It’s fair to say that baseball was a hit with Year 1 and 2 during our American day. I was so impressed with the skill showed and how accurate their shots were. We practiced our hitting and there were some definite home runs! Well done Year 1 and 2!
Class 7 were lucky to have some Year 5s read us a very funny story during our reading week! 🙂
The children are having a lovely day in Nursery having a teddy bears picnic and explaining why their teddies are special to them. Mrs Hay and Mrs Burton even brought and talked about their very old teddies too!
We have been embracing everything reading this week to celebrate Reading Week. Yesterday we enjoyed visits from the school council to read us a story and Mrs Shaw came to read to us too!! We have been so lucky!
We have also been trying lots of reading activities in our classroom provision this week and we have enjoyed reading our Expedition text ‘The smartest giant in town.’
We have lots more things to do to celebrate our Reading and we can’t wait for our Pyjama day tomorrow.
Don’t forget to bring your stories to share with your friends.

We were so lucky that we had some older children from further up school come to read us some stories in our classroom.
We had so much fun listening and thought that the girls were very brave to come and read to a whole class of children.
Well done everyone, we really enjoyed it

This week, as part of reading week, Year 2 visited the library and braved the weather to have a good read. We loved being able to draw on book trees, read with our friends and listen to a good story. Some of us even helped library staff by keeping shelves tidy and scanning books. We loved our trip to the library and can’t wait to go again!
This week in phonics we will be looking at the nursery rhyme ‘Twinkle twinkle’. The children will be singing the nursery rhyme, listening for rhyming words and clapping out syllables in the words such as s-k-y and s-t-ar.
I wonder – can you practise this rhyme with your child at home and listed for the rhyming words throughout?
The children have been working hard to represent numbers to 10 in different ways. The children have been working hard to practise their counting skills with objects.
I wonder… Can you practise counting objects at home? E.g 10 cars, 10 leaves, 10 sticks… take a photo and send it in to [email protected]

The nursery children enjoyed reading the story Dogger. Some children chose to draw the main character and talk about why he was special in the story. Other children chose to reenact the toy stall scene in the book using the role play toys.
Awesome work Nursery Crew! It is wonderful to see you linking the stories we have read to your play.
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!
