Class 4: Counting Collection.

Class 4 had a fantastic time in their second Counting Collection session! Right from the start, the children impressed us by confidently recalling our class norms and the key steps needed to be successful.

It was a beautiful session full of curiosity and creativity. Each child explored their own counting collection box, carefully examining the items inside. They worked thoughtfully to represent the numbers in a variety of ways—showing not just their growing mathematical skills, but also their ability to think flexibly and explain their ideas.

We are so proud of the enthusiasm and focus Class 4 brought to this activity. Their excitement for learning truly shone through, and we can’t wait to see how their counting skills continue to grow in future sessions!

Nursery: book & a biscuit/ toy sale event!

On Wednesday 1st October Nursery will be opening the doors from 8.30 – 9.30am for our family book and a biscuit event. All family members are welcome to come and share a story with their nursery child.

We will also be hosting a used toy and book sale to raise money for nursery resources.

We hope as many of you can make it as possible to support the nursery children continue developing a love of reading.

Reception: Community Crew 15th September

Another wonderful Community Crew session this week! It was fantastic to see the children singing so beautifully together in the hall – such a lovely moment of unity and joy.

The children have also started giving shout-outs to their crew members, celebrating those who have been showing fantastic HOWLs (Habits of Work and Learning) throughout the week. It’s been heartwarming to see their support and encouragement for one another.

A big well done to Oliver and Ella, our HOWL point winners this week! They’ve consistently demonstrated kindness, worked hard, and shown a real commitment to getting smart, a brilliant effort from both of you.

Thank you also to Halle who brought in some of her work from home, where she had written a beautiful list of what to pack in her school bag. It was lovely and clear you had worked so hard at home.

And finally, a huge congratulations to Clementine, who has been named Crew Wallace’s Crew Champion and Phoebe, who has been named Crew Jones’ Crew Champion this week. Well done, girls a truly well-deserved recognition!

Nursery: Out of school achievements!

Dear all Nursery parents and carers,

We would love to hear about your child’s out of school achievements!

If your child has learnt to ride a bike, awarded for swimming successes, dress themselves independently, score a goal, have the confidence to dance in a show… whatever it may be, please share it with us so we can celebrate your child in school.

Any photos of these achievements would be greatly appreciated for our display in our cloakroom.

Many thanks,

Mrs Hay & Mrs Burton

Extended Study – National Recycling Week!

Next week, the week commencing 22nd September, it is National Recycling Week.

To celebrate this, we need the help of our budding artists to design some recycling posters that we can have made into stickers for recycling bins around our school! Have a look below so for fab examples!

We have been working really hard as stewards to begin our recycling journey and we would like to keep improving by having some of your beautiful artwork linking to recycling.

You have until Friday 26th September to bring your artwork in to your Crew Leaders. Crew councillors will then bring them to our meeting where we will decide on the winning design!

We can’t see what you come up with!

A STEM visit from Drax

Year 4 had a fantastic time working with our visitors from Drax Power Station. The children were buzzing with excitement as they explored the science of forces in a hands-on and practical way.

One of the highlights of the session was constructing their very own cars. With teamwork, creativity, and plenty of determination, the children carefully built their designs before putting them to the test.

This was a brilliant opportunity for the children to link their classroom learning to the real world and to see how science and engineering are used in everyday life. We are so grateful to our visitors from Drax for making the session fun, interactive, and memorable.
