The eels have been released!

This afternoon we took a lovely walk down through the fields to Well Hill Lake where we released our eels.  We had around 100 eels each to release into the lake. Some of them were big and fat and all of them were wriggly.  Some of us were very brave and held the eels in our hands as they were poured into the water.  Ceri (the eel lady) said that they can last for 15 years so if we all come back in 15 years time we may still see one or two of our eels in the lake.
A big thank you for all of the mums and dads that came to help and a special thank you to Ceri and the Severn and Wye Smokery for lending us the eels.

Alien Descriptions

Alien film first group from Aqua Class on Vimeo.

Inspired by Hoctopize, a main character in our Toys in Space story, the children drew their own space creature and used interesting words to describe what they had drawn.
The film only has some of our pictures, more to follow by the end of this week. We hope you enjoy them!

Our first blog of the year!

Well we are already at the end of week 5 and the children have settled amazingly well.  They are able to find their way around the classroom and the school and new friendships are beginning to form.

We have had a busy start to the year. This term our topic is Me and My Bear and we have been learning to retell Goldilocks and the Three Bears using actions to help us to remember the important words.  We have also been investigating porridge and drawing Goldilocks, making sure that she has a body as well as hands at the end of her arms and feet at the bottom of her legs.

This week in letters and sounds we have been learning g, o, c and k so that makes 12 sounds that we have now learnt in total. Some of us are now able to blend the sounds together to read the words. Very exciting!

In maths this week we have been counting everything! One of us counted 103 people in our plastic people pot.  We have also been ordering numbers to 20 on our big number line and playing guess the missing number games.

Tomorrow we are going to perform our Goldilocks story to Midnight Class and our school Nursery so we hope we can remember it all! We will let you know how we get on!
