I just wanted to share some fantastic art work that Dasha from Y3/4EV has produced during her home learning time. These are some beautiful pieces of watercolour artwork. We knew she had a talent but these are just stunning – well done, Dasha.

Here are some colourful patterns of leaves also done by Dasha.

Bears

Posted on Tuesday 14 July 2020 by Reception Team

Have you been on a ‘Bear Hunt’ recently? We started our school year in September by reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ because so many of you talked about it being your favourite story during our home visits. So, we thought that we’d end our year by revisiting the story.

  • We love this version of the story, performed by Michael Rosen. See if you can join in with the sound effects and actions.
  • For those of you that have enjoyed the yoga activities, we’ve found a Cosmic Yoga  for you to take part in that tells the story through yoga poses and balances. Have fun!
  • We love to retell the story outside at Nursery. Have a go at re-telling it on your next walk. What will you have to walk through?

Finally, have you had your teddy bear’s picnic yet? It’s not too late to join in and send us a photo. All you need is a blanket, a teddy and a snack! Enjoy your picnic and take a snap. Email us – scholesf1@spherefederation.org

Remember, there’ll be a special ‘end of year’ Nursery video for you to enjoy on Friday!
