2B Forest School

This week at Forest School year 1/2B got hands-on with woodwork!

Using a bow saw and drill, the children cut their own pieces of wood to create some incredible projects.

From fairy chairs and log dogs to wooden spinners and necklaces, their creativity knew no bounds!

It was amazing to see their imaginations come to life while developing new skills and growing in confidence.

Forest School is all about exploring, learning, and having fun outdoors – and they did just that!

The Great Fire of London

History

‘The Great Fire of London!’ – Our new topic for this half term

The children in Year 1 and 2 have started to explore timber houses and structures that were in London in 1666. As the weeks go on, the children will learn more about the catastrophic event that erupted on the 2nd of September 1666, in a small bakery on Pudding Lane, situated near London Bridge. They will explore the suitability of materials and their resistance to fire and make a product that has a door hinge incorporated within it. They will evaluate the suitability of these and we hope to invite the fire service in to demonstrate and discuss the risk of, and the speed that fire can spread across buildings!

World Book Day 2025

 

 

To mark World Book Day on Thursday, March 6th this year, we aim to celebrate reading, which is always at the forefront of our curriculum, with an exciting range of events designed to inspire our students to read for pleasure. Our goal is to spark a genuine love for reading by encouraging every child to discover new titles and explore different genres.

Throughout the day, each class will engage in various reading-related activities, offering plenty of opportunities for students to enjoy stories in fresh and fun ways.

As always, there is no expectation to spend money! We will be hosting a Book Swap Station where children can bring in one book they no longer need and exchange it for one they have never read before. To take part, all we ask is that the book your child brings is in good condition and free from any markings or writing. This is a fantastic chance for students to refresh their bookshelf and enjoy a new adventure in reading!

For more details, be sure to check out our website and Facebook posts for updates on our World Book Day events. Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate the magic of reading together.

Good Health Week 2025

Key Stage One

Year 1 and 2 have taken part in a range of activities for our Good Health Week. We have been lucky enough to have some visitors who have spoken to us about how to keep ourselves safe and the jobs that they do, to keep others safe. We have also discussed how to stay fit and healthy and taken part in some DT, where we made our own healthy sandwiches, and enjoyed eating them too!

We have had talks from:

Nurses, a Midwife, an Occupational Therapist, RNLI and a Mental Health Practitioner.

Year 1 and 2 Trip to Cadbury World

History

In November the children visited Cadbury World to discover all about the history of Bourneville. Cadbury World offered an immersive experience into the delightful world of chocolate, showcasing the rich history and craftsmanship behind Cadbury’s iconic products. The children explored interactive exhibits, enjoyed a tour, and indulged in chocolate-making demonstrations, all while learning about the brand’s heritage and commitment to quality. Cadbury World features a variety of themed areas, including a 4D cinema experience and a Victorian workshop, which ensured a fun and educational outing for the children and chocolate enthusiasts alike.

The children particularly enjoyed creating their names in chocolate, dressing up as Victorians and interactively collecting milk, cocoa beans and sugar to create large bars of chocolate!
