Latest News from Holbeach Primary School
1G loved using the boomwhackers in their Music lesson last week, they have become very confident using them and following the notes independently.
We had a go at some more complicated songs including the new class favourite ‘Flowers’ by Miley Cyrus!
In our last indoor PE lesson before half term, 1G enjoyed climbing, jumping and balancing on all the different equipment.
They were brave and confident, trying out alternative ways of travelling across the equipment!
We are really getting into the routine of living and working on a farm!
Today we have been keeping up with the farm jobs of feeding and looking after the animals, in particular we spent some time collecting the hay and helping to put it with the sheep and the pigs.
One group was having a great time grooming the horses while the others were training up the lambs and teaching them to walk in front of us. We helped to make some tasty burgers which we enjoyed for dinner, and checked the weight of the pigs again.
Some children spent some time collecting bugs and insects and then using microscopes to look at them up close.
We enjoyed looking in the craft room and choosing some arts and crafts to enjoy in the farmhouse garden. And in the evening we had a storytelling session and listened to some entertaining tales.
We don’t want to leave, but at the same time we are looking forward to seeing our families again tomorrow. We’ve got so much to tell you!

After the holiday we will be doing some more close observational drawings in Art.
During the holiday have a go at drawing some fruit, choose a piece of fruit you have at home and look at it closely. Look at the colour and the shape. Have a go at drawing it on a piece of paper, then add colour!
We would love to see any drawings that you do, please bring them in to show us!
During the holiday remember to:
Have a happy half term holiday! See you all back at school on Monday 5th June 🙂
We’ve been busy little bees today! All of the children visited the beehive to see the honeybees, some even managed to spot the queen bee!
Both groups also did some birdwatching and spotted a range of different birds. We visited the hide to look at some of the feeders and looked out across the river Severn to see some other varieties.
The children have had to help out with the farm waste and put it into the composter, before going to visit the cows being milked.
Some other lucky children have been training the lambs! They had to show them how to follow instructions and groom them.
We also had some fun encounters when weighing the pigs. They weren’t too keen to get into the scales and needed a lot of coaxing.
