This week in Silverdale we have been learning about construction 🏗️. We have enjoyed reading ‘Mighty Mighty Construction Site’, ‘Diggersaurs’ and listening to the ‘Dig, Dig, Digging’ rhyme.
The children have enjoyed dressing up as busy builders, creating houses and towers using different objects such as foam bricks, sponges and magnetic tiles.
We have spent most of our days outside in the glorious sunshine exploring our environment and enjoying lots of water play! ☀️

In Ribblesdale this week we have continued to read stories from Apple Tree Farm and have enjoyed looking at the story settings, the main characters and helping to sequence the main events within these stories. In maths we have been revisiting some of our previous learning and have focussed on accurately counting out given amounts from a larger group.
We loved having everyone together for our leavers event/ summer stay and play. It was lovely to share some of our wonderful memories from the past year together. 🎶 Our fantastic nursery leavers did us proud with their beautiful singing. 🎶

In Swaledale we have been reading stories about The Lighthouse Keeper. We started with the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We thought about different ways to scare the seagulls away from the picnic and used our cutlery skills to make our own sandwiches. We have also read the Lighthouse Keeper’s picnic and breakfast stories. We have talked about healthy eating and have written letters to Mr Grinling to encourage him to be healthier. In maths we have been looking at maps, we began by remembering the map of Red Riding Hood’s journey to her grandma’s house. Then we talked about our own journeys to school and the features we see on our walk/drive to school. We enjoyed our class trip to Raby Castle 🏰 We enjoyed exploring the castle with our fantastic tour guides, had a picnic in the yurt and spotted lots of deer relaxing in the shaded areas of the deer park 🦌

This week in Silverdale we have been learning about the countryside 🌳, forests, woodland animals and their habitats.
We have read ‘Countryside’ ‘Hide and Seek Forest’ and ‘Peter Gets Stuck’.
We have enjoyed creating with natural resources, making some lovely flowery perfume and some fantastic leafy names 🌿.
We have enjoyed spending lots of time outside, listening for the different birds and looking in the trees to see if we could see any nests! We particularly enjoyed singing in the rain 🌧️.

This week in Ribblesdale we have been reading the wonderful stories from Apple Tree Farm. We have enjoyed discussing the main characters in the stories and have been thinking about how the characters are feeling and why. We have also been using fantastic vocabulary to sequence the events in the stories and helped write a list of all the characters in these books. As part of our DT -creating with materials focus the children have made pig stys, stables for horses and farm building using a range of construction and used recycled materials to build their own tractors and/or farm buildings.
We have been consolidating our maths knowledge by revisiting the composition of numbers up to six.

In Swaledale this week we have been inventors!
We started the week looking at the amazing inventions of Rowland Emett, these amazing creations encouraged the children to come up with their very own inventions including a machine to get you out out bed, a robot that gets you dressed and a machine that feeds people who do not have any food. We have also read the books ‘Iggy Peck Architect’ and ‘Rosie Revere Engineer’. We started with drawing our inventions before going on to build them with recycled materials, loose parts, Lego, magnetic tiles and wooden blocks.
In maths we have been consolidating our number bonds to ten and combining numbers. We also enjoyed our transition day in Year 1!

Tomorrow is going to be a hot one, with temperatures expected to reach 29 degrees. ☀️

The children can come to school in their school PE kit to keep cool - white t-shirt and black shorts. There is no need to bring coats, jumpers, hoodies or cardigans; it’s going to be 21 degrees on the morning school run.

We will be providing lots of shade but please apply sunscreen before school and children can re-apply before lunchtime playtime.

Don’t forget to wear a hat and bring in a cold water bottle. There will be lots of opportunities to refill throughout the day.

We’ll ’do all the good we can’ to keep everyone safe in the sun. ☀️

This week in Silverdale we have focused on Summer, we have enjoyed reading ‘Summer’, ‘Look What I Found at the Seaside’ and ‘Summer is here’.
We have been busy creating with different materials, we have made; foam ice creams, fruity tea, colourful shells and some beautiful flower bouquets using wild flowers from our outside area. Whilst outside we have been listening out for different summer sounds like the buzzing bees and the birds singing.
The children have also enjoyed sharing their own Summer memories with their friends.

This week in Ribblesdale we have continued with our art focus learning. We have enjoyed several stories which have inspired us to create some wonderful pieces of art. We especially loved reading - The Day the Crayons Quit which inspired us to draw lots of different things that are a given colour in wax crayons and How to Catch a Rainbow which led us on to make our own beautiful rainbow pictures using a range of materials. We have been linking colours to our feelings and emotions and have loved reading the Colour Monster.
In Maths we have revisited our previous learning on numbers to 6. We have enjoyed counting and subitising to help us solve mathematical problems.

In Swaledale, we have continued our Literacy Tree text ‘And Tango makes three’. The children started the week writing letters to the zoo keeper to help find an egg for Roy and Silo the penguins. We have continued looking at the life cycle of butterflies, our caterpillars have turned into chrysalises! It Art we have been. In maths we have had great fun counting how many legs there were in Mr Gumpy’s boat. The children drew their own boats and different combinations of people/animals to make 8 legs.
