Brushing our teeth

We have been talking about brushing our teeth with Ginger over the last two weeks, the children have been very helpful to Gingers friend Honey Bear who needed to go visit the dentist.

They have explained to them how to brush their teeth and made posters.

The 300 party

We had a big celebration today!  Some of our learners typed the story directly into Clicker Docs themselves, aren't they clever?!

Today we had a party because we had 300 children at stonefields school. All the children had balloons at the party. We did drawing with chalk on the ground at lunchtime. It was awesome at the party! What did you think about the party?

Oliver's Story Board

Today we practiced story board writing, this is telling a story without words. Here is Oliver to show us his:

Phonics and Handwriting Brain exercises!

 After phonics we get both sides of our brain to talk to each other. We pat our head and rub our tummies.

We march on the spot or around the hub.

 We learn how to touch the opposite knee with our opposite hand.

 

It is hard and we have to be determined. 

 Look at us we have got it... Can you practice at home?

We love dress-ups!

Real Life Learning in Action!

You can't hold a Stonefields learner back!

Check out Charlie and Oliver in their kitchens baking up a storm.  They must have ran home and gotten their noses straight into their recipe books.  Well done, boys, you've really shown everyone that learning doesn't just happen between 9 and 3 at school.

How did they taste?  What was the best part about this home learning challenge?  What was tricky?

We can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

Enjoy our photos and be sure to check back as more Hub 1 learners get in on the action...
