Last week the children enjoyed reading our expedition story ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes. The children used play dough to create the main character ‘Dogger’, we practised our cutting/ scissor skills, mark made in shaving foam (this was a really fun way to write!) and we sang nursery rhymes and played parachute games. What a fun week we had!
Today, Class 7, we have been learning about religion. We have learnt what religion is, as well as the 6 main religions. We then wanted to celebrate faith day by creating posters around religion!
On Wednesday 2nd October 2024 in Reception we will be having a book, pyjama and storytelling day. the children can come dressed to school in their Pyjamas and bring in a book from home. We will spend time during the day sharing and enjoying our stories together.
We can’t wait!! We look forward to the day.

Today, Year 2 had a special expert visitor Martin Lamb. Martin spoke to Year 2 about castles and how they were made. He even brought in bricks to let us ‘destroy’ William the Conqueror’s castle. Amongst the ‘destruction’, we learnt many new facts. These included the fact that round castles were harder to siege. We even learned about new weapons such as catapults. All in all, it is fair to say Year 2 loved their expert visitor.
Food safety advice for children age 5 and under – When sending your child with a packed lunch, please cut small round foods, like grapes, strawberries and cherry tomatoes, lengthways and into quarters. Cut large fruits like melon, and hard fruit or vegetables like raw apple and carrot into slices instead of small chunks.
Many thanks for your support.

This week in phonics Nursery will be singing the nursery rhyme ‘Old McDonald’ and listening for animal sounds to match to the farm animal.
Listening games will be the focus for next few weeks before we begin phase 2 phonics sounds.
Wow! What a super poppy you have created at arts and crafts club today! We can see how proud of it you are, as is Mrs Leggott and I! Keep up the great work 🙂
Today was eBook day, so Class 7 chose two books to read online. We loved hearing about Harold the Cat and Muffin the Kittens adventures!
Today, Class 7 have been learning about William the Conqueror. He invaded Britain in 1066 and fought in the Battle of Hastings. We learned about the battle through the Bayeux Tapestry. So, what better way to understand it more than to create our own version?
