It’s taken a long time to put up but a truly wonderful time was had at the Conifer Class Museum about Vikings. Let’s have a look back at what a great time we had!

Half-term homework

February 13, 2020Leave a comment

This half term, there will be no written homework. However, the scripts for the play have been handed out with the lines for the children to learn. If the children do not have many lines, here are the links to all of the songs so they can practise these.

Thank you for your continued support and roll on What’s The Crime Mr Wolf performances!

Viking Fun

February 4, 2020February 3, 2020Leave a comment

SO much Viking fun has been had this half-term. We had our visitor right at the beginning; we’ve drawn dragons and created some bracelets from the weaving materials and now we are going to create Viking badges.

On the last day of this half-term we’re going to show off all our creations and Viking knowledge to other classes in a Conifer Class museum. We have decided that we’d love to dress up as a Viking or dragon for that day and watch How To Train Your Dragon. A letter will be coming out shortly to make sure that we all remember.

How quickly another half-term of Conifer class fun has gone!

Yoga

We made up our own Yoga routines and shared them with the class. Telling a story using poses which could be added in, like ‘house pose’, ‘dog pose’ and ‘snake pose’.

Post-Minstead Blues

November 13, 2019Leave a comment

We’re really missing Minstead but we’re doing so much work on it all. We’re writing poetry about the New Forest, have found Minstead on map and we’ve been filling in our nature journals – sketching, finding out about our creatures and generally loving the memories!
