  • Darling Class Stay and Read

    Published 14/03/23

    We have spent a wonderful afternoon taking part in activities around the traditional tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk', with our grown-ups.

    We got our funky fingers moving, shelling peas and then using tweezers to put the correct amount in each cup case...

     

    We retold the story of Jack and the Beanstalk with our grown-ups, using story props...

    We had fun creating masks for the characters in the story...

     

    We shared the alternative version of the story that we had written...

     We made towers and ladders as tall as the beanstalk...

    We took on the challenge to construct a safety harness to stop the egg from cracking as it rolled down the drainpipe...

     

     

    We reused newspaper to make plant pots and planted seeds to take home...

     

    We sequenced words to make sentences and checked that they made sense before writing them ...

     

    We took our grown-up to the shoe shop...

     

    And of course we shared some stories...

    Thank you so much for coming.

  • 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
