Our Makaton Club has continued to develop their communication skills by learning a variety of fruit and vegetable signs in preparation for our upcoming learning all about Harvest. It has been wonderful to see the children growing in confidence each week as they practise and remember new signs. Their Makaton skills are improving all the time, and they are showing great perseverance and enthusiasm as they learn new ways to communicate with others. This learning has sparked lots of curiosity and conversation, reflecting our values of Wonder, Belief and Joy as we prepare to explore the importance of Harvest together.

Hedgehogs enjoyed a wonderful autumn walk last week as they explored the changes happening all around us in nature. The children carefully observed our trees, collected fallen treasures, and used sticks and natural materials to create their own beautiful nature wands. Through exploration and creativity, the children developed their fine motor skills as they carefully attached their discoveries. It was lovely to see their curiosity, imagination and joy shine as they searched the field for hidden treasures and signs of the changing season.

Foxes had a fantastic afternoon on Friday exploring watercolour techniques as part of their art learning! Continuing our appreciation of Lincolnshire artist Helen Dunning, the children discussed the familiar features of a typical Wolds landscape, from golden fields and rolling green hills to beautifully varied skies. Inspired by these local scenes, they created a wonderful collection of unique and distinctive artwork. Mrs Green was extremely proud to see every pupil demonstrate patience, perseverance and excellent attention to detail. Learning new skills and growing in confidence are such important parts of life at East Ravendale and our Foxes certainly embraced the challenge with wonder, belief and joy!

Foxes Class Reflector Investigation! Yesterday, Foxes Class became scientists as they explored the fascinating world of reflectors! The children selected five different items to investigate, including mirrors, carpets and windows. Using torches and a clever testing activity, they shone light onto each object to discover whether it reflected light back. By drawing around their torches and shining the light through the holes, they could see if the paper lit up. If it did, they knew the light had reflected back and that the item was a good reflector! It was wonderful to see the children showing such curiosity and enthusiasm as they investigated and made discoveries through hands-on learning. A fantastic example of learning through Wonder, Belief and Joy!
