Crew Knowles – Transition

We’ve had a lovely today thinking about enrichment, the Zones of Regulation and maths stories! Here we are thinking about the Zones of Regulation and thinking about which emotion matches which zone. Great work everyone – I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Class 6 and Paddington’s Picnic

We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday celebrating the end of our wonderful expedition; North, South, East, West. Where could your journey take you? We invited parents and carers to join us for a picnic with Paddington and sat in the lovely sunshine enjoying the sandwiches we had made.

Thanks as always to everyone who came along and made our Celebration of Learning a success!

Class 6 transition day 1

Wow! We have had such a wonderful first transition day. The children have settled beautifully into their new setting and we have worked really hard as well as having lots of fun. We played crew-building games, designed zones of regulation characters and made a video, drew doodles for our new graffiti wall, completed jigsaws, built towers and got to know our new class mascot, Juicy. We danced, we sang, we had the best time!

Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow. See you in the morning, Superstars!

Class 4 Transition day 1!

Our EYFS children had a beautiful first transition day, filled with confidence, smiles, and a sense of adventure. They embraced their new environment with excitement, trying lots of new activities and exploring every corner of their learning space. The day was themed around Belonging and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, inspiring creative play, storytelling, and curiosity. Outside, the fun continued with sand and water play, exploring the den and camping area, and enjoying lively dining and music sessions with Mr. Pickles. It was a joyful, sun-filled start to their journey, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Join your child to read!

Class 12 – working together to edit their poems

We have worked hard to write our poems and get to the end. The children have been working on writing their own performance piece of poetry these last couple of weeks. Understanding that rhythm, rhyme, verbs, similes and onomatopoeic words play a large part in a good performance poem.

We might not get to the official write up but they have done a wonderful job in a short time producing some lovely poetry based on an erupting volcano.

Here they are giving each other that last helping hand and sharing their efforts with a friend.

Class 12 – wonderful performers

On Monday morning, we all got invited to watch the end of year performance of the Wizard of Oz in the school hall which was absolutely amazing! We had 4 wonderful children in our class take part in the show and another who played her guitar too. We all agreed how fabulous they were and that we were very proud of the performance they gave. And that our budding actors had work so hard doing 4 amazing shows in 3 days! Well done you super stars!

Enjoy your treats.
