As we continued to look for answers to our question ‘What lives in my garden?’ we have looked closely at a number of life cycles and were amazed about the work bees and other pollinators do and the way they are crucial in ensuring we have plenty of fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Michelle, a beekeeper, who told us loads of facts about bees. We looked at a real beehive, tried on a beekeepers suit and hat and made beeswax candles.

 

                                         

 In maths and Understanding of the world we have been creating maps, developing use of positional language and identifying key geographical features around and outside of our school.

 Then we visited the seaside town of Deal where we were able to see and talk about the differences and similarities between the two places.

 

                                 

 It was great fun creating family pictures using natural materials with our significant males in Families Week.

In PE we have been trying really hard to run in a straight line along our running track. We all have our own lane and have been practising running down it without crossing into each other’s- it’s really tricky but we are getting there! We also had a great time learning new skills during ‘We are the Champions’ week especially trampolining at Air Hop, skateboarding and ribbon dancing with Laura.

                                                     

We had a great sports day beginning with a family picnic too!

                                             

                                    

We have had such a fantastic year. The children have been amazing and need to be proud of all they have achieved over the last year! Good luck in your new adventures as you continue into Year 1!!!
