 Day 10

Today started with some reading and Doodle Maths on the iPads. Then it was time to play some badminton and tennis to get our hearts pumping.

We wanted to say a big thank you to all the key workers and to show our appreciation we decorated the letters that spell out “Thank you key workers” and will laminate them ready to display outside school.

We then had a snack whilst watching the live zoo link and learning lots of facts about the animals. After this we went outside, played football and even had some piano lessons from Mrs Bashford.

Then we tended to the allotment: watering the plants, weeding and adding to the den.

Time for some decorating! We had a selection of icing sugar and some biscuits and decorated them to make them wonderful and colourful. We thoroughly enjoyed this activity especially having a little nibble afterwards.

After lunch, we headed to the field to play with the OPAL resources – building the slide, playing in the barrels and creating our own lifeguard tower. We then came inside to finish off the lettering for our Thank you display.

We wonder what adventures next week will bring!

Day 9

Today started with some Doodle Maths on the ipads. Some of the children then went onto spelling games and became a whizz at spelling some common exception words! After we had all settled in we got our hearts pumping with some go noodle and we thoroughly enjoyed making patterns in Banana, Banana Meatball. Everyone took part, even the adults!

We then sat down and thought about some quotes that we could paint and display in our windows. We came up with:

• Stay safe
• Smile J
• Be happy
• Be kind
• Wash your hands
• Everything will be alright
• Stay home
• We’ve got this
• Be positive.

We then had a snack and relaxed before going outside to play with the footballs and hula hoops. We then went into the allotment and went off to do different things. Some of us continued building the incredible twig den, some of us tidied and some of us went round the plants with a watering can, making sure they had enough water to grow.

After lots of time outside we came back in to eat lunch together and watched the Snail and the Whale and the Gruffalo. Whilst we waited for everyone to finish their lunch, some of us learnt how to make paper aeroplanes and raced against each other. Once we’d eaten our lunches and gained some energy we went back outside to the allotment to create some bug traps. Mrs Preedy told us all about them and helped us to dig out a space in the ground for the trap. When we were digging we came across a millipede! We then filled it with some mulch to attract the bugs and even found the perfect bit of stone to cover the trap to ensure that any bugs or animals have shelter should it rain!  

Towards the end of the day we played tennis with each other and made some wonderful art creations with chalk and tape.

We wonder what adventures tomorrow will bring!

Day 8

We started the morning off with a little bit of colouring while waiting for all our friends to arrive. Then we decided to get active! For a change, we did a cosmic yoga disco. It was definitely different!

We then had a quick snack, and went outside. Mrs Newnham brought some branches so we all helped her unload the car, and then started building our dens! We spent the rest of the morning in the allotment having a wonderful time. We planted carrots and peas, found lots of weeds to pull and tidied up the flower beds.

In the afternoon we spent some time playing on the field. We created some lovely assault courses, which we all had great fun using. The we came back inside to decorate Easter eggs! We used pegs and pom-poms to create splodges and patterns over our eggs.
