EYFS Sponsored Walk

Just a reminder that on Wednesday 24th January EYFS will be undertaking a sponsored walk to raise funds so that all of our EYFS children can receive a Traditional Tale as part of our product for our Spring Expedition, Once Upon a Time: Who is hiding in the pages of the book ?


We ask that the children come to school on this day dressed in costume as their favourite book character, they will do the walk in their costume so we can celebrate Reading and to promote reading for pleasure. This does not have to be a bought costume it can be anything that represents this for your child.

We will be completing the walk during our school day and on this occasion grown ups won’t attend but we will be sure to take lots of photographs so that you can share in all of the fun that I am sure we will have.

Sponsor forms will be handed out by your child’s class teacher and we ask that these are returned with any sponsor contributions are returned to your child’s class by Friday 2nd February.

Thanks in advance for your continued support.

Reception Family Learning

Today we had a fabulous family learning for our Reception children. Our Spring Expedition, Once upon a Time: Who is hiding in the pages of the book ? is focussed on Traditional Tales and the exploration of these as well as all things reading.

We had some activities linked to our Key Texts that the children and their grown ups engaged with fully.

A huge thank you as always to our fabulous grown ups who continue to support us by attending these events at school.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Wow! What a gorgeous day we have had performing ‘A King is Born’. Thank you to all parents, carers, relatives and friends who joined us and for supporting with creating and buying wonderful costumes. We are immensely proud of the children for their confidence with dressing up, singing and performing for such a large crowd! Thank you again for your wonderful support and we wish you all a happy Christmas!

EYFS Celebration of Learning

We had an amazing Celebration of Learning in EYFS this afternoon. We would like to thank everyone for coming and showing their support, it was much appreciated.

We hope you enjoyed taking part in the learning activities that were available and that the children could talk confidently about their Expeditionary Learning.

Our boards, that we are really proud of are located in the Reception outdoor area, The XP outdoors area which is on our school field and Thorne Library. If you scan the QR code that is on the board you will be taken to a folder containing all of the Beautiful work that the children created.

Thanks again for a fabulous term and for supporting your children with their learning.

EYFS PANTO!

Wow wow wow! What an amazing morning we’ve had with Chloe and Charlie from STAG-ED who came to perform the pantomime Cinderella. We had so much fun, laughter and songs. The children absolutely loved it. What a treat for a drizzly Monday morning!
The cast even sang our birthday girl, Isabella ‘Happy birthday’.
A huge thank you to the Green Top Friends committee who paid for us to have this wonderfully festive treat.
