Subitising 3

Did you know…we can now subitise 3! This means, if we see 3 objects together, we no longer need to count them! We know there are 3 objects just by making links and noticing patterns.

Peer massage

Mrs Ritchie helped us use our massage skills that we have recently learned from Maria. We made sure to ask permission before we started 💆‍♀️

What is safe to go into my body?

Today, we talked about what is safe to go into our bodies. We know that food and drink are safe, but we must remember to ask adults first. We might think a bottle looks like it has juice, but we should check. We talked about how medicine is safe, but we should never take medicine without a grown up – only medicines that are meant to be for children are safe. We also had a go at opening a medicine bottle…but it was too tricky! The special lid is to keep us safe.

What is safe to go into my body?

Last week, we talked about what was safe to go onto our bodies such as sun cream, soap, plasters. Building on our learning, this week we talked about what is safe to go into our bodies. We talked about medicine and how this is only safe when it is given to us by a trusted grown up. We also looked at vitamins and at first, we thought they were sweets! Vitamins and medicines come in special bottles and tubs with lids that we can’t do to make sure we don’t have too much.

Year 6 – Anfield – Diversity Workshop

This afternoon pupils from Year 6 went to Anfield to attend a Diversity Awareness Workshop. They asked some super questions and demonstrated a really inclusive attitude – we were really proud of them.

Year 4 – Dogs Trust

Today we had an interesting session from the dogs trust. 🐕‍🦺🐩🦮 We learnt about how dogs use their senses and how to safely interact with dogs.

Year 6- Dogs Trust Assembly

Year 6 found the Dogs Trust assembly very beneficial, as it taught them how to approach a dog safely and what to do if an unknown dog approaches them.

Dogs Trust

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed a workshop today with Dogs Trust. We learned how to correctly approach a dog and different ways to ensure we are safe around them.

Year 5 – Global partnership

5M are creating newsletters for children in Year 5 at United School International in Doha. They are sharing information about life at Stockton Wood and life in Liverpool. We can’t wait to find out about life in Qatar.

Tubes + cars = FUN 🤩

We’ve made our own car tracks and tunnels with some tubes and boxes today! We balanced the tubes on the furniture and drove our cars down to see how fast they could go! We had to work as a team.

Big Cook, Little Cook

Have a look at our ingredients…what do you think is on the menu today? We had to listen really carefully to Mrs Sefton as she told us the steps of the recipe…

Wear you scarf to school day 🧣

Staying safe, indoors and outdoors

Last week, we talked about how we stay safe both indoors and outdoors. The children were fantastic – they knew straight away that we must follow rules to stay safe. The children were able to confidently talk about the rules we have in nursery to keep our classroom safe and happy, so we moved outside. We looked at the road, and talked about some of the dangers we might come across and how we can keep ourselves safe.

Stay and Learn

Thank you to all our families who joined us for stay and learn this morning! It was a huge success and the children really love welcoming their families into their classroom. We made our own dough, made some porridge and tasted it just like Goldilocks, cutting and sticking, and fine motor activities. The children really enjoyed it and we hope you did too 🥰

Stay and Learn

We have had a fantastic afternoon with our stay and learn! We enjoyed showing off our learning. Thank you to our families who helped us with our maths focus today!

Year One – Super Kind

We are so proud of our Year One Change Makers! Following our assembly last week these pupils have made posters encouraging people to recycle! #Super Kind

Valentine’s hugs

Today, we talked about how Valentine’s Day is all about love and friendship. We talked about all the people we love, and spoke about ways we can express our love to our family and friends. Lots of children suggested hugs, so that’s exactly what we did! How better to spread joy than to paint each other a picture, and give each other a cuddle…then our paintings will match! True friendship ❤️🥰

LGBT+ Awareness

As part of LGBT+ awareness week, we read a booked called ‘Introducing Teddy’. We discussed the story of gender and friendship. The children wrote letters to Tilly from Errol.

LGBTQ+ Week

5M are working hard with a partner to research famous LGBTQ activists. We will present our findings before planning and writing biographies.

Who helps us?

We have started a new PSHE unit : Rights and respect. We have been discussing how different people help us.

Visit to ‘the park’

We enjoyed visiting the new ‘park’ today! We conquered some fears (because crossing a wobbly bridge is much scarier than it looks sometimes!), and used our core muscles to help us keep our balance. We had 2 children who initially wouldn’t cross the bridge, but with some encouragement, they not only did it with help, but they then did it all by themselves! We create safe opportunities for children to take risk 🥰

Big cook, little cook

Today we made shortbread biscuits! We weighed the ingredients, and mixed them together. Once they were ready, we let them cool…but they didn’t last much longer than that! 😋

Year 2 collaboration

Wow! We had a fantastic collaborative story session with our new friends in Qatar!

Celebrating our families

Tasting pancakes

We tasted some pancakes and some toppings today! They were absolutely delicious 😋 happy Pancake Tuesday!

Pancake races!

We took turns to race with our pancakes to the gate and back! We cheered for our friends as they balanced the pancakes carefully. We dropped some, but that all adds to the fun 🤩

Pancake Day

Reception have been learning about Shrove Tuesday. To celebrate we made pancakes. Our toppings included: strawberries, lemon, sugar, syrup and cream.

World Book Day

We are dressed in beautiful colours today to celebrate World Book Day! We talked about all the colours we could see on our clothes – our carpet looked like a rainbow today 🌈 we read the Colour Monster book, and spotted the colours from the story on our clothes!

Dyslexia

This morning we had a really good discussion about dyslexia. We discussed how everyone’s brain works differently, and the strengths and struggles that come with this.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week

A huge thank you to Mr Boyd for hanging our neurodiversity umbrellas! Neurodiversity is an umbrella term used to refer to all of the different ways of thinking. This week the children are learning about Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD and Dyspraxia. Ask your child if they know any famous people who are neurodivergant!

Neurodiversity week

To celebrate Neurodiversity week, 4D have been learning about how we are all different from one another. We have been focusing on dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ASD.

We especially have been loving our colourful school.
