Autumn

Introducing Suckley School’s newest members!

This Term's topic is "Builders, Drivers and Super High Flyers"

Oh the adventures we have had during our first week of school. The children have settled in brilliantly, investigating their surrounding confidently and expertly! Exploring the wonders of minibeasts, harvesting crops, building forts, mark-making, cutting, sticking, making chocolate soup in the mud kitchen to name but a few of our escapades - yes I have got stuck into my new roll as builder, chef, farmer, artist… the list goes on, along with the children!

Keep your eyes “peeled”!
What will become of our harvested potatoes?

Circle Time with Mrs Field

Listening and turn taking are skills we use when showing our Suckley school values ‘Kindness’ and ‘Respect’ I am so proud to report, we have wonderfully kind Wrens at Suckley school!

Buddies!
At Suckley School, we support and care for each other. Our fantastic Year 6 children have been paired with our Wrens to support them through their first year at school, and beyond. Year 6 will be showing Wrens games to play at break times, reading to each other, helping with day-to-day routines and most importantly being a buddy. Thank you to our brilliant Year 6 children for making such a positive impact to Wrens first week at school.

Wrens enjoyed using the touch board to write and couloir number 1.

Great session in Wrens garden today, exploring the water tray using the paintbrushes to paint the road. Brilliant mark making to support pencil holding and writing. We also used play dough to find prints in the garden.

We made ‘Silly Soup’ today, can you guess what sound went into our silly soup? Scissors, snake, sock, stone, spoon and a sausage!

Wrens enjoyed using paints as part of their outdoor play, they made finger painting pictures. Lots of fun and opportunities for colour mixing.

Maths

As part of their practical maths lesson, Wrens found mystery objects in the bag and found their match. We discussed how the items matched because they are the same. We looked at the wooden spoon and the metal spoon “Are these objects the same?” The children could tell me that they are different because of their size and material but they are the same because of the job that they do. Wrens used this to make plates with various objects that matched the pictures as part of their continuous provision.

As part of our topic, Builders, Drivers and super High Flyers we looked at the poem ‘Block City’ by Robert Louis Stevenson which inspired us to make our own block city. We used our buildings to inspire our own poem which we turned into a book! Please come and see it on out Learning Journey Display and have a read!
