The children have really made the most of using the area at lunchtimes this week. There has been lots of good team work and problem solving whilst den building and lots of patience shown when waiting for a turn on the rope swing.
During a Forest School session the Year 5 children toasted marshmallows. They learned lots of fire safety information and were very respectful of the fire. The children really enjoyed the marshmallows and they found it relaxing to be able to sing songs around the fire.
This week at St. Clement’s Stay and Play the children enjoyed a range of play activities. We are now able to see the children’s confidence growing and to observe them interacting positively with each other is wonderful. Mr Burton’s number and letter trail was a big hit and the children had great fun following the trails on their trikes.
St. Clement’s Stay and Play runs every Wednesday, 9am-10am, in the school hall. See Miss Akers for more details.
This week Reception have been reading the story Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have enjoyed acting out the story, retelling it and sequencing events. We also received a letter telling us that Jack is missing! The children created missing posters to help find Jack. Later in the week we found out that Jack was on holiday! He had send us a postcard and we wrote him one back.
Year 1 have worked extremely hard with their phonics and reading. They completed their phonics check this week. We had a little surprise to treat the children for their hard work and perseverance.
Well done Year 1!
During health week, Year 4 focused on the abstract artwork. We discussed the different shapes and patterns we could use in the background and the range of colours we could use to make it eye catching.
We talked about different sports and created silhouettes to represent them. Have a look at our artwork and see what different sports you can spot!
On Monday we went to Woodlands activity centre in Streetly. It was an action packed day full of adventure and thrills. The children were full of energy and raring to go. Activities included zip wire, canoeing, assault course and archery. The weather was kind and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was nice to see their confidence grow.
