  • Saturday 20 July 2024 Honeybees Friday 19th July We can't quite believe we are nearing the end of another school year. What a privilege it has been to watch all of our amazing Honeybees grow and develop in so many ways over this last year! We couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them!
  • Friday 19 July 2024 End of the year for Leopard Class! Wow! This year has flown by! I am so proud of all of the children in Leopard Class. We have had an amazing year full of learning, creativity, team work and fun. It has been an absolute pleasure to see all of the children grow and continue to show their hard-work and positivity throughout the year. To end the last full week of term with a treat of ice pops, music and a water fight was the icing on a cake. The smiles and laughter that the children displayed was infectious and of course we all ended up soaked!
  • Friday 19 July 2024 19th July 2024 We had great fun at the end of the week with our disco music, lolly and water play. There are just a few photos from this as I tended to be under attack for most of the afternoon! The children have also enjoyed reading the story 'The Pirates Next Door' and learning about pirates. Next week sees the final three days of their time in Reception. It has been lovely seeing the progress every child has made throughout the year, the smiles and laughter, along with the fun had on each school trip. Thank you for the support you have given.

  • Friday 12 July 2024 12th July 2024 A funny old week with so many off. Hopefully everybody is feeling better now and that we can have a full house again for our final full week of the year. For those that missed the New Orleans Band, I have added a couple of videos. For all those that were present, it was a great experience and enjoyed by all.
  • Friday 12 July 2024 Friday 12th July What a lovely week we've had - the highlight being the amazing New Orleans Band who put on an incredible performance for us all. The children were captivated by the music and were all singing and dancing along. The band introduced us to their different instruments and let us hear what they all sounded like. It was lovely to see the children enjoying themselves and to listen to them talking so animatedly about the performance afterwards.
  • Friday 12 July 2024 Cars and Concerts! Wow what a week – the highlight being the amazing New Orleans Band who joined us on Thursday in the hall. We were all treated to a musical extravaganza as the band played many songs, to which we could clap and tap along to, join in with and even dance to. From ‘The Backstreet Boys’ to ‘Oh When the Saints go marching in’ and many numbers in between. The children thoroughly enjoyed every moment, calling for an encore.

  • Thursday 11 July 2024 Amazing Band performance and Awesome car testing What a fun day we have had in Panda class. On Thursday we were so fortunate to experience the wonderful music performed by the New Orleans Band who's music was inspiring, fun and uplifting. It was so lovely to see the pure enjoyment on the children's faces as they sang, clapped and danced along to the fantastic musicians. They children were captivated by the Tuba, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and drum and returned to the classroom inspired and full of enthusiasm. It was great to see.
  • Thursday 11 July 2024 Zebra Music This week we were luck to have a band come and visit us. They played music using their instruments and we were able to clap along to the beat of the song.

  • Tuesday 9 July 2024 Honeybees Friday 5th July We have had a fun filled week in Honeybee Class packed full of wonderful interaction, play and spicy sandwiches.
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Friday 5th July 2024 What a busy week for the Wallabies! This week in English the children have enjoyed listening to the story ‘The lighthouse keepers lunch’ and writing instructions on how to make a sandwich. They have designed and made their own sandwiches in the role play sandwich shop, ordered a set of instructions before writing them, creating a picnic for the lighthouse keeper, building cages in the construction area to trap the pesky seagull’s, drawing boats and lighthouses on the ipads and making their own lighthouses. Children even had the chance to make their own sandwiches following their instructions!
  • Friday 5 July 2024 5th July 2024 This week we have enjoyed reading 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch'., making our own delicious sandwiches and keeping an eye out for those pesky seagulls! The children have been counting to 100 in our maths sessions, building models with friends, making sea creatures and also some textured seaside art. On Thursday the children had their own vote for some end of term treats with them being very excited when Mrs Budge read out the results in assembly on Friday.
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Cars and Voting for Leopard Class! In our DT lessons this week, we made our cars. First the children selected the type of wheels they wanted to use and secured them on their axle with washers. Then, the children added different features to their cars. On Wednesday, the children added colour using paint and our last lesson was all about the final details, e.g. license plate, windscreen wipers, door etc. Some children even added seats inside their car!
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Cars and Construction! There was lots happening in class and across the school this week; transition visits for Year 2, an election and a visit from Westbury Library!
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Friday 5th July This week we have been busy designing and making our own moving cars. First we had to draw and label our designs and then we had to assemble our cars. It was tricky attaching the axle to the chassis but with a little resilience we all succeeded! Once we had built our cars, we then set about painting them. We had to look back at our designs to ensure that they were the same. Next week we will add the finishing touches such as doors, windows, number plates and windscreen wipers. We can't wait to share our finished products with you!
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Constructing Cars and Persuasive Letters This week, the children had great fun constructing their cars. They had to choose wheels and make sure they fitted on the axles properly. The children then had great fun attaching doors and windows using pivot and hinge joins. They have really enjoyed their DT topic on cars this term.
  • Friday 5 July 2024 Friday 5th July 2024 Kangaroos have had a very busy week inspired by the story, 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch.' The children enjoyed listening to the story and talking about the different ways they might stop the seagulls from pinching Mr Grinling's lunch. We were surprised to discover that mustard sandwiches would keep them away. We thought it would be a good idea to make sandwiches so at the beginning of the week we wrote instructions and at the end of the week we followed these to make a sandwich.
