Squirrel class have been doing weekly SmARTy crew sessions with Rachel, where we explore different feelings and ways of expressing these emotions creatively. We really enjoyed making our excited hats, wands and pictures. The excited tent was very popular!
Squirrel class loved having Ben come in to do some music with us. We explored different instruments and got the chance to play them as a class. We even learnt a tune to play Soda Pop!
Some of our Squirrels have enjoyed making our very own pizzas, we chose the ingredients and toppings we would like (almost all of us wanted some cheese!). We spoke about how we cook them and how much we enjoy them too, they were super yummy! 🍕😊
This term in PE we have had a special visitor from Lancashire Cricket Club! Ben has been showing Squirrels how to play a game of cricket, bat and bowl! The children have developed amazing cricket skills and are so excited for the session every week! Thank you Ben 🏏😄
Squirrels took a Christmassy trip to the garden centre 🎄🎅 . We enjoyed dancing along to the different characters, finding the biggest Christmas trees and trying on some Christmas hats☺️.. Squirrels are truly in the Christmas spirit! 🐿️ 🌟🎄
Squirrels had a visit from a circus, we played lots of different games, became conductors for a while and tried on our very own clown noses! 🎪🎈
As part of our history topic Squirrels are learning about the first plane… we took a trip to Barton Airport to spot some planes and we even saw a helicopter 🚁. Squirrels enjoyed watching planes take off and land, they raced alongside the helicopter as it flew across the field. Squirrels had lots of fun 😄
As part of our History topic – Squirrels took a trip to Flixton House, we took a walk around the gardens and discussed what we could see, what we liked and had a look at the different paintings we spotted. Squirrels were also very inquisitive about the different information boards, the dates they could see and things they could learn! Squirrels also all enjoyed sitting on the wooden throne! 🤴
Happy Halloween Squirrels! 👻🎃 Squirrels enjoyed hollowing out oranges and filling them with jelly, we then drew some spooky faces on the front of them! We also had fun creating some scary skeleton pictures with lots of different materials
Squirrels took a trip to the garden centre, we had a checklist and we hunted around for different things. Squirrels searched high and low for things to tick off, worked well as a team and managed to complete it all (minus the barbecue!) 😄. Squirrels also found some things to dress up with and had a dance along to some Halloween decorations🎃
🐿️🎨 Our Squirrels have been getting creative in art! We went on a nature walk to find different natural objects to draw. From smelling fragrant lavender to spotting colorful leaves, the children chose a variety of treasures to inspire their artwork. What a lovely way to explore and create! 🍂🌿
Squirrels are loving PE this year! 🐿️They’ve been playing lots of different games, working on teamwork, building confidence, and making new friendships in our class. Such a great start! 🙂
