Christmas PE

Today we did Christmas themed PE.

We made up some games to play.

Mr Richards explained the rules.

We were reindeer catching the escaped reindeer.

Learning a Story

Acorn Class are rehearsing a story to tell at next week's church service.

They are getting really good.

Don't forget the church service next Friday 16th December at 2pm.

Goldilocks

Our play went really well yesterday, we were very proud of what we have achieved.

Here are some photos of our performance.

Art Day

We are producing art today ready for our Art Exhibition.

The Art Exhibition will be on Friday 2nd December from 2pm till 4pm.

Guinea Pigs

Using stealthy tactics we have footage of our shy guinea pigs. 

They have been named Rosie and Sparkles.

Remembrance Day

We stood still for two minute at 11am on the 11th of November.

It is important for us to remember the soldiers who fought and died for us.

We were very lucky to have some guest from the British Legion, Eric Vickers read the salutation, his colleague played the Last Post on the trumpet.

Oak Class teacher Mr Millin played the bagpipes, see oakclass99.blogspot.co.uk to hear it.

Pets at Home

On Friday we went to Pets at Home.

We went to find out about guinea pigs.

We met Ross, he told us how to keep the guinea pigs healthy

We learned how to hold guinea pigs.

It liked Tommy's coat.

We also looked at a chinchilla.

We looked at hamsters, they were soft.

Hopefully soon we'll get some guinea pigs.

Phonics lesson with parents

Our parents came to school today to find out how we  learn our phonics.

We made letter shapes in sand.

Writing on whiteboards is one way we learn our sounds.

"I'm doing numbers."

We trace over numbers to help us get them right.

My mum looks very interested, she is concentrating well!

Homework

We love sharing our homework with the rest of the class in our assemblies.

It makes us very proud, we feel special when we share our homework.

Sharing the family tree.

Showing the pictures to everyone.

Reading homework to the class.

Sorry we couldn't put everyone's on the blog.

Practical Maths

In class today we were designing a guinea pig run.

We cut and measured the things a guinea pig will need.

We worked really well together.

We shared our ideas for our guinea pig homes.

We really want some guinea pigs now!

PE Parachute Games

Today in PE we were playing parachute games.

Concentrating on what was under the parachute

We wrapped up Mr Richards

We think he liked it....we did!!

We made a flower shape

Learning in the classroom

We are practicing writing our spellings and names.

We have lots of fun too!

Sea life trip

Tuesday 12th July Acorn class visited the sea life centre in Great Yarmouth. 

 

The penguins are losing their feathers, this usually happens around this time. The Penguins will grow their feathers back and will have a new nice clean coat. 

 We got to touch a starfish. 

Amazing fact number 1: Starfish have 1000 legs. 

Amazing fact number 2: If a starfishes arm gets chopped off; 

1. It will grow back

2. A whole new starfish will grow from that arm

 

We saw some Ray fish! 

 

And a crocodile... 

 

We loved the colour of this jellyfish (it was just the coloured light shining on it, but it looked good). 

The ray fish came to say hello. 

 

The baby rays are so cute. 

 

We walked in a tunnel that was underwater. The Sharks and fish swam over top of us as we walked. 

 We could go behind the tank which made it look like we were in the tank with the fishes. 

We had such an amazing time at Sealife Great Yarmouth. We even got a certificate which includes a voucher to come back again for free!
