Today we went for a walk to the library. We were welcomed by Hannah who kindly read us a story and allowed us to use the school library card to borrow some exciting and interesting stories. We had a fabulous time. Many thanks to the volunteers that joined us on the walk.
Following our walk around Knighton, we have been looking at natural and man-made features in Knighton. We used 2d and 3d shapes to create our chosen feature.
We are very pleased to be supporting Knighton Food bank this year. Helen Anderson has been to visit Foundation Phase to explain to us how the food bank supports local people.
If you would like to donate any non-perishable food items, please see Sarah by 2nd December.
Thanks
As part of our work on Jack and the Beanstalk, we have been learning about plants. We have investigated the parts of a plant and discussed their functions.
Well done to all children who supported Children in Need. As a school we raised an amazing £131.65!
Children in the Foundation Phase enjoyed a range of activities linked to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Here are some of the measuring activities undertaken.
Measuring and recording footprints using non-standard units.
Collecting natural materials that are longer and shorter than the giant’s footprint.
Estimating and measuring the giant’s footprints in centimetres.
On Monday 25th November we held our first assembly in Advent. The assembly was delivered by Rev. Petra Beresford-Webb of St. Edward’s Church.
During the assembly we were reminded of why Advent is such a special season
.
Jack (the beanstalk) wanted us to find out about Knighton for him, as he is thinking about moving to Knighton in order to escape the giant.
We enjoyed walking around Knighton and identifying the human and physical features of the town.
Today, we have been inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Andy takes his inspiration from the world around him and uses natural materials for his pieces.
Here are some of our Andy Goldsworthy inspired pieces.
We collected and used natural materials to make a variety of 2D shapes.
