2025-2026

Bonfire Night 

To celebrate Bonfire Night we made breadstick sparklers using breadsticks, chocolate and sprinkles. The children enjoyed decorating their sparklers and then taste testing them at snack time. 

Autumn Welly Walk 

Over the past few weeks we have been focussing on Autumn as our topic. We have learnt all about the signs of Autumn including what happens to the trees and all about hibernation. We've talked about changes in the weather and how it is becoming darker in the mornings and evenings. To wrap up this topic we enjoyed going on a welly walk around the school to look for signs of Autumn. We looked for different coloured leaves, acorns, seeds and even tried to spot a squirrel. We've recently had one of the big trees on the field cut down and the logs were still there so we had abit of fun climbing and jumping whilst Miss Jackson took some fun pictures of us making shapes in the air. 

 

European Day of Languages

We had fun in class learning all about France during European Day of Languages. We learnt about where France was and what the weather was like. We also learnt how to say hello and goodbye in French. We took part in some fun French themed activities and finished the day off by enjoying some French food along with Year One. 

Dot Day

The children enjoyed being part of Dot Day this year. They had fun exploring a variety of dot themed activities, and we worked together to create a collaborative piece using the book 'The Dot' by Peter H Reynolds as inspiration. 

Our First Weeks 

The children in Minnow Class have settled into school beautifully. They have enjoyed exploring both the indoor and outdoor classroom and experiencing all of the activities that have been on offer. They have had a great time playing with their friends and making new ones.
