Welcome to Chestnut Class!
Miss Lloyd, Miss Kirwin & Mrs Jones
I am so excited to get started and stuck in with lots of new learning, develop new skills and work with a variety of new children! Chestnut will have many opportunities for new friendship building, teamwork, independent opportunities and sharing their voice! So let's have an incredible year together! :)
Website will be updated weekly, every Friday, with pictures of our learning and any other exciting stuff we get up to!
Please Note: I will be deleting all updates every 2 weeks. This is to help ensure that accessing the website isn't too slow due to the amount of photos uploaded. So make sure you've caught up each week :)
Week 1 & 2
We have had a wonderful first couple of weeks of Chestnut class, really getting stuck in with our learning and loving learning through play everyday! The children have already created some lovely friendships and bonds, mixing together so well!
Here are a variety of pictures across the weeks , including children engaging in 'choose & learn' time, learning through play!

In English we began our new book this week, Leo & the Octopus, but started it off by not revealing the story and just had some clues so we needed to make predictions on what we thought the story was about!
In Science, our topic is all about senses and our bodies and have completed 2 experiments already! Last week we were measuring our hands to see if they were smaller or bigger than our feet and this week we were testing our hearing in different ways, learning about how sound travels! We experimented the best ways we could hear the tambourine. Close to it? Far away? With our hoods up or down?
Zoom in! There are children stood far away trying to listen!

In Art, we learnt that artists are not just painters or drawers but also explorers & collectors! We spent the lesson being collectors, creating art outside using bits and bobs we could collect and then used the camera to take our own pictures of our art work!
Have a conversation with your child about their learning this week with these questions in our Learning Conversations!
Look through our meet the teacher presentation to find out what we will be up to this year! On it, it includes a daily timetable so you can see what a typical day will look like.
