Nursery have used the artwork of Sandra Silberzwieg as inspiration for painting pictures of faces on to foil. We even used cotton buds for extra fine motor challenge. Look at the concentration and engagement. Well done Nursery!

On Friday we joined in with well-being day. We explored calming yoga, relaxing colouring and checked in with all our friends to see how they are. We ate a healthy snack and had some water to keep our bodies as healthy as our minds. 🍎

Guess how much I love you? As part of our #wellbeing day we have read 'Guess how much I love you?'. We talked about the different people who are special to us. youtube.com/watch?v=LPLwMx…

Today it is #wellbeing day at Hunslet Moor. In Nursery we have been talking about our feelings, and looking at ways to be kind. Here are a couple of videos that we have looked at today... youtube.com/watch?v=BNNcpA… youtube.com/watch?v=rwG8su…

This week we have been exploring Chinese New Year. The children have been exploring mark making as we create Chinese symbols representing our alphabet. We created Chinese drums and listened to celebratory Chinese music whilst exploring the different sounds we could make.

It’s World Nursery Rhyme Week! We have been practising counting rhymes today. Research says that children who know and can recite lots or nursery rhymes go on to do well with their reading and writing. Why not practise some rhymes at home.

Year 2 are having a fantastic time in our hook lesson for writing. We are learning about the book ‘Mirror’ by Jeanie Baker. The book is about Morocco so we have had a Moroccan afternoon, learning about the culture.

A friend has joined us in Nursery to prepare for Friday #ChildrenInNeed

This half term we are learning about festivals and celebrations. CBeebies has got some great videos that explain different festivals and customs in a child friendly way. bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows…
