Spring term
We have been super busy this half term, having so much fun and experiencing lots of new things! In maths, we have been working hard to order the days of the week as well as recap our learning on addition and subtraction. In art, we’ve been experimenting with plasticine and creating different objects and symbols with it. It is wonderful to see all the children’s imaginations as they pick the brightest colours and talk all about their masterpiece(s). In humanities we have come to the end of our Egyptian learning and been thinking about what objects we would take with us to the afterlife – all we can say is that some of us love our iPads quite a bit …
Forest school has been a massive highlight of our week and we've all enjoyed being out in the open, enjoying the fresh air and being able to roam around.
We have ended our week on a high, taking a gorgeous summer walk down to the café and ordering ourselves some yummy treats. We are now remembering to use our manners when we have our order taken and wait patiently for them to arrive.
All of the ladybirds team are SUPER proud of you guys – keep up the amazing work over half term and we will see you soon 😊

Week commencing 30th September
As always, the Ladybirds have had a very busy couple of weeks, but we have had so much fun. We have been matching objects to pictures in maths and sorting natural objects and buttons into categories, e.g. using their colour, size and what type they are. The children enjoyed cutting a range of sandwich toppings using the correct knife in food technology. We also had a go at cutting carrots and cucumbers too. They were fantastic at using their teamwork skills in P.E and we just love making our friends smile. We had fun digging for fossils and we could not believe a dinosaur came into our classroom. Ladybirds did a great job at tidying the footprints up!
Every week, we absolutely love our trip to the cafe. All of us are improving asking what we would like to eat and drink and using our manners. We then pay for what we have brought.
Such a brilliant couple of weeks for us...keep up the good work Ladybirds!!

Week commencing 16th September
We have had a great couple of weeks, looking at shapes, shape and colour patterns. We listened to different sounds on the iPad and said if we liked it or not. We also had a go at using the mouse on the laptops to see if we could start a game. We loved looking at the photos of our loved ones and saying why they are special. The children enjoyed looking at Jewish objects and the boys had fun wearing the Kippahs. The children were really good at recognising what animals are reptiles and we made salt dough dinosaurs. The children enjoyed cutting bread and spreading butter and jam onto the bread.
Keep up the good work Ladybirds!!

Week commencing 3rd September
What a fantastic start to Bracken Hill for our newbies!! We have had two brilliant weeks and the children have settled in brilliantly and the other children have been very welcoming too!!
We have been looking at what the children can do and have been ordering numbers. We've had fun at playtime; the Ladybirds have especially loved climbing on the Top Yard. The children have enjoyed taking part in P.E in the big hall. Our topic this half term is 'Jump into the Jurassic' and we have loved looking at different dinosaurs; we even took our dinosaurs on an adventure outside! A key skill that we need is to share and turn take with our friends so we have been playing Uno and dominoes, which some of the children were really good at. Something we really loved doing this week was looking at pictures of people who are special to us...we could all choose someone that is special in our lives! During Food Technology, all of the children could choose the correct equipment to spread butter with and some even enjoyed eating what they'd made.
Such a brilliant two weeks guys...we're all really proud of you all.
