The Ash Tree Road entrance will be open from 1.45 pm for grown-ups to get refreshments before the children come through. Children will then come to the hall to share their learning with you. The children cannot wait for you to see all their hard work!

Please can children come to school in their smart/party clothes.

Bonfire night activities in Nursery

5th November 2024Elizabeth Hay

The children have spent yesterday and this morning talking about and exploring Bonfire Night. We have played instruments listened to the sounds they make to mimic the sound of a firework. We have talked about what fireworks look like. The children thought of excellent words to describe the appearance and sounds.

“Whoosh, bang, pop, sparkle, loud, high, bright, big, hot, huge, fizz, crackle”

We have painted fireworks in the night sky, crafted tissue paper sparklers and built/painted bonfires and danced with scarves to Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’.

The children finished off the morning by talking about how we can stay safe on bonfire night. I was so proud of how well the children retained information and were able to listen carefully to each other.

I hope you have a wonderful and safe bonfire night tonight.

EYFS Autumn Disco

4th November 2024Elizabeth Hay

The children had a wonderful time during the last week of half term at the Autumn disco. Lots of fun, sweets, awesome dance moves, laughter and hot dogs. What more could we want? Mr Kershaw and I also enjoyed having a boogie to ‘Time Warp’ which so many of the children were excellent at too!

EYFS visited the children’s hospital!

16th October 2024Elizabeth Hay

As part of our expedition learning we were invited into DRI to see Katie the Matron and the wonderful work and environment the staff there provide for their patients. Vincent and Elodie represented the school and I am so proud of them for their excellent behaviour and awesome thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the children’s ward. Elodie thought more princesses and phonics sounds were needed and Vincent wanted to see more superhero’s and dinosaurs. Great suggestions guys!
We are looking forward to being able to donate the money raised this term to the children’s ward in developing their much needed parents room.

Nursery – Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

14th October 2024Elizabeth Hay

Last week, the children loved learning about Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We read the story, talked about the characters and their actions and then enjoyed lots of 3 bear themed provision. We were making bears with play dough, sensory playing using oats, role playing the story, following instructions to bake baby bear shaped bread and painting the characters from the story.

Awesome work Nursery Crew!
