News Whitehorse Manor Infant School

Our schools and pupils have coped very well with the recent hot weather, which looks set to continue for the rest of this week. 

Last week in Nursery we started our new book ‘The River’ by Patricia Hegarty which tells us all about the epic journey of a fish to the sea.

This week Year 2 have become habitat detectives. We have found out what a habitat is and that there are different types of habitat.

In literacy these last two week we used Jack and the Beanstalk as part of our learning.

Over the last few weeks Year 2 have been learning how to tell the time in maths.

On Tuesday Year 2 had the most wonderful seaside holidays in the past drama workshops.

This week in Nursery we have been reading the story book ‘The Big Red Bus’ by Judy Hindley.

Year 1 have been exploring the “whys” of African tales through Tinga Tinga Tales.

Year 2 have immersed themselves in Ted Hughes’s book ‘The Iron Man’ since their return from the Easter break.

It was lovely to see all the children again and hear all about what they have been doing during the Easter break.

In Reception this week we used the story of Little Red Riding Hood to help children learn new words and enjoy reading.

In literacy we celebrated Easter and focused on developing our reading and writing skills through fun activities.

In literacy we have been looking for signs of spring and reading the story of “Clean Up”.

Last week in nursery the children were busy learning all about the lifecycle of a frog with the help of our supporting story book ‘The Teeny Weeny Tadpole.’

Next Thursday the 26th March is World Maths Day and here at Pegasus we will be celebrating in style!
