News Whitehorse Manor Infant School

This half term Year 2 have been learning about materials in Science.

This term, Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their art learning. We revisited colour mixing using watercolours and thought about what colours would be used to create a fiery picture.

This morning, the school was full to the brim with parents excited to see their children’s thematic work!

We have been reading the story the ‘The Three Little Pigs’ in nursery over the last couple of weeks.

This week we were lucky enough to have a visit from David at RedStart, a charity for primary-school children which delivers financial education through progressive learning, who came to teach us all about money and how to make smart decisions to keep our money safe. 

This is our second week of immersing ourselves in the story of The Gingerbread Man.

Our Year 1 classes had a fantastic day on Monday, learning all about toys from the past.

It was lovely seeing all the children back in nursery this week and hearing about all the fun they had during the Christmas break. 

Harrisons did us proud with our Christmas lunch!  The children enjoyed special Christmas table settings, a lovely Christmas lunch and some Christmas music!

We have had a busy couple of weeks in nursery. We had a visit from an oral health expert, the children loved meeting Dinky the dinosaur who taught them lots about how to brush their teeth and eating lots of healthy food.

The WHINF choir made us so proud this week with their wonderful performance at Tesco.
