Easter Celebrations in Year 1 and Year 2

This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children have been busy enjoying a range of wonderful Easter celebrations!

One of the highlights of the week was our Easter Bonnet Parade. The children proudly wore their beautifully crafted bonnets—complete with flowers, chicks, ribbons, and lots of sparkles—and showed them off in a joyful parade. It was fantastic to see their imaginations shine, and the smiles on their faces were priceless!

We also enjoyed a special Easter service at the church, where the children joined together in song, reflection, and celebration. Their behaviour was exemplary, and they listened carefully as we learned about the meaning of Easter and the importance of kindness and new beginnings.

It has been a truly lovely week filled with creativity, community, and celebration. Well done to all our Year 1 and Year 2 children for their enthusiasm and hard work!

We wish all our families a happy and peaceful Easter. 🐣🌷

Year 1 & 2 Enjoy NFU Science Week Live Lesson

Our Year 1 and Year 2 children took part in the NFU Science Farm LIVE: The BIG Farming QUESTion as part of British Science Week 2026. The session explored exciting farming questions such as how farmers care for animals and the wildlife on their farms, all linked to this year’s theme of curiosity.

The live lesson helped bring real‑world science to life, inspiring pupils’ enthusiasm for STEM learning through engaging, curriculum‑aligned activities.

2S Final Forest School Session!

What a wonderful way to end our Forest School journey! For our final session, we spent time reflecting on finding joy in nature. The children were set a special challenge: to quietly observe and discover three things that bring them joy in our Forest School. The answers were as beautiful as the setting itself — from the sound of birds singing, to blossom on the tree, to the tiny details of minibeasts hiding beneath logs. It was a lovely reminder of how much happiness nature can bring when we slow down and truly notice it.

With it being our last session, we also enjoyed using tools to create wonderful wooden projects — from imaginative cars to brilliant “log dogs”! The creativity and teamwork on display were incredible. The children demonstrated growing confidence, resilience and pride in their designs.

Of course, there was plenty of time for child-led exploration too — mud kitchen masterpieces were whipped up, deep digging took place in the mud pit, and some impressive dens were constructed

.

It has been such a joy to watch Year 2 grow in confidence, independence and curiosity over our Forest School sessions. Their imagination, kindness and adventurous spirit have truly shone through.

Year 1 & 2 DT Launch: Can I Make a Puppet to Fit My Hand?

This week our Year 1 and 2 children began their new Design and Technology unit, exploring the question “Can I make a puppet to fit my hand?”

The children learned about the purpose of puppets and who uses them, before investigating a range of puppet types, including stick, finger, hand, marionette and rod puppets. They discussed the materials each one is made from and how they are controlled.

To finish, the children enjoyed watching a Punch and Judy show, discovering how popular this form of puppet entertainment was in the past.

This engaging start has sparked lots of curiosity, and the children are already full of ideas for their own puppet creations. We can’t wait to see what they design and make over the coming weeks!
