News Atwood Primary School

Welcome back! This term, we begin our new topic  ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’.

It has been a very busy week back in school with a number of trips and lots of excitement as we build up to the Summer Fair.

As part of our new topic, Beastly Beasties, Reception enjoyed an exciting trip to Godstone Farm this week.

This week in Nursery, we have been celebrating science week! Our focus was changes over time and we did the following experiments: Whisked egg whites – we had a discussion on how the friction turned the whites from a liquid to a solid.

This week, it has been Science Week in school and we have all used science to explore the theme of ‘Curiosity’.

This week in Reception, the children have been continuing their learning around our ‘Once Upon a Time’ topic. 

This week in Reception, the children continued their learning about the duck life cycle, observing how the ducklings have been changing over time and learning how to care for them properly.

This week in Nursery, we have continued reading the story ‘The big red bus.’

Even though it was a slightly shorter week due to the bank holiday, the children have been so busy.

On Tuesday, an incubator containing five eggs arrived in Reception. The children learned about what sort of animals laid eggs then made predictions about what might be growing inside our ones.

We’ve had lots of fun in the sun this week.  We have been reading the story ‘The Big Red Bus’ by Judy Hindley.

What a wonderful week we have had in Reception as we continued our ‘Once Upon a Time…’ topic!

We’ve had so much fun in Nursery this week. A big shout out to our amazing caretakers John and Alex who made us a new gravel pit!

It has been a busy week with lots of exciting learning happening.

On Monday, Year 1 had a fantastic time taking part in an African dance workshop.
