Over the last few weeks in nursery we have been exploring rainbows, colours and colour mixing to go with our books ‘What Makes a Rainbow’ and ‘Mouse Paint.’ 

Today, staff and children enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch.  The food was delicious! 

The Infant Hall has been filled with the sound of singing this week as Reception, Years 1 and 2 took the spotlight in each of their Christmas concerts.

A huge well done to all of the reception classes as they did a fantastic job performing for their grown-ups and loved ones at their Christmas concert.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us this afternoon for a hugely successful reading session. 

Our Trust Staff Meeting at Cypress on Handwriting in the Early Years, for our Early Years and Year 1 practitioners, was a fantastic opportunity for the adults to have some fun, as well as learning some important pedagogy and practical ideas to teach this crucial life skill.

Whitehorse Infants welcomed a visitor from Beddington ERF on Thursday to deliver an assembly all about waste and recycling.

This week at WHINF we have been celebrating friendship week. We began by wearing odd socks to celebrate our uniqueness.

We have had an lovely first two weeks back at nursery, the children have settled back in well after their first half term break.

The infant children remembered those who fought and gave their lives in battle, so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today.

This week children in year 1 have been looking at the work of the artist Giuseppe Archimbolde.
