EYFS Sponsored Walk

24th January 2024Amanda Wallace

What a fabulous day we have had! We had our sponsored walk today to raise funds for our Expedition and so that all of our EYFS children can receive a special book at the end of our learning.

The weather was not kind to us 😔 BUT…… When do we ever let the weather get in the way of fabulous learning experiences!
We walked in the hall this morning and this afternoon we managed a few laps around our Reception and Nursery outdoor areas.

We had so much fun! A huge thank you to all the EYFS children for being absolutely amazing and another huge thank you to all of their grown ups for supporting your children and the school with our Expeditions.

You can hand in your sponsor forms with any donations to class teachers.

EYFS Sponsored Walk

17th January 2024Amanda Wallace

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

17th January 2024Amanda Wallace

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.

Nursery Family Learning

10th January 2024Elizabeth Hay

Thank so much to all who joined us this morning for Family Learning to launch our expedition ‘Who is hiding in the pages of the book?’ We had a wonderful crafty morning creating Little Red Riding Hood, decorating biscuits for Hansel and Gretel, building the 3 little pigs houses and creating a beanstalk for Jack. Well done Nursery for all of your hard work!

Nursery winter art

9th January 2024Elizabeth Hay

The children have been feeling the cold outside today and then painted cold colour pictures. We talked about how blue and white are cold colours but orange, reds and golds would make us feel warm and cosy. The work has been displayed in our creative area to celebrate winter. Check out our art next time you’re in Nursery.
