 

Mud fun!

We have just taken delivery of our mud kitchen. Who's for a mud pie? 

The week in pictures.

What a busy week we have had! Making our own Van Gogh pictures of sunflowers. These will soon be exhibited in the school hall for all to see. 

Today the EYFS have been making lists of what the hungry caterpillar ate to turn into a butterfly. They were all really excited to look in his picnic basket and wrote some wonderful lists as well as drawing pictures of from the story and playing beanbag buckets. A great time was had by all! 

Throughout the week the children have continued to plant and monitor seeds and seedlings in the outdoor area. 

They have also enjoyed using the hammers and nails to develop their hand and eye co ordination and concentration as well as their physical skills. 

  

They all looked like busy little elves! Just needed the hats! 

Runner bean wigwam

Lindley class have been busy this afternoon creating a runner bean wigwam. We can't wait to see them grow and grow and GROW!!

Beans

We are discovering about plants and bugs. We are waiting for our beans to grow. We are wanting to see how they grow. In this picture we have our seeds in a see through pot so we can see the roots. By the children in fewston. 

Planting.

Lindley class have been inspired by Van Gogh's Sunflowers

Trip to Harlow Carr

Lindley class had a great time at Harlow Carr today, despite the wind and rain! We discovered lots about plant fertilisation and had fun exploring the gardens.
