Mrs Barker EYFS 2020-2021

A message to my class …

I’ve loved being your teacher

And watching all of you grow

It’s sad the year is over

And it’s time for you to go

Before you do I’d like to say

I’ve had so much fun every single day

You’ve worked so hard and shown you’ve cared

…

It is so sad that we couldn't spend our last week of school all together but I am so proud that my class continued to learn at home.

We have been taking a trip down Reception Memory Lane, recreating and talking about some of our favourite activities that we enjoyed during our time in…

Today was whole school Environmental Day and although school was closed that did not stop super learning from taking place.

I was so proud of my little superstars who were busy at home creating under the sea creatures from junk modelling materials and finding ways of re-using plastic bottles. …

We love learning outside!!!!

This afternoon we have been measuring, designing and building obstacle courses, completing Lego challenges, demonstrating our cartwheels and a little bit of chilling out on the dream bus.

This week we have been very excited about the different types of weather that we have been having, especially the thunder storms.

We used lots of descriptive words to describe what we could see and hear and how it made us feel.

Windy, stormy, rumbles, dark clouds, flashes, bangs, loud,…

Lego Challenge

This week we have had a challenge to create sea creatures using the small construction.

First, we needed to make an ocean scene for the sea creatures to live in.  We used one of the large fruit boxes and covered it with different blue papers.  We used yellow paint to…

Starfish Rescue Mission

Our Maths Table challenge was a very important mission.  The naughty shark had locked the poor starfish up with padlocks.  It was our job to solve the maths questions and find the right key to unlock the padlocks.

We are getting good at recalling some Maths facts and we used the 10 frames and counters to help us work out the answers that we didn’t already know.

A Puppet Show at the Seaside

This afternoon we were very lucky because we got to watch a puppet show. The story was about a little hedgehog that had got lost and a shark was helping him find his way home. The curtains were closed and we were very excited. A lady came round to tell us all to be quiet as the show was starting. We took our seats, the curtains opened and we enjoyed the show.

During the interval we bought ice-creams from the ice-cream parlour.  Oh we do like to be beside the seaside.

Today we read the story Sally and the Limpet.  After the story we explored this fascinating little sea creature.  We found out that Limpets are small sea snails with a cone shaped shell.  They have a soft body which they use to  stick themselves to rocks.  This stops them from being washed away by…

Transient Art using unusual bits of anything and everything is one of my favourite activities to observe the children engaged in. 

Here's why ......... Just look at these fabulous pieces of Art made from my dear Grandma's collection of necklaces and bangles.

The children looked carefully…

We are really excited to have a go at making our own Ice-cream tomorrow.

The ingredients and recipe are shown in the photograph.

All dietary and allergy needs will be adhered to during this activity.

Please remember to inform our office staff if your child has any allergies that we would…
