The children enjoyed looking at the laminated booklet and they were able to identify the various roles. We extended this further by choosing picture cards from our topic pot. This was a great way to promote communication and language and modelling language.

Unfortunately, Sevenoaks Fire Brigade were unable to visit us on Tuesday as they were called to an incident…perhaps it was a windy incident after all the blustery wind we experienced this week. Nevermind, as we are going to arrange another date very soon!

The Robins were very excited when I mentioned the words hot chocolate treat! We packed our class bag and ventured around the school grounds, finishing with a yummy treat in the outdoor classroom. I must say, they all sat beautifully and waited very patiently for a hot chocolate top-up.

This is my favourite season as the leaves are falling and the stunning autumnal leaves are beautiful. The Robins enjoyed collecting a variety of leaves on our walk and they liked adding them to our Interest table.

Continuing with our topic, the Robins enjoyed playing the role of a dentist. They carefully used the toothbrushes provided to clean the laminated teeth and teeth model - excellent brushing, Robins!

We have enjoyed our music sessions with Miss Norford and the children have already started to learn our Harvest songs. The Robins also liked using a variety of musical instruments and of course, the African drum.

The children have been busy spotting birds through our Bird Watching window. They spotted robins and a cheeky magpie.

On Wednesda,y it was National Fitness Day so to celebrate this, we made bread rolls in the afternoon. There were lots of movements, squeezing and patting as the children kneaded the dough. Rosemary was then added from our Herb Garden.

Following on with our cooking activities, the children made apple turnovers and a yummy strawberry mousse. As always, we delivered our cooking to Mrs Tickner, Mrs Parker and Mr McCarthy. They were very impressed with our baking skills, especially the turnovers that had a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on top.

It is lovely having the Form 6 children spend time with us and they are always so helpful and caring towards our Robins.

We ended the week with a fun PE session in the Russell Hall. The Robins carefully balanced along the bobbly snake and they did some fantastic jumping on the trampoline.

Next week, we will be exploring seeds, so please feel free to send in some treasures if you explore the great outdoors over the weekend.
