News Atwood Primary School

The half term has gone by in a whirlwind and it is amazing to think that we are already half way through the school year. 

In Reception this week, we read the book, ‘Peepo’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

For the past two weeks, Nursery has covered the traditional tale; ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’.

It was lovely to see some Year One parents in school this morning sharing a book with the children. 

On Wednesday, over 60 children from across the school gathered in the hall for our first ever collectors’ swap meet. 

A much-abbreviated newsletter today as lots of parents visited the school and have been able to see what the children have been up to this week.

In Reception the children have been thinking about Chinese New Year.

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

This week Nursery has seen the return of Forest School.  The children started by recapping the rules of Forest School and having time to explore the environment independently.

The last two weeks, nursery have been focusing on the book ‘The Gingerbread Man’ by Alan MacDonald and what fun we have had!

This week in Reception, all of the children turned into scientists!

From making slime to building shadufs, there has been a lot going on at Atwood this week.

Happy New Year.  It has been lovely to see all the children back in school after the break and we have launched straight back in to our learning. 

On Tuesday, Year 1 had lots of fun learning about old and new toys. 

The topic for this half-term in Reception is ‘Watch out—there’s a monster about!’
