Tar Beach 📖

This week, the Leopards were intruded to their new book ‘Tar Beach’. We were exploring a range of adjectives to infer emotions of different characters. 

The children’s task was to create a freeze frame of the scene that we had been exploring. As the children were frozen, Miss Lingard tapped each character on the shoulder one at a time bringing them to life and expressing how they were feeling.

Last Forest schools of the year

Image
 To finish the year, the children made bow and arrows, boats, dens, whittled sticks for part of their role play and made swings . I loved this session- the children came up with wonderful ideas, thinking about all the things they'd done over the year.  Thank you all for making our Forest schools sessions so special, I can't wait for next year with you all!

Marvellous music making, mystery solving and more!

Hi Leopards, It was great to chat to some of you yesterday and find out what you have been up to. As usual, the lovely leopards have lots to tell me!  Marvellous music making  h as earned Estella the Blue Peter Music badge. Here she is, looking very happy with her achievement. Rightly so, this is well-deserved, Estella .    The Blue Peter Music badge is especially for Blue Peter viewers with a passion for music. I wonder if this Blue Peter badge will inspire more of you to get your recorder/saxophone/violin out to work on your musical skills. It's a really lovely design too. Did you know that with the badge, Estella also received a Blue Peter Badge card to gain FREE access to over 200 Blue Peter Badge Attractions throughout the UK! Keep that card in a safe place Estella. Using maths, reading and problem solving, Leah has been solving mysteries playing her new favourite game, Cluedo. It's one of our family favourites too, Leah. We do love a game of Cluedo! We even dressed

Friday 1st May

Good Morning Leopards, I had a very busy day yesterday as it was my daughter's birthday. This lockdown makes every day seem the same, so we tried to make it as special as we could for her. Although she was missing her friends, she still had a lovely day. We went bowling (on the Wii), had a slap up meal in a posh burger restaurant (our kitchen) and had a cinema experience (film and popcorn). Life is a bit tricky at the moment, but we can still make some special memories. Here's a picture of her cake - it was yummy! Let me know of any good memories you are making during this lockdown.  Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you later. Mrs Williams
