Gorse Hill Farm
The children came back full of their day out. They talked non top about feeding the animals, how it tickled their hands and how the animals’ tongues licked their hands too. The stroked a range of animals, fed them and learned all about them too. The children walked all the way from school to Gorse Hill Farm and back. A great day out!
Skipping Challenge
The Year 1 and Year 2 children took part in the skipping challenge to raise money for Leicester Children’s Holiday Homes, a charity which provides holidays for children not as lucky as most of us. The charity also supports schools with funding for school trips. The children did so well. They got better and better as they practised and as you can see really enjoyed it! Well done everyone!
Community Walk
Year 1 pupils and staff went on another community walk to explore their surrounding environment. When they reached the Fire Station they were invited in, and the Fire Officers showed them round and allowed them to climb in and sit in the cab.
Shared reading
Mrs Ciftci delivered a shared reading lesson to Year 1 pupils and parents. The aim of the lesson was not only to teach the children but also to support parents in helping their children with their reading. We were all very grateful to parents for giving their time to attend.
KS1 pupils sing at Abbey House Care Home
The Y1 and Y2 children walked down to Abbey House Care home where they entertained the elderly ladies and gentlemen whilst they ate their breakfast. The children sang beautifully and were rewarded with chocolate 😊
Newarke House Museum
As part of their history topic about toys, the Year 1 pupils and staff visited Newarke Houses Museum. It was a child’s paradise, being able to try out all sorts of different toys from a considerable time ago and from not so long ago.
What we all played with before Ipads, X-boxes and other electronic devices ! 😊
Year 1 community walk
Year 1 pupils went on a community walk as part of their Geography topic. They were looking at physical and human features, different types of houses, the fire station amongst other things in New Parks.
