Welcome to Seahorses
We are a fun and vibrant class of 10 superstar children and 5 adults. We love to be as active as we can with our learning and a carousel of activities works well for us. We get together as a whole class for the start of each lesson as well as really important times of the day such as registration, snack, lunch and Rainbow time when we can celebrate and enjoy the achievements of ourselves and our friends.

Pupils are planting potatoes at the Patch and learning about what foods give them energy. | Make a junk model town and traffic lights etc… you can use this to role play road safety. Plan a meal involving potato, rice, pasta or another energy rich food. Discuss how we eat the pasta to give us energy, the tomato sauce for nutrients (it comes from tomatoes) and cheese for calcium (for our bones). |
| Art & Craft | Clay Pupils will be sculpting and building with clay this term. | Make salt dough together and bake your creation in the oven. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-salt-dough-recipe Be careful when handling, as it can be dangerous to digest too much salt at once.
