Robins have started their new topic ‘Will You Read Me A Story?’ And they are working hard on learning traditional fairytales. So far we have explored The Ginger Breadman and The Three Little Pigs. Robins’ have been busy making books, recreating gingerbreads and even made the pigs houses!
Art Week
This week Robins’ have been focusing on a painting called ‘The Battle of San Romano’ painted by Paolo Uccello. We had a big discussion on Monday about what we could see and what we would create. The children decided to focus their artwork on the knights in the picture and design castle for themselves as knights to live in. We also dressed up as knights using tin foil and made Miss Hall do it too!
Santa came to our Christmas Party!
Robins’ had so much fun at their Christmas party. We even had a special visit from…SANTA!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Robins’ have worked so hard this term and Miss Hall is super proud of them all! Enjoy the Christmas break and have lots of fun - just like we did on Christmas jumper day!
Christmas has arrived in Robins!
A naughty elf has arrived in Robin class to make sure Robins’ are working hard before Christmas. BUT… we have been working super hard. Robins’ have been writing letters to him, making cotton wool snowman and adding in Santa’s sleigh!
Home visits!
Thanks for all having me at your houses. I was very excited to see all the balloons outside the front doors and to see all the new Robins’ again.
Ice Lollies
Yesterday Robins’ made some delicious ice lollies to eat in the sun. We mixed water and juice then put them in the freezer to see what happened. Can you guess? THEY FROZE! We then ate them this afternoon… YUM YUM!
Designer Sunglasses
We made some cool and trendy sunglasses today. Robins explored the different types of sunglasses on offer and then designed/made their own high street fashion glasses. We then voted who’s were the best! Would you wear them?
Summer Sticks
Today Robins’ took advantage of the shinning sun and made some very brightly coloured ‘Summer Sticks’. They were very good at using their fine motor skills to wrap the wool around the stick. Our summer sticks are now hanging in the outdoor area so make sure you take a look!
We've started our new topic!
Robins’ have started their new topic ‘What can you see in summer?’. We got our feet out this afternoon and painted them to make a summery picture altogether. Robins’ especially enjoyed their toes getting mucky with paint… the cleaning up was not so good for Miss Hall!
Day 1 of Sports Week
Today all of the Robins’ got involved with new age curling and they were brilliant. They listened well, followed instructions and some even got 10 points.
Bug Ball
WOW! Robins’ had so much fun this week dressing up as bugs for ‘The Ugly Bug Ball’. They played party games, dressed up and even had a picnic with wiggly worms. Robins’ have worked super hard this half term on their ‘Minibeasts’ topic and really deserved a celebration. Well Done!
Butterfly Garden's
All week Robins’ have a been working hard to create their own butterfly garden’s. We have planned, made and discussed what we might put in them to attract butterflies. We learnt that flowers would be a good thing to put in them as butterflies drink nectar.
Minibeast Art
Today Robins’ created their own gigantic insects using paint. We enjoyed creating these outside in the sunshine along with the creepy crawlies around us! They looked bold and realistic once we had finished with them. Make sure you have a peep at them in our classroom.
Forest School
We had a fantastic time in the woods this week with Mrs Jesse. She let us build our own minibeasts using things from the forest. The bugs were even bigger than her!
Lulu Ladybird Writing
Today we read the story ‘Lulu Ladybird’ and drew a huge picture of her. Robins’ then added word around her to describe her appearance and personality. Believe it or not… Robins’ writing is getting better than Miss Hall’s and it is really starting to bug her!
Surprise Visitor
Today we had an unexpected visit from Mrs Moreton and her new puppy Zooki.
Minibeast Cafe
Today we set up a ‘Minibeast Cafe’ with crisps, ham, yoghurt, cheese and sweets. We were investigating which food was the tastiest for the bugs. Believe it or not sweets were the most popular food (not only for the bugs)! Robins’ decided this was because it was sugary.
The Bad Tempered Ladybird
Today we explored the story ‘The Bad Tempered Ladybird’. Robins’ found out that he was very grumpy and always wanted a fight! After we had read the story, we created our own story map on the carpet.
We made a WORMERY!
Who knew that Robins’ could make their very own wormery?
Today we collected mud, sand and leaves to make a layered wormery for the worms to live in for the next week. Robins’ then found some worms and added them into the bottle. Take a look…
We are now excited scientists to see what happens over the next few days.
