Cross Country Festival - KS2

Yesterday afternoon we had the tiring event of cross country. Yet we are struggling to understand the crossing the country bit! We held 4 races: year 3&4 boys, 3&4 girls, 5&6 boys, 5&6 girls. We’re still surprised that a lot of our pupils still have their voices! Oh boy how they screamed! Our school (being really kind!) invited a number of schools to participate (We can’t remember all the schools names! Sorry!)Yet we still had a great time and are very proud of our one first place. Although a lot of people where upset about their place in the race, we tell them it is just a number (A very big ‘un!) and it’s just for fun and have a bit of a laugh!

Foundation Stage's Outdoor Area - Day 2 Building Blocks

Recently, our children of foundation stage have experienced a change of their playground, Evie told our group that she thought the floor was moving as they (the builders) started building their new equipment.
Some of the foundation stage pupils had drawn pictures, of the diggers and other heavy lifting things!
After we saw the children’s pictures, we took a quick look outside…it looked like a new playground! So we took more photos!
That’s all for now, but keep checking our blog for more info about our school! :-)  
Here are a few examples of some of our pictures of diggers, followed by some of the changes that the builders have already made.

Foundation Stage's Outdoor Area - Day 1 Inspired to Write

I don't know what you would want to do if there were a team of workmen with diggers, pneumatic drills and power tools outside your classroom? In Foundation Stage we have been inspired to write. We have been writing about what we can see and what we would like these fantastic builders to add to our outdoor classroom.

Here are a few examples of what we have been writing. Enjoy!













Foundation Stage's Outdoor Area - Day 1 Setting Up




Today we are very excited to see the start of our new outdoor area being made.  The builders have been talking to us about what they are doing and how we can stay safe.

The picture above is our foundation stage this morning before we all arrived.  Over the next days and weeks we are going to share with you all the exciting new things that are being added to help us learn.

The pictures and video(coming soon!) below are some of the things that have happened in the first 30 minutes.  Wow! They are quick!
