The classroom areas are key to aiding our learning and developing skills. Every week there will be new challenges to undertake linked to our weekly learning.

In our second week we got our first taste of school dinners, they were yummy! This meant that we could now start school full time.

Learning Garden

Well, hello. And welcome to this Planet. We call it Earth.

'These are the things I think you need to know.'
Oliver Jeffers' dedication of Here We Are

Our first topic we have used the story 'Here we are' by Oliver Jeffers, written to help us discover some important things that we need to know about our planet. We used this book to help us understand our local area, ourselves and discover what is important about us.

The first important issue we explored was staying safe, due to the current climate, so we looked at good hygiene and ensuring that we understood why we washed our hands. Mrs Wolfarth, pretended to 'sneeze' into her hand, and using paint, began to touch items in the classroom and high fived some children. She then asked us to shake hands or hold hand with others to see how easier it was for her 'paint' germs to transfer throughout the class. We then visited the toilets and Miss Sim and Mrs Wolfarth supported us washing our hands, to ensure all the 'paint' germs had been washed away.

From land, sky and sea to people, animals and time.

Staying within the school field, we identified the features of the local environment; road, shops, bus stop. We then ventured out again and collected items from the natural environment discussing that these were natural and important to keep the land clean and tidy.

Using the collected items we explored how using different media and materials can create interesting artwork.

We used google earth to help us understand that we are on planet Earth, zooming in on our school and key areas around Crosby; beach, village, Rimrose, park and Mrs Wolfarth even zoomed in on some of our houses!!! We invented a little alien friend and discussed with each other our favourite places we would visit with them on planet Earth, helping us to realise that we share favourite places.

Ourselves and our familes

People come in many shapes, sizes and colours.
We may all look different, act different and sound different...but don't be fooled, we are all people.

Happy Birthday
