Term Two
We had a fabulous morning at College Farm Nursery School in Armagh, where we explored lots of People who help us with our shared education partners. Huge thanks to Mrs Kelly and the team there who made us so welcome.
We have been playing in our role play hospital for the past few weeks, learning lots of new vocabulary and how to interact with others in different scenarios. Today we put all our learning to good use in our Teddy Bears’ Clinic where we saw patients with tummy ache, headache, broken bones, fever, toothache, ear infections and many more ailments! The boys and girls were very gentle doctors and nurses!
In honour of Mrs O’Neill’s Chinese heritage we celebrated Chinese New Year. Mrs O’Neill taught us how to say Kung Hei Fat Choi, which means Happy New Year! We practised our fine motor skills with a fun woolly noddle game where we had to use chopsticks or tweezers to collect the noodles! We practised our scissor skills by making beautiful Chinese lanterns. We looked at very tricky Chinese writing and tried so hard to make our own. And we had prawn crackers at snack time. What a fun day!
Our firefighter training at PE has been very popular with the afternoon class. These pictures were taken on Number Day when we loved talking about, colouring, writing and exploring numbers all in a good cause for NSPCC.

Playful science: floating and sinking. We investigated which objects float and which things sink. We found that things made of metal sink because they are heavy, the boats float except when we put heavy objects inside them, and the sponges, cork and stick float because they are light. We noticed when we drop the toy pig in the water it sinks, but when we put it in the boat it floats!
Playful science PM class: we enjoyed making fossils and dinosaur prints in the playdough. We pretended to be scientists and tried to free the fossils from the rocks. We also made great imprints.
Playful science AM Class: we investigated fossils, bones and dinosaurs in the playdough today! Did you know that a fossil is a dinosaur preserved in rock after millions of years? Huge thanks to Noah T and Ollie for being our dino advisors: the two boys are experts in dinosaur names, habitat and diet!
Dinosaur printing in the afternoon class! Lots of stomps through the paint!
Our morning class enjoyed printing with the dinosaurs! We dipped the feet into the paint and stomped across the page!
To fit in with our adventure topic, we completed an obstacle course: the boys and girls in the afternoon class were great at balancing along the wobbly bridge, crawling through the dark cave, avoiding the crocodiles on the stepping stones and climbing up the big mountain. It was terrific fun!
Our topic this month is adventure so we set up a fun obstacle course for our first PE lesson of the new year. The morning class boys and girls were expert explorers- they balanced across the wobbly bridge, went across the stepping stones, crawled through the dark cave and climbed the high mountain! We had so much fun!
