Polar Bears Class

Our students are very excited to share this terms learning with you!

We’re very much enjoying our DT unit around junk modelling, however, our resources are dwindling rather fast! Please can we ask for any donations of empty food boxes (cereal, etc), kitchen rolls, basically anything paper or plastic we can use to make exciting models with! 🐻‍❄️

What a fabulous afternoon we had yesterday. We worked on our gross motor and safety skills when using the gym and bikes. I don’t know about the Polar Bear children but the staff definitely slept well afterwards 🐻‍❄️

Another wonderful day together! Perfect weather for it too ☀️ Have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to hearing all about it on Monday 🐻‍❄️

Another wonderful day in the Polar Bear classroom today. We’ve been building, threading, painting, gardening, caring for ‘babies’, reading ‘The Colour Monster’ and even got ourselves changed and joined in with our PE lesson! Mrs C is very proud of us 👏🏻

What a perfect start to our year together. The Polar Bears were fantastic and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow 🐻‍❄️

The PBs were excited to see our new additions to the classroom on their first day back 🦋

Mrs Curtis took the Chrysalis home for safe keeping. She’s just transferred them from the pot to the ‘tent’ and one got a bit active 🐛 🦋 now the whole family are interested

The Polar Bears really enjoyed their Easter egg hunt this afternoon 🥚 🐣what a lovely end to a lovely term 🐻‍❄️

The Nativity is over 😨 but didn’t they do well? Thank you for all of your help, we couldn’t do it without your donations and support. I am so incredibly proud of all our wonderful children and the effort, time and perseverance they put into all performances 👏🐭🐔🐑🐐🕊️🕷️

I didn’t realise how excited I’d get reading the lovely comments and how many times our children are being read to in our new reading diaries. Reading for pleasure is such a wonderful thing to do together and provides our children with rich vocabulary, imagination and much more🫶🏻

What a lovely parents evening. Thank you to all that came and shared my evening. I love celebrating our little people with you and I’m looking forward to the second round tomorrow! Mrs C 🐻‍❄️

We’ve enjoyed finishing our self portraits following Picasso’s preferred genre of ‘Abstract’. I am so impressed with these pictures! I think Picasso himself would smile an abstract smile!

Yesterday we looked at work by Picasso and learnt about the term ‘abstract’. We then drew our own self portrait following the rules of abstract’ and went over the outline today with oil pastels ready to paint them with water colours!

We’ve been matching objects to their initial sounds again. Four more letters (graphemes) to add to our ever growing knowledge bank! I wonder who will spot these on their travels over the weekend?

The children have been enjoying making self portraits by copying Guiseppe Archimboldo’s practice of using fruit and vegetables 🥕 🥗

The children enjoyed matching objects to their initial sounds as part of our review lesson today. Mrs Curtis was impressed with how much we’re remembering!

Thank you to all who attended our welcome service yesterday. The Polar Bears were invited to stay and look around our beautiful church. We couldn’t believe the wonders that we found!

Much excitement in Polar Bears this morning with the appearance of our first maths books
