We believe in our children
Stanbridge Lower School is a registered charity (Number 1049285)
Pre-school have been learning about Hibernation this week. The children have coloured in pictures of sleeping animals and then using tissue paper have put their sleeping animals into hibernation for the winter.
This week Reception have explored “remembrance” through looking at pictures of poppy fields and interpreting them with loose parts.
This week the reception children have been learning about hedgehogs through the story ‘It was a cold, dark night’. They have made their own map linking to the story in the craft area and written a sentence about the story.
The children in year one have been learning about the Christmas story and Nativity in their RE lessons. They have made a character of choice from this religious story, by sculpting them from clay and then painting on the finer details.
Year 4 enjoyed a forest school session all about Diwali and Rangoli patterns. They started by investigating what Rangoli patterns are used for during the festival and what some of their features are, before foraging for different natural materials. Then they worked in small groups to create their own natural Rangoli patterns.
Reception have been exploring Diwali recently and painting their mushrooms.
Reception class went to Forest school today and after playing they enjoyed a hot chocolate made in our Kelly kettle!
This week the Pre-school children have been developing their fine motor skills. We have been counting legs on spiders and using pegs for their legs and we have been making spider webs too; where the children have been threading the web they’ve made and twisting paper to make a spider!
Year 4 have been learning about Anglo-Saxons this half term. Recently they investigated the different parts of an Anglo-Saxon village and what they were used for. They planned what their village would look like, making sure they included all the parts, before they went out and found some natural materials to use to create their own villages. Can you see the chief’s house, the water source and the livestock in their villages?
Pre-school have been learning about Autumn and they went on a lovely Autumn walk yesterday which they all enjoyed.
