Year 1 Visit to Our Local Church for Christmas Activities.

Last week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at our local church, taking part in festive activities that helped them explore the true meaning of Christmas.

During their visit, the children reflected on some important themes such as joy, bravery, and welcoming. Through stories, crafts, and discussions, they considered how these values can be part of their own lives and the world around them.

The afternoon also encouraged curiosity and deep thinking. The children shared some big questions they would like to ask, such as ‘Why is it important to welcome others?’

It was a thoughtful and inspiring experience that brought learning to life in a meaningful way. A big thank you to the church community for making us feel so welcome and helping us celebrate this special season together.

Year 1 & 2 Welcome a Special Visitor.

This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed a very special visit from one of our school’s former headteachers, Mr Green. As part of their learning about the history of our school, the children had the opportunity to hear first-hand stories about how the school has changed over the years, as well as what has stayed the same.

The children were fascinated to learn about past traditions, old classrooms, and the ways teaching and learning have developed. They asked thoughtful questions and were excited to compare their experiences with those of pupils from many years ago.

We are grateful to our visitor for sharing their memories and bringing our school’s history to life. It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to deepen their understanding of the past and feel even more connected to the place they learn and grow every day.

1C and 2S Art

Within our unit of art work this half term we have been considering ‘What colours and patterns can be found in nature?’ The children started off by looking closely at the autumnal objects found and brought into school and arranging them against their chosen background. Next, the children had a go at sketching their choice of objects, including as much detail as possible. The children then created templates and used these to cut out their autumn objects from their choice of fabrics. Finally the children arranged and fixed their objects on a hessian background as well as adding a range of embellishments to reflect the patterns found in nature.

1/2B Final Forest School!

What a brilliant final Forest School session for class 1/2B.

Despite the cold, chilly weather, the children were full of energy and excitement, ready to explore and enjoy a fire-themed session with a sprinkle of Christmas magic.

We started with a festive game of “Hunt the Elf on a Branch”, before giving the children the chance to light a fire themselves. They also enjoyed making their own Christmas deorations, adding a lovely creative touch to the morning.

The favourites were in full swing – the mud kitchen, mud-pit digging, and den building kept everyone busy and happy. We finished the session by toasting marshmallows for s’mores and warming up with a hot chocolate.

Experience Advent Year 2!

Yesterday our Year 2 children enjoyed a visit to Church. The children learnt what advent means and why we celebrate it.
Father Chris invited the children to discuss what joy is and what it means to them. He also related it to the Christmas story and the good news the angels shared with Mary. The children then wrote what joy means to them on a lollipop stick. Some other lovely ladies then worked with the children creating wreaths, stars and hand decorations and exploring their meanings within advent.

1/2B Forest school

A very chilly day at Forest School today, but the children kept warm by keeping busy! They worked together on two fun tasks — building shelters for the birds and going on a scavenger hunt to find worms for them.
There was plenty of mud fun too with the mud kitchen and the mud-pit den building.
We shared the story of How the Robin got his Red Breast, enjoyed waffles with strawberries and blueberries, played a round of Sneaky Bob, and finished with a song. A cold day, but a lovely one!
