Forest School

This week we celebrated Anti- Bullying week by wearing odd socks to celebrate being different. The boys also enjoyed eating their breakfast together.

During Phonics, the boys have been learning the sounds ‘b’, ‘j’ and ‘z’. They have been using their phonic knowledge to write words with these sounds and some boys have been challenging themselves to write simple sentences.

This week we have been looking at making 5.

Here are some games you can play at home:

Set up five skittles outside and ask knock them down by rolling a ball. How many have fallen over? How many are left standing?

Use 5 counters/cubes/objects, how many different ways can you split them into 2 groups?

Can you use a sentence to explain, e.g. “3 and 2 make 5”

This week, a lovely parent from RG did some Forest School activities with RY. She played games and also encouraged the boys to find dinosaurs in our woodland area. The boys later used natural resources such as mud, leaves and sticks to make their own dinosaur nests. RY class are particularly fond of digging in the mud!
