KS1 visit our local Leisure Centre for sports activities
As part of our Healthy Me theme, the children in Year 1 and Year 2 visited Stocksbridge Leisure Centre to take part in different physical activities. The children had a wonderful time exercising and learning how their body feels when they are active .
Firefighters Visit
The children enjoyed their visit from the firefighters. They listened and asked questions.
Diwali
The children have enjoyed looking at the festival of light, Diwali. Year Ones have read the story of Rama and Sita, decided which characters in the story are good and which are bad. They then made traditional clay thumb pot diva lamps in Welly Wednesday.
The Reception children made reflective disc diva lamps, using their fine motor skills to peel and stick gems and stickers.
We tried poppadoms and a coconut treat that is eaten during in Diwali and enjoyed watching a program showing the different way it is celebrated.
Tutti Fruitti- A Lightbulb Princess
The theatre came to Stocksbridge Nursery and Infant School. There was lights, music, singing and dancing. We sat and watched, joined in and had so much fun.
A visit from a vet
Class 7 really enjoyed the visit from a vet. They asked lots of questions, talked about how to look after pets and animals and had a go themselves at listening for a heartbeat, putting a bandage on and getting ready for surgery. We then put all the information into practice in our own vet role play area.
