Riddle

cxb — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:24:03 +0000

We have been writing riddles for a poetry competition. It has been fun thinking of things to describe someone.

Here is one from Adrei:

She is lovely like a garden

She writes like Samuel Pepys

She is pretty like a flower

She is kind like God

She is smiley like a dolphin

She swims like a fish

She is jumpy like a rabbit

She is my sister.

Year Two students had a wonderful time on a residential trip to Everdon. Everyone enjoyed themselves as they took part in shelter building in the woods, hunting for Billy the Bullhead in the stream and badger watching late at night. Nobody could miss the staff looking glamorous in their green waterproofs and wellies!

Off to the moon!!!!

We have been learning all about space. We’ve done lots of fun activities such as making our own rockets and pretending to fly to the moon. We even had a picnic on the moon. If you visit our orchard, there is a huge rocket which has landed there. We dress up in space suits and have used the workshop to make some control panels. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!!!!!!

Nearly the end of term already

Wow what a busy term so far – it has flown by. Eased by a bank holiday and being closed for the Election. The children have been really busy working on their books for book week and we enjoyed a sharing assembly this week.

We are really pleased the sun is now shining more as it means we can let the children use the large field we have for them to play on.

Only another week until the half term holiday ( hope the sun stays with us then). Then a really busy half term to follow with trips, special assemblies, transfer days, sports day and the summer fete.

Sunshine time?

Year 1 children and teachers have continued to enjoy our term’s theme of seaside throughout book week. The children have loved to make different types of books around the seaside topic and painted their own clay fish designs.

We are now looking forward to a visit from a Punch and Judy show and have been busy practising for sports day, making sure that our catching, jumping and throwing are of ‘Olympic standards’. Our end of year show, Jolly Holiday, has been introduced to the children and rehearsals are now underway.

We’ve had a busy start back to school this term. We have electrical work and windows replaced during the holiday so there was a lot of dust when we returned after the summer break.

The staff for Oakway Day Nursery have been in to introduce themselves to the staff and have been very busy receiving deliveries of toys and furniture as they settle in ready for their open day this Friday. It is very exciting to have a new team on site and we look forward to getting to know all the pre-school children in the year before they join our reception year.
