  • Sunday 21 April 2024 Honeybees Friday 19th April 2024 Welcome back! We hope everybody had a fun filled break. We have had a wonderful first week back in Honeybees Class with the children settling back into school life well.
  • Friday 19 April 2024 19th April 2024 Welcome back! During Term 5, the children will be learning all about 'Amazing Animals'. We have been reading the story 'What the Ladybird Heard', whilst in PSED we looked at the story 'Rosie Revere, Engineer'. This was about a girl who found things challenging, so felt like giving up. With words of encouragement, she didn't and it has been lovely to see the children taking this on board to encourage their friends when they have been taking on challenges. The children have also been delving into the 'Poetry Basket', learning a poem about pigs!
  • Friday 19 April 2024 New term and new topic for Leopards! Wow, we are in term 5 already!
  • Friday 19 April 2024 Friday 19th April 2024 It was so lovely to welcome back the children this week! It was nice hearing how everyone had spent their break. This week we started our topic of Amazing animals and the children put their learning from the school trip to good use when we discussed farms. In our topic lessons we learned about different types of farm arable and pastural. We thought about the animals that would live on a pastural farm and the types of crops that would be grown on an arable farm. In the children's play they have enjoyed creating farms and talking about the needs of the different animals.
  • Friday 19 April 2024 Meerkats and Kenya! It is hard to believe that we are in Term 5 already and our first week is done! The children have all returned full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement. And my, how they have grown – we have even had to move our carpet dots to give the children more space when on the carpet!

  • Thursday 28 March 2024 Thursday 28th March 2024 Dear Parents/Carers,
  • Thursday 28 March 2024 Thursday 28th March What a busy week! Thank you to all the parents who came along to the parent celebration event on Monday - it was lovely to see the children so enthusiastic about making their flowers with you all.
  • Thursday 28 March 2024 Supportability and Scootability Panda class have had a very busy final week of term, creating flowers with their grownups at our parent event on Monday. Thank you so much to all of the parents who were able to give up their time to support the children's learning. It was a lovely relaxed afternoon where the children had lots of fun and were able to consolidate their learning about plants through discussions and careful reflection. During the Easter holidays why not try getting out in the garden and planting some seeds - either from a packet or after drying them from a piece of fruit or vegetable. I wonder which will grow the quickest?
  • Thursday 28 March 2024 Easter and Scooters! Wow! What a week! The end of term is here already. Thank you to everyone who came to the parent event on Monday. The flowers were a huge success and it is wonderful to celebrate all of the fantastic learning that you are so supportive with.
  • Wednesday 27 March 2024 Happy Easter Zebras Thank you to all the parents that came to our parent event at the start of the week. The children always love sharing what they have been learning about and having time with you in their classroom. We hope you found the phonic session useful and enjoyed making some flowers with your children.
  • Sunday 24 March 2024 Honeybees Friday 22nd March This week in Honeybee Class we have been focusing really closely on what it means to be a good friend. The children have spent lots of time in small groups, or with a pair improving their sharing skills, turn taking and playing cooperatively. The children enjoyed working together to collect and transport water to different areas outside, shared equipment to improve their fine motor skills, played ball games and board games and had great fun in Bucket sessions waiting their turn to splat flowers and hide under blankets. They have played beautifully together with a range of toys which has been just wonderful to watch. We are really proud of the kindness we are seeing as they start to help each other and work as a team, well done Honeybees!
  • Friday 22 March 2024 22nd March 2024 Another week flies by and the children are already looking forward to Easter. It was lovely to see so many parents during the week and for all the lovely comments. We have a parent event this coming Wednesday which will have a phonics focus. Hope to see you then!

  • Friday 22 March 2024 Friday 22nd March 2024 Dear Parents/Carers,
  • Friday 22 March 2024 Friday 22nd March This week in Bumblebee class, we have been learning the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and have planned our own sequels to the story. We were introduced to Rosie Red at the beginning of the week and she has now become the main character in our sequels. We wrote character descriptions about her and thought about how she might help the Three Bears following their visit from Goldilocks. We look forward to writing our own stories next week and hope to share them with you next week.
