Ladybird class loved their recent visit to Wythenshawe Park farm! We used lots of fantastic language to describe what we could see and hear. Bowe could hear the pigs and cows being “really loud” and Leyland and Leo told us about the “brown and white cows” and “dirty pink pigs”. 

Ladybird class enjoyed their Christmas party this week. Yummy treats, dancing, singing and lots of laughing. Merry Christmas everyone & Happy New Year. 

Ladybird class have really embraced our cooking sessions this term. We have learnt how to keep ourselves safe and others. We even really enjoyed washing up all our mess we were very helpful working as a team; we then sat and enjoyed our yummy creations together. 🍪🥘🍰🫧

Ladybird class had an amazing experience to go and see Shaun the Sheep’s Circus Show. This show was full of humour, dance, acrobats and circus skills.  All of the children laughed, clapped and danced along. It was lovely to see the children all engaged. This show is still available to watch at the Aviva Studios. 

Ladybird class have really enjoyed swimming this half term and have really grown in confidence. We have also been practicing our life skills and independently getting ourselves undressed. 🐞🐟🏊‍♀️

In Science this term we have been focusing on light and dark. We set our classroom up nice and cosy with blankets, lights off and used a light projector to make a calming atmosphere. The children all then used their torches to read and share stories with each other. This was a brilliant way to end our afternoon.

During P.E Ladybirds have been practising our throwing skills by Knocking objects over and throwing the ball into the net/hoops 

Great throwing skills Ladybirds!!

During our Communication session this week in Ladybird class, we cut our own apples in half and pressed them into orange paint to create pumpkins. Each child requested what they would like on their picture and what tools they needed to do this. They looked amazing!! 

It’s the end of the term for ladybird class. We had a Halloween party at the end of our day. Lots of yummy treats, party dances and disco lights. ​

During our history sessions we have been looking at how we have changed from being a baby to now. 

We have been looking at what we need to care for a baby and said that they need food and clothes and baby toys and that they need a bath. Ladybirds were able to look after our baby  by bathing feeding and dressing our baby

✍️ Ladybirds Working Hard!

This week in our writing session, Ladybirds worked so hard tracing shapes and even writing their names independently! 🐞

We’re so proud of their focus, determination, and progress — fantastic effort from everyone!

Well done, Ladybirds! 👏📝

🎨 Creative Fun with Rachel the Artist!

Ladybirds had an amazing art session with Rachel this week! The children got hands-on with clay, making their very own gingerbread men, and then used their artistic skills to draw faces and print them onto paper.

It was a fantastic session full of creativity, focus, and fun!

Well done, Ladybirds — great work! 👏🍪🖌️
