News Atwood Primary School

It has been a busy week in Reception! The children continued learning about the topic, ‘To The Rescue!’

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a lovely half term. This week in nursery, we have been learning about the Lunar New Year.

What a dramatic start to our ‘To The Rescue!’ topic! Reception turned into top-tier detectives this week after discovering a classroom burglary.

On Thursday, Year 1 enjoyed an exciting visit from ‘Fizz Pop Science’ who delivered a fantastic hands-on workshop packed with fun investigations.

Our last traditional tale of the term was ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.

The children used the classic book ‘Peepo’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg to explore how life has changed since the 1940s.

As daffodils start to appear around the school grounds and the days start to get a little longer, it is amazing to think that we are now half way through the school year.

It has been a week of mystery, giggles, and some very strange ingredients!

Over the last two weeks, we have been reading the traditional story of The Three Little Pigs.

This week, we have started to see preparations ramping up for Museum Day. 

It has been a fun week in Reception and the children have been busy working hard.

On Friday, schools across the trust participated in an interschool poetry competition.

Another very busy week has flown by at Atwood. In Nursery, this week the children have been making their own Gingerbread Men.

This week in Reception, the children have been diving into the fascinating world of dinosaurs!

Welcome back and Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that everyone managed to get some rest over Christmas as well as finding time to enjoy the festivities.
