Portway Infant School
When the sun is shining we like to take our learning outside and what better way to get some exercise and practise our turn taking than going on the bikes and trikes! We have lots of different designs - even some that move by using our hands! We can develop our gross motor skills and balance by having some fun with our friends.
We have been learning all about the artist Pablo Picasso this week. We practised our scissor skills to cut up photographs of our faces to then stick down and create our own piece of art in the style of Picasso.
We have been on a visit to Spain today in Cygnet Class! We arrived at school and got straight on the aeroplane with our passports! We found out lots of interesting things about Spain, especially the fact that Pablo Picasso was born there. We have had lots of fun making the Spanish flag, Spanish fans and doing our very own Flamenco dancing!
We even learnt some of the language! Have a look at the fun we had...
Adios!
We had our first taste of PE this week at Portway. We only took off our shoes and socks this time but we did so brilliantly and with hardly any help! We headed into the hall to perform some Write Dance. We listened to music and made circles and eights with our arms to music. Once we had practised this we used floaty scarves and performed to our friends!
Our First Week
What a busy first week we have had at Portway! We have been finding out about the different places inside and outside of our classroom, learning about how to use the different resources and making lots of friends. We have had a great start to our time in Year R! Come and see what we have been up to...
