Our Learning:
We also enjoyed listening to the poet Neal Zetter and enjoyed joining in with lots of poems. We found it very funny when we said the poem very very slowly.
This week we went on a light and dark hunt around the school. We learnt about the best items of clothing to wear at night to make sure we are seen.
This week we had our first PE lessons and used our puddle suits to explore the mendips on the grass. Well done to all the children for their resilience when putting on their puddle suits.
Our First Week at Scotts
We were very excited to discover two eggs had been left in our outdoor area. A few days later we watched the cameras and found that a dinosaur had hatched and had made our classrooms very messy.
This week we had lots of fun going on a bear hunt.
Week 2
This week we have been working on building relationships, practising using a knife and fork and developing our core strength.
