This week in literacy, the children have been learning about the Nativity story.

A somewhat abridged newsletter as the school succumbs to the Festive Season. 

This week, the children have been working incredibly hard, practicing singing the songs for the Reception Christmas concert.  

What a busy two weeks we’ve had!  Last week saw the beginning of our Christmas festivities as we had our Early Years Christmas making day.

Last Wednesday, Year 1 enjoyed a brilliant visit to All Saints Church to learn about the Christmas story.

Whether it’s lacing up fresh trainers before a match, hearing the roar of the crowd as you step onto the pitch, nailing a perfect shot or celebrating a last-minute win with your teammates — how would you describe the ultimate sports moment?

Here we are in December and Christmas has definitely taken a grip. 

It’s that time of year again when sleigh bells can be heard just around the corner.

We were scientists this week!  Whilst learning all about the colours in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet), we have taken on the role of rainbow scientists!

In Nursery, this week the children have been learning about the colours of the rainbow and triangles. 

This week in Reception, the learning has been based around the book ‘Emma Jane’s aeroplane’ by Katie Haworth.  

This week in Nursery, we have continued reading the story ‘Brown bear, Brown bear’.

This week, we have started to see the first signs of Christmas appearing in school. 

It has been another busy week in Reception.  The children continued looking at the story “Naughty Bus” by Jan and Jerry Oke with their learning extended by creating a version of the book.

Our Year 1 classes had an amazing day during their trip to the Moon.
