Month: January 2024

Library books need to be back in school on a Monday ready to be changed on Tuesday morning first thing. Last week we only had 8 children return their library books. Please check in reading diaries this weekend and see if I have written the name of your child’s last library books. We would be very grateful if you could have a search around and return them next week and see if we can have a few more back. Many Thanks, Mrs Keys

We have had some lovely pieces of home learning coming in! Keep them coming in it is great to see what you have done.

This young lady has a great time visiting Lyme Regis and finding out all about fossils and Mary Anning!

A super fish collage!

Some great seaside puppets!

The children were SO excited to meet Oly Rush on Friday. Oly was so inspirational and told the children all about how he raises awareness of plastic pollution. He is also in the Guiness Book of Records for his swimming achievements! Oly organises a number of local beach cleans and the next one is on Sunday 28th of January at Ringstead Bay. It starts at 12pm – many of the children in Grayling 1 are keen to take part! Find out more about Oly and all his incredible achievements here…

What a great first Welly Walk! Well done Grayling you were all brilliant!

Today the children learnt about carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. They had great fun looking closely at some poo (fake of course!) and trying to work out what kind of animal it might have come from. Observing is one of our Working Scientifically objectives and they were super good at it!

We watched this video to help us with our learning…

In Geography this term we are learning about the continents and oceans. We had fun looking at atlases this morning! The children are so good at naming the 7 continents – I think this song has really helped.

In Science this term we are learning all about the animal kingdom. this week we visited the bird hide and spotted lots of different birds: blackbirds, pigeons, robins and crows!
