Pyjamarama Day in EYFS!

We’ve had so much fun during pyjamarama day in EYFS! We’ve had a teacher swap where some of the teachers from the rest of school came to read us a story which we loved! We’ve also had reading volunteers from KS2 come to read us stories which was so much fun! Finally, we’ve had our grown ups come to share stories with us at the end of the day in the sunshine ☀️

We’re on the move 🚗🚌🚀

There’s been lots of exciting activities happening in provision down in EYFS linked to our Summer expedition.

Box modelling has been popular this week with lots of us deciding to make buses, cars and spaceships! Carsen and Arya worked extremely well together to make a spaceship complete with rocket launchers and safety cables to keep the astronauts safe. Alyssa was very proud of her creation and loved the shiny metal details she had added to it. Max and Rose used their teamwork skills to decorate their vehicle making sure that they listened well to each other and talked through where to put everything. Anastasia and Harlow did a great job of adding extra features to their car and showed fantastic HOWLs by asking Lizzie if she wanted to help by adding features of her own. Great work Crew McGlone! ⭐️💕

An engineer in the making? 🏎️

Wade has been very busy making lots of different things in our construction area this week but his racing car blew me away! Wade explained that his car only had 2 wheels because it moved SO fast that if there were any more they would not all touch the ground at the same time. He also said that the car moved fast because it has a rocket on the top that blasts out fire and it shoots down the road! You never know, Wade might be a future racing car engineer! 🏎️

We are constructors! 👷🏼‍♀️👷🏻‍♂️

We have been extremely busy this week using our maths and problem solving skills to build towers, castles and even villages! At times, we have worked with lots of our friends to construct different things which means we have been using and building on our teamwork skills too! We’ve drawn roads, made car parks, built walls… there’s no limit to our imaginations!

Celebrating the coronation of King Charles III! 👑

We have enjoyed lots of fun activities linked to the coronation of King Charles. We started by making our own crowns, decorating them with lots of sparkly sequins, pom poms and glittery paper.

Then, we made our own crown shaped biscuits for us to eat at our special party on Friday. We made sure that we washed our hands properly before we mixed our ingredients together. We rolled our dough out and used the cutter to shape it into a crown before Mrs Rafter put them in the oven to bake. The following day, we used icing and sprinkles to decorate our biscuits ready to taste at our party! 🎉

On Friday, it was time to party! Aimee and the kitchen staff very kindly prepared party food for us and we all sat and enjoyed a picnic, before tucking into our delicious biscuits!

Once we had eaten and tidied away it was time to turn the music up and have a dance! 🕺💃
