Christmas production

Words to song

Our Christmas play practice is well under way!
Thank you so much to everyone who has been practising at home, please continue to practise as much as possible. If you would like to practice some of the songs at home, we have attached the lyrics here!
We are looking at costumes next week and we will let you know as soon as possible what you will need to provide for your child.
As you know, we have a great stock of costumes in school and we aim to provide every child with a costume so that you do not need too.
If you would like to provide a costume for your child, this would be greatly appreciated, if it is something you then wish to donate to school, it then means that others will be able to make use of the costume for many years to come!

If you child has not been provided with any lines to say, do not worry it may be because they are year 1 and will get the chance to have some lines in next years Christmas play! They will still have a part to play this year and will contribute with their singing and dancing skills!

If you are unsure, please speak to your child’s teacher.

Happy singing!

1/2B Forest School

Class 1/2B had a fantastic time at Forest School this week, embracing hands-on learning in nature. They had the opportunity to safely use a bow saw to cut their own wooden logs and used natural materials to create their very own Kindness Creatures.

Alongside this, they enjoyed den building, experimenting in the mud kitchen, exploring the mud pit, and finishing the day by toasting bread over the fire and enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate.

All things Bonfire night!

In year 1 and 2 we have been learning all about Guy Fawkes and the very local links to Holbeche house. When the plot was discovered and Guy Fawkes was arrested guarding the gunpowder in the cellars of parliament, the other plotters fled London. They rode north to Holbeche house in our very on Kingswinford! The survivors sought refuge there on 7th November 1605. It didn’t take long for the King’s men to find them and capture them!

This has inspired our English lessons where we are beginning to think about Bonfire night poetry! Please share any pictures of Bonfire events over the weekend with us. Email via info@chur-ascen.dudley.sch.uk

1-2B Forest School

Class 1–2B had a fantastic Forest School session today! We made poppy God’s eyes and poppy wood cookie necklaces to remember and reflect for Remembrance Sunday. There was plenty of muddy fun — digging in the mud pit and creating in the mud kitchen.

We then toasted pancakes over the fire and enjoyed a warm hot chocolate before finishing off with our favourite game, Sneaky Bob!

Textures Around Our School

Year 1 and 2 have rounded off their Textures Around Our School learning by creating beautiful clay tile houses. Each tile features textures and patterns inspired by the surfaces and materials found around our school. The children explored mark-making techniques in clay, drawing inspiration from the sculptural work of artist Rachel Whiteread. The finished pieces celebrate both creativity and the rich variety of textures in our everyday surroundings.
