Rose Class have immersed themselves in pretending to be Beegu, exploring life on Earth, making friends and searching for their mum. They have also enjoyed pretending to travel in a spaceship, saying goodbye to Earth. These engaging experiences have sparked the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning more about space, encouraging their imagination, creativity and storytelling skills. 

                                                 

      

 

Autumn fun

Indigo class has been having a great time exploring how to be a super hero like Traction Man, we have been very mindful of being kind, caring and supportive of our friends just like a good super hero should be. We have had the opportunity to work together as a team and have enjoyed our free learning time by playing lots of turn taking games and helping each other, especially when it comes to tidy up time. It has been lovely to see the children working together and listening to the vocabulary they have been using.

 

 

In our Rose class English lessons, we are reading Beegu (for 3 weeks).  

Here is a video link for you to share the book at home with your child
