Woodpeckers

This week Woodpeckers and Ospreys went to visit Swanwick Lake where we learned all about how to dispose of our rubbish sensibly and properly. The children looked at pictures of animals who had been tangled up in rubbish and then tangled themselves up to see how it would feel. We also went on a bug hunt […]

In science we made shadows and drew round them. The sun was very low in the sky which made our shadows really long!  

Woodpeckers have had two great PE Coaches come in and teach us lots of new physical skills over the last half term. From ball skills to balancing and even improving our team work, we have had a great deal of fun in PE. Watch the video below to see just how much fun we had […]

For anyone following the World Cup this year, here is a message from Woodpeckers.  

Last week Woodpeckers had a great day out at Leisure Places (formerly Fleming Park) where we took part in a cricket tournament all day. Everyone had a brilliant time and there are definitely a few Freddie Flintoff’s in the making. You can see the Woodies “knocking it for six” in the video below.

Woodpeckers have had another fantastic fun filled week, topped off with a great day visiting Osbourne School in preparation of September. I have put together a video of just some of the outdoor learning we have done this week and last, as well a few added photos from celebrating two birthdays in Woodpeckers this week! […]

Day three and we spent the day exploring the woods at Moors Valley. It has been another tiring day working our way through the play trail, climbing, swinging, sliding and running and of course a whole lot of walking! Everyone had a great time and we topped it all off with a trip to McDonalds […]

It’s day two and we have had an exhausting but incredible day! We have all had a go at archery, abseiling and the adventure course, and even managed to fit in a bit of t-shirt design and roasting marshmallows to make smores. Check out the video below to see a snapshot of everything we got […]

We’ve arrived at Avon Tyrrell and had a great first day out in the sun. We’ve made our beds, explored our surroundings and even went hunting for mini-beasts in the garden. The children are now fed, showered and dressed in their pyjamas ready to spend the first night away. I’ve uploaded a sample of the […]

Woodpeckers have been making the most of the good weather this week and have done a little bit of outdoor learning in our sensory garden. Check out the video below to see what we got up to.
