Month: March 2023

Grayling loved their special hot cross bun treat this week. They independently spread the butter and jam and of course ate it all up! Fabulous instruction writing too! In assembly we talked about the Easter story and the children learnt about why we have a cross on the buns. They also learnt about why we have eggs…. we hope they enjoy their little chocolate and bubble gift!

We said a sad goodbye to Miss Stermi and Nohan today but wish them all the best for their future adventures in New Zealand and Australia!

Please see home learning sheets in bookbags (no reading books) and some lovely Easter bunny cards 🙂

Have a lovely Easter break everyone!

Grayling Foundation have had a busy week with 2 different visitors! On Tuesday, Amanda from Samurai Kickboxing joined us in our PE lessons to teach us some moves and listening skills through games. Today, Steve the Spaceman joined us for an assembly where he shown us a real space suit, lots of photos and a model rocket!

During our maths learning this week, we have explored measuring lengths. We have used rulers, paperclips, feet and cubes to find out how long or short items are. We also discovered the tallest and shortest child and adult in our class!

Grayling have thought lots about how to look after our planet. We have recorded each day how we travel to school and are trying to walk, scoot or cycle instead of using the car. (parking a little further away and then walking is great too!) We also turned off all the lights, computers, ipads and interactive whiteboards on Wednesday for Power Down Day. Grayling took this very seriously!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Wow! What fantastic potatos Grayling Foundation brought to school today! Well done to all of you for being so creative and sharing some of your favourite stories with us.

Today we have enjoyed listening to lots of stories and drawing our favourite characters.

We also played some team games in PE and talked about the importance of congratulating the winners and cheering everyone on.

Our learning this week has included AB and ABC patterns in maths. An AB pattern has 2 different colours, shapes, pictures etc that repeat and an ABC has three!

In PE we have been learning different ways to pass a ball to eachother like rolling, throwing and bouncing. We love getting competitive in the team game at the end!

Space learning has continued by creating alien playdough, junk model walkie talkies, writing space facts and lots more!

We finished today with some tapping/clapping along to music and finding out how many syllables are in our names 🙂

Happy weekend everyone!
