This week our new nursery children have started their journey at Hillside. They have been busy making friends, getting used to the school routines and enjoying exploring our fantastic resources and areas. We have had a brilliant week and are very impressed with how well the children have settled!

This week we having been reading the story of Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. Following on from this, we hot seated Baby Bear from the story. The children came up with some fantastic questions to ask Baby Bear about his trip to the moon. The answers were amazing!
Year Three have started their Maths Unit with Place value and used concrete resources such as Base 10 and beads to represent numbers in different ways. Everyone was working very hard.
We have started our gymnastic unit. Children have been learning how to perform a cat jump full turn. Over the course of this half-term, they will be learning other jumps, leaps, turns, travels and rolls before putting all of their learning together for a final performance.

We have explored the book “How to wash a woolly mammoth’ from Michelle Robinson. We sequenced the process into clear steps and acted it up by washing our reading bus!!! Lots of fun!
