Park Fell's Learning

In PE, we are focussing on ball skills. We have been practicing passing, bouncing the balls, and moving them around in different ways. 

We have been looking at transport, comparing different types from the past and present. 

The Christmas Play!

Everyday in Park Fell we have got a Christmas book to open and share with the class and a nativity advent calendar where we find a new person or animal from the Nativity Story.

The book bus came to visit us. We got to listen and join in with a story and then we all got to pick 1 book each to bring back to our classroom to enjoy. 

In RE this half term we are learning about 'The Christmas Story'. We have been listening to the story and using pictures to stick and cut them in the correct order. 

In Art, we have been learning about Vincent Van Gogh. We used his painting of 'Starry Night' to identify the patterns, shapes and colours we can see. We then used watercolours to recreate our own version.

We had a great day for Children in Need. We discussed what Children in Need is, created crafts, followed Joe Wicks live, took part in RunPudsey, created our own Pudsey biscuits and much more!

Park Fell enjoyed Remembrance Day, having a special assembly to share ideas and have a moment of silence. We also created poppies using different materials. 

We have been on a visit to Gilderdale to join in with forest school. We had so much fun exploring the area, looking for insects, climbing ropes and fallen down trees and using the hammock. As well as this we used the paint and mud kitchen. We discussed fire safety and then toasted marshmallows and…

We have been learning about Diwali. 

We then used saltdough to create our own Diwali lamp. Once dry we used bright colours to decorate them. 

We went on a walk around Alston as part of our 'I wonder who I am' topic. We discussed road safety and then used this to explore the local area, see which buildings are around us and what their purpose is.
