Living and Learning: I cope with change
Roundhay Park and Tropical World
F2 have had a fabulous day out at the park and Tropical World.
We did leaf collecting and rubbing, played in the play park, had circle games and songs, a picnic and parachute games. We then walked to Tropical World for our tour.
We finished off the day with goodie bags and ice- lollies!!!
Ask your child what their favourite part of the day has been.
What facts can they remember, about the different tropical species they have seen today?
Perfect Pizza!
Today, Foundation made some yummy and importantly healthy wrap pizzas, as part of Staying Healthy Week.
We discussed how our ingredients are good for our bodies, practised the hygiene routines that must take place before and after preparing food and had a go at safely chopping and grating. We then chose which healthy toppings to add to our pizza.
We enjoyed our delicious pizza creations at snack time. Many children tried vegetables they were not sure they liked, which was great to see.
Foundation gave their cooking a big thumbs up!
Can your child help you at home to recreate a wrap pizza or another healthy meal? Take a picture and let us know if they do!
Healthy Cooking
It’s health week, so we decided to cook and eat lots of vegetables. We made a delicious stir-fry with onions, beansprouts, peas, courgettes, cabbage and much more.
“It tasted gorgeous; I had sticky plum sauce with it.”
“I thought I didn’t like the sauce but when I tasted it, it tasted really nice.”
Next Week- Staying Healthy Week
Next week, Foundation will be taking part in
Staying Healthy Week
Activities will include:
Monday (AM)- Tutti Frutti Production.

Looking forward to a happy, healthy and active week ahead! 🙂
The day the classroom quit!
This fortnight, we have been reading The Day the Crayons Quit.
In this story, Duncan comes into the classroom and discovers his crayons have quit for various reasons. Red Crayon is tired of colouring strawberries, Santas and fire engines; Orange Crayon and Yellow Crayon are fighting over who is the true colour of the sun; Blue Crayon is used too much so it short and stubby and Grey Crayon is fed up of colour such big animals like Hippos and Whales.
This week, we have written our own stories pretending to be different items from the classroom that quit. The children came up with some really imaginative ideas as to why each item might quit. Here is a few examples of our letters to Duncan.
Living and Learning: I tell the truth and say sorry if I need to.
Year 5 taster day
On Friday, Year 5 went to Wetherby High School for a taster day, to experience what it’s like to be in secondary school. They cooked, made key-rings, played basketball and much more.
Role-play- I can show, what I know!
Our new role play area is up and running this week and wow do we have some enthusiastic little travel agents, tourists, customers and ice-cream sellers!
The children have been working together, using their prior experiences to create scenarios in the ‘Travel Agents’ and ‘Ice-cream parlour’. They have shown great communication, sharing their ideas and listening to the ideas of others.
The ‘Travel Agents’ features real-life holiday pictures of the children to inspire their role-play and the wonderful writing that F2 have worked so hard on this week.
Come and take a look at their postcards, or browse their travel brochure. Anyone fancy visit to “Unicorn Land”, “Starry Seaside”, or “Magic Town” this Summer? 🙂
Fabulous Library Visit!
Yesterday afternoon, Year 1 and 2 visited Wetherby Library. Have a look at some of the comments the children made and the pictures of them using the library. They were much more confident in how to use the library this time and more focussed on choosing books that suited/interested them.
Ellie – The library trip was great. I got one of my favourite books called ‘I’ll never let you go’.
Lilly – It was fun walking down the library and getting a Harry Hill’s book.
Jack – I like going to the library because I saw a book that I liked about Kart Racing and Mr Wicks liked it too
Harley – It was really fun and I picked a book about fires, police and bees.
Joe – I like going to the library because there are so many books that I would like to get from there.
Daisy-Mae – I liked going to the library because I found some Beast Quest books and I got to get a Molly Broomstick book. I saw a book about a clown but there were no words in it so I think it would be a good book to make up my own words for the story.
