Wow a lovely last week we've had in Ants. We have enjoyed lots of Easter related activities like Easter craft and baking. We hope you have a wonderful Easter break!

Happy Easter Everyone! 

Wow, what a fantastic few weeks we've had! The Ants had so much fun celebrating Pancake Day, tasting delicious pancakes with strawberries, orange and chocolate sauce for snack time. They loved it. 

For World Book Day, we explored 'The Tiger who came to tea' story. The children loved reading the story and getting hands on with our themed tough spot with orange rice! The children had a wonderful time dressing up and reading lots of other stories! 

With the sun shining, we took our Science lesson outdoors and went on a spring walk looking for the first signs of spring. When we returned back to the classroom, we explored some Daffodils pretending to plant them in soil and water them. 

Wow! What an amazing start to Spring 2! In English, we've started our new book 'Car Car, Truck Jeep' and have been having lots of fun listening to the story and exploring different vehicles. In PE, we've been practicing running in an open space. We used up lots of energy doing this. In DT, we have been learning how to mix. We had a great time preparing pancake batter, mixing eggs, flour and milk together. We have also enjoyed a visit to our cafe, we had ice Cream and biscuits. 

With the weather improving, we've loved spending time outside! We have loved exploring the sand and building sandcastles. 

Wow what a fantastic and busy week we've had in Ants Class!
The children have loved engaging in lots of fun Valentine's activities. They have enjoyed exploring the pink scented playdough and using the heart shaped cutters to make marks. We have loved baking cupcakes for Valentine's Day, the Ants did a super job at mixing all of the ingredients together and then using icing/sprinkles to decorate them. We even got to visit for Cafe for a snack. Great work everyone. 

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Half Term! 

We hope you have a wonderful week off! 

In Ants class, we've had an amazing week. To start the week, we engaged in our PE lesson where we developed our coordination through moving like animals, we 'crawled like bears and jumped like frogs'. The children loved doing this. In Science, we explored different everyday materials such as wood, cardboard, metal, plastic and fabric. It was so fun exploring the different materials and matching them to the correct symbol. In Everyday Technology, we loved exploring lights/torches. We practiced turning them 'on and off' and following instructions.

We took part in Sensory Circuits in the small hall, we loved burning off lots of energy. Some of the children developed their senses by exploring the moon sand which they loved. They enjoyed feeling the texture of it and using their hands to squeeze and squash it. To finish off our wonderful week, we visited our Cafe. The children sat beautifully and ordered their own snack and drinks- toast and juice were favourites. Well done Ants! 

What a fantastic start to 2025! Everyone is excited to be back at school. In PE, we've been developing our movement and body awareness by practicing throwing and catching beans bags. We also played a game of 'Follow the Leader' copying actions like jumping, stopping and clapping. It was lots of fun. In English, we've been exploring and learning about the wonderful story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We loved  reading the story and then we had a lovely time exploring/tasting the fruits from the story. Strawberries were definitely our favourite! We support, we also had a go at using a knife to chop some of the fruit. It's been a very exciting start to term. Amazing work Ants!
