Balmoral

Balmoral have been learning how to use a ruler accurately, measuring in cm. They have tried incredibly hard and are looking forward to measuring in metres.    

We had the most amazing time travelling the world trying lots of food, crafts, music and sharing their culture. We also shared our learning this week with others, showing our art, learning and setting up the most fantastic classroom design featuring lots of Mexican activities and decoration.

Mexican games, the pinata was so much fun!

Bullfighting in Balmoral.

Balmoral loved the new equipment in the sensory room.

Balmoral are loving the new topic Spirit, learning about the Olympics. We have discussed how the Paralympics is accessible for all and tried the sport Goal Ball. Children wore blind folds and used a ball with bells, they used their sense of hearing to defend their goal. It was competitive but great fun!

While the sun is out we took the opportunity to take our books to the local park, it was a beautiful day and we felt so relaxed. After our reading we played on the park and had a lot of fun together, the best was the seesaw and the wobbly chairs.

We had an amazing day at Hesley Woods: crate stacking, orienteering, playing games and cooking and preparing our lunches. They were the best jacket potatoes ever, so many different fillings and keeping it healthy with plenty of salad. Everyone has asked if we can go again!

It was great fun seeing children challenge themselves and conquer their fears. Balmoral became a strong team working together, cheering on our friends and celebrating their successes.

Getting ready for crate stacking, putting on our harnesses and helmets, safety first!
