2023-2024
Our visit from a dinosaur! (March 2024)
The children in Reception class were shown some photos that Mrs Blagrove took of a dinosaur she saw early one morning! Later that day the dinosaur popped into the Foundation garden to say hello!! The children loved meeting the dinosaur who they called 'Mr Dino'! 
Our new topic is 'Toys and Teddies' (and how toys have changed over time). To start this topic the children were all invited to bring their favourite soft toy to school for the day! The children loved involving their toy in the activities! We had a wonderful circle time session where all children told their friends about their soft toy - they were encouraged to speak in full sentences and later in the day the children all created some wonderful observational drawings and used watercolour paints to add the detail.
The day our toys came to school!
Trip to the library (Jan 2024)
We went on a fantastic trip to find out all about what a library is for and how to use one. We listened to the librarian read a story called Old Bear by Jane Hissey, and we spent some time looking for books for borrow which were linked to our new topic.
Trip to Bridge House Care Home (Dec 2023)
After our first visit last year we were invited back to Bridge House by the Activities Manager Chantelle. She asked us to sing some festive songs to the residents so we sang some well known Christmas songs and then some of the children's favourite songs from our Nativity play. This has become a special community link for us - the learning opportunities for the children, and the benefits for the children and residents alike is invaluable.
We watched a wonderful clip about Remembrance Day on Cbeebies and discussed what the animation showed.

We talked about the symbol of a Poppy and why it is used to represent Remembrance Day. Then we made our own poppies using our handprints! We planted these poppies in our Foundation garden to create our own poppy field.
Conkers, Pumpkins and our Welly Walk! (Oct 2023)
We have had a great time learning about Autumn! We loved rolling conkers in paint to create our own conker art - some of us worked out how to do this with a friend! We worked on our hand eye coordination as we hammered golf tees into pumpkins and we went on a welly walk to find signs of Autumn in our school grounds. We are going to go on another walk in a few weeks time to find out how our environment has changed as we enter Winter. Watch this space!

Exploring our new outdoor area (Sep 2023)
We are so lucky to have a brand new and amazing outdoor area! We have already enjoyed climbing, balancing and swinging! The most popular piece of the trim trail is definitely the monkey bars! We have been working hard on taking turns and sharing the equipment!
We are learning how to write our names using the correct pencil grip and letter formation. We are so proud of what we can do!
