Grayling 1

This half term the children are finding out about the five senses. Last week they learnt about hearing and had great fun using some string telephones.

Another reminder about this great event on thursday 7th March.

There is still time to enter this brilliant competition!

Today, is National Safer Internet Day. The children have spent time both in assembly and in class, discussing and learning about how to stay safe online. The main focus of our learning has been the importance of talking to a trusted grown-up if the children come across anything they don’t like or are unsure of online. We have also looked at our SMART rules for using digital devices and the internet and the different places we can go for help. Ask your child at home about what they can remember about our discussion and for any further information or guidance about staying safe online or Safer Internet Day please visit https://www.saferinternetday.org 

This week in Geography we have been learning about coastlines Tomorrow we will be labelling our models and they will be coming home to you! We are so lucky to live near the fabulous Jurassic Coast and many of the children talked about places they have visited.

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…
