  • Thank You Families

    Published 08/02/23

    Darling Class would like to say a huge thank you to all the families for coming into school to share a special Dinosaur Date with the children.

    The children had been very excited writing their invitations and were so pleased to be able to share some of what we have been doing this term with you, including their song, fossils and dinosaurs junk modelling.

     

     

      

     

     

     

     

     

    Most of all they loved creating their dinosaur inspired snack and sharing a dinosaur story (or two, or three...!) with you.

  • Digging for Dinosaur Bones

    Published 31/01/23

    After hearing about Lucky, a local dog who had escaped and dug up a bone in our woods area, we were keen to become archaeologists and see if we could find bones of our own.

     

    And would you believe it...we found dinosaur bones!!!!

     

    The tricky part was putting the bones back together again!!

  • Dinosaur visits Darling

    Published 13/01/23

    We have had an extremely exciting week, which began with us finding mysterious (and very large) footprints on the floor in the classroom. Not only that, the tables were upturned, there were cauliflower leaves strewn everywhere and then, hiding under a table, was an egg and a note...

     

     

    After much animated discussion, it was decided that we needed to make a comfortable nest for the egg, so we set out to do just that...

     

    We wrote back to the dinosaur to let her know what we would do...

     

    Then we watched and waited...

    We checked to hear the heartbeat and took great care of it...

     

    Until one morning we arrived in school to find the egg was empty and a note from Dino, letting us know that the egg had hatched in the night and they had returned home.

    We were so happy that the dinosaur had hatched! We couldn't wait to build our time machine to visit the baby triceratops straight away...

     

     

    See you soon, we are off on a dinosaur adventure x

  • Busy, busy...

    Published 04/12/22

    Inspired by the scaffolding that has gone up around the school, the children have taken great delight in managing their own construction sites, including drawing up plans, negotiating a safe height for their buildings and using the hand tools.

    Inside we have been busy in the post office, writing cards, letters and messages, and of course delivering them...

     

     

    The Reception children have been exploring bods to five and beyond...

    And in Nursery we have been exploring all about the number 2...

    We are very much enjoying putting on performances; singing, dancing and even plays...

     

    We are using our phonics knowledge to read and sort 'real' and 'alien' words...

    and exploring properties of shapes...

    Finally, we have enjoyed our sensory play making hot chocolates...yummy!
