Chalkhill Class

We have had such a busy, fitness-filled week and tried lots of new things!

We loved our martial arts lesson with Forfit who showed us how to safely perform different kicks and defence skills. The children were amazing at this and Forfit also offer an afterschool club in Dorchester. 

We made dens for animals in a forest school session with Mrs P and finished off the week by baking some bread rolls just like The Little Red Hen! 

As well as all this we started each day with some exercise outside, including whole school dance, zumba and yoga!

Have a lovely weekend and check out our photos below! 🙂

We spent the morning exploring our beautiful pond area, enjoying the wildflowers and sunshine and searching for signs of life in the water.

We were lucky enough to find tadpoles, froglets, pond skaters, water boatmen and pond snails!

We had a fabulous end to the week with all our Coronation activities and celebrations! Thank you to everyone at home for sending in natural materials and/or helping to create a crown at home – they looked magnificent! One of the day’s highlights was searching for the Crown Jewels and other special features of the coronation in the Royal Treasures hunt – ask us how many we found!

If you and your child fancy getting creative for the coronation you might like to enter our crown competition (details below).

Chalkhill have been brilliant at spotting and describing the different shapes and features of London landmarks during our learning about King Charles’ coronation. We were inspired to construct our own versions of bridges and towers – check out some of our creations below!

Our last few days of term were full of Easter fun! We learned about the Easter story in assembly, shared books and songs, created some Spring art and loved preparing and eating hot cross buns at snack time. Today we were wowed by some amazing Easter bonnets and kind donations of prizes and chocolate eggs.

Thank you from all the Chalkhill adults for your kind gifts and holiday wishes. Happy Easter, everyone! 🐣

We’ve been busy creating constellations, making moons and painting planets!

We loved squeezing, shaping, pinching and poking to make these colourful creations! 👾🐙🦠

It was so exciting to go inside the science dome today to learn more about dinosaurs! We found out about how they lived, what they ate and how some of them hunted. It was amazing to see life-sized dinosaurs projected onto the screen all around us. We even learned how they became extinct! What a brilliant end to our topic 🙂

Happy half term, everyone!

Hurray for Number Day! We joined in lots of number songs, had some counting challenges and went on a number hunt around school. Thank you to everyone for your donations and for helping the children look amazing! 🔢🎲⏰💯
