Nursery had an amazing time at Forest School last week! We built dens, mastered knot-tying, and helped water/plant in the Science Garden. Plus, the hot, rainy weather meant lots of slugs and newts! ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ๐ŸฆŽ #ForestSchool #NurseryAdventures

Last week in maths, Year 1 learnt all about time. First, they explored a clock and identified its different features including the numbers, minute hand and hour hand. Then the children used the clocks to begin to tell the time to hour.

The SLS children made a plant pot made out of clay. We used different methods to mould our clay using wooden clay rollers, pottery sculpting tools and our hands.

Last week, Year 1 have been learning all about instructions in English. They followed each instruction one by one and were able to create some delicious honey and marmalade sandwiches all at the request of one of their favorite story characters, Paddington!

In PSHE, Year 3 have been learning about gender stereotypes and exploring the roles often linked to men and women. They discussed how these ideas can be unfair and talked about how everyone should be free to choose their own path, no matter their gender.

This week, Nursery had their Forest School Graduation to celebrate their last session in our science garden. First, we did a special walk down the runway and got our lovely Forest School certificates. Then, we had some lovely snacks with our Mummies and Daddies.

Last week, Year 1 have been exploring money in maths. They did plenty of hands-on learning to familiarise themselves with the amounts that we have in coins and notes. This helped them to notice the colour, sizes and shape of our money.

Last week the SLS children looked at our teeth and how we can keep them clean and healthy. As well as this we have travelled to Africa! We looked at different animals that live in Africa. To celebrate this we started to make our own giraffe.

Autumn Adventure! ๐Ÿ‚ The children from SLS took their learning outside today to fully engage their senses. We listened to the satisfying crunch of leaves, admired the vibrant autumn colors, and explored the many different textures of nature.

Maths Magic! โœจ Year 5 had a brilliant time at the Black Heroes of Mathematics workshop this week. They discovered how truly fascinating maths is and were captivated by the "magic" and history behind the numbers.

Maths & Science Fun! The SLS children were busy with hands-on learning today. In maths, they practiced one-to-one matching by placing lolly sticks in ice cube trays. In science, they became young chemists, learning how to separate items from sand using a sieve.
