Zero the hero

This week we have been looking at recognising and representing zero alongside subitising numbers up to 5. The children have been working in groups, partners and independently to identify zero and not zero.

Here is a link to a song we have been singing during our maths lessons:

Ice

Today, the children noticed that there was a branch frozen in one of our tuff spots that had filled with water. They were amazed by the ice on the branches and how smooth the ice felt. We thought about how to melt the ice. Some children thought they could smash it to melt it so they experimented with this. Others held it in their hands noticing how the ice turned into water. Some of the children left some toys in a bowl of water to see if it would freeze overnight. It was wonderful to see the children exploring, investigating and using their wider vocabulary in their play.

First week back

Happy New Year!

We hope that you have enjoyed a restful and wonderful Christmas and wish you all a fantastic 2024!

There will be no PE or Forest School in the first week so the children will need to come to school in their school uniform.

The week beginning 15th January, will be our first week back to Forest School and PE.

Base one will have Forest School.

Base two will have PE.

For both PE and Forest School, please can children come to school in their school PE kit and not their own clothes. The only additional things they will need to bring for Forest school would be wellies and waterproof clothing. We are seeing a lot of children coming into school in their own clothes on Wednesday and this should be school PE kit.

Forest school Maps

In Forest School, we have been making maps using the natural environment. We collected natural objects from Forest School and brought them back to the classroom to help us.

Christmas diary dates!

It’s Chriiissstttmmmmaaaaas!

We are getting very busy so here is a reminder of our diary dates for December.

Christmas diary dates

All of these are happening within normal school time.

For the Christmas party, all we ask is that you bring in a plate of food for your own child. The children will have had their normal lunch as well so this does not need to be huge!

As the Santa Dash and Christmas Forest school is on the same day, please send your child in their forest schools kit, but also remember to pack a pair of trainers!

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask a member of staff on the door. Thank you in advance for your support in helping us to make Christmas magical for the children in their first year at Apley.
