This week started off with Odd Sock Day to highlight that, although everyone is different, we can all live and play together harmoniously. We then moved on to Road Safety with the children going out and using the road markings on the yard to learn about crossing the road safely. We did emphasize tha

Today, we marked the start of Anti-Bullying week by wearing odd socks to school.  Odd Sock day is a day when schools, workplaces, and individuals join together to show that it’s okay to be different and to stand up against bullying and discrimination.  Odd Socks day is designed to be fun!  It

This week, we have been really enjoying hearing all about the adventures which the children got up to during the holidays. One of the highlights was, of course, Bonfire Night so we made firework pictures, firework sticks and edible sparklers! We have now got a dark tent to help with our investigatio

This week, we have been getting scary! We scooped out the slimy innards of our pumpkins and then carved faces into them. We then chopped up vegetables to make pumpkin soup. Some children thought it was delicious and asked for more but others were not so sure. We read ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Don

This week, we have read the story ‘The Little Red Hen’ and then made our own bread rolls just like the hen did. We ate them at snack time on Wednesday and they were delicious! The children also enjoyed acting out the story using the character masks. Article 31: We have the right to relax and play

This week, before we headed out to the Forest School, Miss Rowe showed the children how to make sticky clay and paint from mud we dug out of the garden.  We put the mud into a tray and mixed it up, flour is added to help pull the mud together. As the moisture in the mud activates the gluten in the

The children have been back at school for a few weeks now and are all taking books home from Accelerated Reader, Read Write Inc, Class Treasure Chests or Reading Schemes. The outdoor library has re-opened and children are accessing this at breaks and dinnertimes. As the nights draw in, it is the per

Phew! We have had such a busy time but it’s been great. The children could bring their special things in to talk about and it was lovely to hear all about what they valued and why. On Tuesday, we all went hunting for conkers and we found lots, nearly two small buckets full. The children have had gre
