We have had a fantastic week in Reception. The children are all so settled now and I have been so impressed with how well they work in our classroom We enjoyed sharing photos of our holidays and days out. The children each spoke to their friends about their photos. We had lots of fun choosing items from a suitcase to take on different types of adventures, such as visiting a very cold place or going on a sunny summer holiday.We have been building our finger and hand strength this week too by making beautiful sequin pictures and stretching elastics over cotton reels using only the fingers in our 3 friends hold that we use for handwriting.Our story of the week was Mr Gumpy’s Outing and the children did an amazing job of retelling it using props. ...

What a fabulous week we have had in Year Two! On Tuesday, we did forest school, learnt about survival and created flower festival arrangements. In science we have been learning about our need for food, shelter, water and oxygen so we made shelters and learnt how to filter water in our forest school area. On Wednesday, we took part in a Curling Sports festival where we used control and accuracy to score points. Then on Thursday we had our annual farm visit. We learnt about the story of wool, how wheat is ground up to make flour for baking, sat in a tractor and learnt about horsepower and finally we were able to choose our very own perfect pumpkin to bring home. Our behaviour was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the different experiences. ...
