Monday 15 December 2025 Honeybees Friday 12th December What a wonderful week we've had in Honeybee Class! We kicked things off with a wintry tale, Stick Man by Julia Donaldson. The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story and enthusiastically joined in with the repeated phrases. After reading the story regularly, they used their developing reading skills to find characters and key items within the illustrations, sequence the events of the story, and create their own pictures of Stick Man and his family.

Friday 12 December 2025 Praiseworthy Performing Pandas! Each week seems to get busier and busier as we speed towards Christmas as breakneck pace! The children are definitely getting excited for Christmas and have had lots of fun learning all of our Christmas songs, words and poems. We had a lovely time at our Christmas service, singing songs, listening to the Christmas story and learning poems and we were really pleased to be able to share it with so many of you. SO thank you for coming, it means so much to the children to share it with you. Our Christmas dress rehearsal went well today and hopefully will be even better by the time we perform it to you all next week. It was lovely having some of the junior children and reception classes in to see it and helped encourage the children through their smiles and supportive clapping.

Friday 12 December 2025 Friday 12th December 2025 The children have had a wonderful time taking part in some exciting Message Centre activities over the past week. After enjoying the story The Jolly Christmas Postman, they decided they wanted to create their own mail for the Jolly Postman and eagerly set to work making cards and messages. Later in the week, we shared the story Dear Santa, which led to a very special surprise—a mysterious parcel delivered straight to our classroom! The children had great fun guessing what might be inside, sharing lots of imaginative ideas. There were big smiles all around when we discovered it was a brand-new postbox for the class, perfect for sending messages to friends and encouraging even more lovely mark-making and early writing. It's been a joyful, festive start to our learning!

Friday 5 December 2025 5th December 2025 Christmas preparations are now in full swing! On Monday we started learning the songs for our performance of Wriggly Nativity and also had an elf arrive to our class. The children suggested some interesting names for the elf and ended up voting to call our elf Jingles. The children have received a letter from Jingles each day and some have really shown some excellent examples of kindness. In our maths sessions, Koala class have been actively engaged with finding the parts of whole amounts. They have also thought about how to use different shapes to build up pictures. Our main story was The Gruffalo's Child, learning new vocabulary and talking about when the children had been brave. It was also great sharing birthday traditions and special treats. Thank you to those that sent in photos. We finished the week with a live musical performance, enjoyed by all!

Tuesday 2 December 2025 Pandas 5th December This Week we have been reading the Emperors egg. We have been acting like penguins to help us think about the imperative verbs we could use to tell Edward, the expectant dad penguin how to look after his egg and the well being of his chick. The children had great fun sliding across the tables like penguins, waddling around with an egg between our legs and huddling together to keep warm.

Monday 1 December 2025 Honeybee Class Friday 28th November 2025 This week, Honeybee Class was immersed in a magical winter wonderland through a sensory story based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar's First Winter by Eric Carle. The children explored soft snow, cold ice, tasted fresh blueberries, smelled the scent of Christmas trees, and even felt the winter wind blow! They showed fantastic listening skills and wonderful enthusiasm as they joined in with the story.

The story was used as an introduction to our 'Message Centre' activities, where the children can up with a variety of symbols and maps to show Stickman's journey. In maths, the children have worked hard making their 'one more' booklets. They have also been counting back in ones from five. Our poem of the week was called 'rain' and in music we loved using sticks and joining in with 'sticks up high'.
