Brilliant, Buzzy Bees!

noreply@blogger.com (BeightonSchoolSheffield) — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 07:22:00 +0000

This week we were lucky enough to get a visit from an 'Apiarist' (Bee Keeper). We learnt all about how to look after bees and why they are so important for our World. We asked lots of questions and found out that bees pollinate around a third of our food. We also got to look at the bees honey and even try some. It was delicious!

This week Purple Class have been 'Exploring Elmer's' while looking at number bonds to 10. We have used a variety of resources to help us including; cubes, Numicon, paper chains, ladybirds, tens frames and part-whole models. Take a look at our fantastic learning!

First week back!

noreply@blogger.com (BeightonSchoolSheffield) — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:57:00 +0000

It's great to have everyone enjoying their learning together at school again, we have had lots of fun! For our first full week back after home learning we have been busy learning about weight in Maths. We have been 'Exploring Elmer's' using the balance scales to estimate and test which objects are heavy or light. We have also had the Beebots out in the provision where the children have loved giving and following directions to send them to and around different objects or people in the classroom!

Jack and the Beanstalk

noreply@blogger.com (BeightonSchoolSheffield) — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 16:40:00 +0000

This week we have been learning the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We have made our own beanstalk pictures, had fun re-telling the story and made up our own ending to the story. But was there a happy ending?

Hibernating Hedgehogs!

noreply@blogger.com (BeightonSchoolSheffield) — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 16:34:00 +0000

In Science, we have been learning about how and why some animals hibernate. We conducted a Science experiment to see which hot water bottle would retain the most heat. Can you remember was it the furry hot water bottle or the naked hot water bottle?

We found out that animals need to keep warm over winter when hibernating to survive. Next, we decided to make a hedgehog nest in Forest School to keep the hedgehog warm over winter. Can you name some animals that hibernate?

Happy Half Term!

I would love to know what you get up to. So, feel free to send in any photos of your half term adventures to the purple class email so we can share them when we get back to school.(purpleclass@beighton.sheffield.sch.uk).

Fun Fine Motor!

noreply@blogger.com (BeightonSchoolSheffield) — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 17:00:00 +0000

This week Purple Class have been developing their fine motor skills during our continuous provision time. Each day we work in groups taking part in different fine motor activities, then we encourage the children to apply these skills within the provision. This includes; writing, drawing, cutting, sticking, using pipettes and building! Can you spot the robots and the letter 'm'?

A Million Dreams

BLUE = Y2 only

ORANGE = Nursery, Reception and Y1

GREEN = Everyone

I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make
