Welcome to Rabbits Class 2023-2024

Welcome to Rabbits Class!

Rabbits class is a Year R classroom and our teacher is Miss Harvey with Mrs Thomas being our teaching assistant. We are very lucky in Year R to have an outdoor learning space as well as our classroom for our discovery time. We have time to choose our own activities as well as having guided tasks with the adults. Throughout the week we also complete two guided writing and Maths jobs.

In Rabbits we link our learning to our learning values to develop ourselves to be independent, resilient, creative and a fantastic team player!

Rabbits took a dive under the sea this week! We read the book 'The Sea Saw' and discussed the journey the lost bear went on to find his way home. We explored the sea and different sea animals, using our imagination to create sea creature crafts!

It’s been a lovely first week back in Rabbits. We have been very creative during Music this week. We explored pitch making high and low sounds on the xylophone. We discussed how the shorter bars on the xylophone are higher sounds and the longer bars are lower sounds.

A wonderful week celebrating Easter in Rabbits. We were very creative, using our imagination to create an Easter bonnet at home for the Easter bonnet parade. We loved showing all our grown ups our amazing Easter hats!

Rabbits have been very resilient in their Maths learning this week. We have been self-confident when learning about arrangements to 10 and number bonds to 10 using 3 parts. We were very resourceful by using different mathematical resources to aid our learning.

We have been great scientists this week in Rabbits. We have been discussing what a habitat is and have been using our problem solving skills to discuss what animals live in each habitat. Rabbits have also been thinking outside the box this week when creating a junk model boat for the boy and penguin in our focus book 'Lost and Found'.

We had a visit from the pantomime this week where they performed ‘Cinderella’. It was a very exciting story with lots of funny jokes and dancing too! We have also explored habitats this week and built an igloo for the polar bear to live in!

What a great first week back in Rabbits class. We were great gymnasts in P.E where we kept on trying to hold lots of different positions for as long as possible. We also explored our new book 'Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you hear?' and used different instruments to make all the animal noises.
