As an additional sports session, the children were invited to take part in a Torquay United rounders workshop where they were able to build up their throwing skills so that, by the end, they were able to take part in a rounders match with their peers. This was a very active session and one that…

We were ever so lucky today! The children had some very cute visitors in Primrose class... baby chicks! Every child had the opportunity to hold a baby chick and get up close to them. One was particularly noisy which was quite amusing! The children showed great bravery and had big smiles on their…

Today, we had a very special visitor called Rayson. He was born in Kenya and moved to the UK in 2001. Rayson gave us an insight into what is was like living in Kenya and their traditions. This included things like the climate, what they wear, what they eat etc. To truly give us an experience of…

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been busy working in terms to create our schools for the 3LPs. The children had to use all of their knowledge that they have learnt throughout our Big Question to create a school that was waterproof and could cope with the Big Bad Wolf's huff and puff! The…

When looking at properties of materials, it was clear that the children weren't so secure on their understanding of waterproof, absorbent, transparent and opaque. We decided to set up an experiment that would enable us to test and observe these properties of materials. Within this experiment, we…
