Our Nursery children have been busy investigating an icy small world inspired by Lost and Found! 🌊✨

The children discovered penguins, snow, and ice — using their senses and imagination to describe what they could see and feel. They used spoons, scoops, and containers to explore size and capacity, comparing how much each one could hold and noticing when things were full, empty, big, or small.

Lots of fantastic early maths language and problem-solving happening through play! 🧊🐧💙

Exploring Penguins after reading Lost and Found!

This week in Nursery, we are reading Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. The children loved the story of the little boy and the penguin and we decided to learn more about these amazing animals!

We created our very own penguins using different shapes and materials — adding beaks, wings, and feet just like in the story.

We also explored ice and light to see where penguins might live and talked about what makes them special.

We loved seeing the children’s creativity and curiosity come to life through play and storytelling!

Y6 Taskmaster - WEEK 2 The Sockness Monster

Week 2 saw more laughter, chaos and enjoyment. PRIZE task saw lots of creative sock designs for 'best socks'. A disguised sock in the shape and design of a donut won Mrs Mitchell's vote!

In the tasks, first the teams needed to use socks to measure the classroom, the tables and the walls! Then they had to put as many 'unique' items inside a sock, including a member's hand and wrist! However, a second part to the task was a twist no one expected! Writing their 9x tables out with their hand AND the objects in the sock!

Judging was tough as there was a lot to consider: the number of unique items, the most unique item, the name of the sock, the voice of the sock and the fastest to write the times table! All participated with enthusiasm and many laughs were had!
