Week beginning Monday 13th October 2025

In maths this week we have been learning about patterns. We have made lots of repeating patterns using natural materials, Duplo, bears and even ourselves! You can see some in the photo below. The second photo is of some children who buried the big digger in the sand so that they didn't have to tidy it up!

In drawing club this week we have read the traditional tale Jack and the Beanstalk. See if your child can tell you about the story!

The children drew pictures of the giant and wrote a secret code ( the lettter t and 1 cross). When they pressed the code, the giant stamped his feet! They also thought about what other treasure the giant might have and we decided on a magic cup that refills with whatever drink or ice cream you want! The code for this was the letter n and 3 crosses. When you press the code, the giant roars Fee Fi Fo Fum! Have a look at some of our work below.

This week we asked the children what they would like to be when they grow up. Here are some of our answers! 

We have also enjoyed reading and responding to 'Not Now. Bernard' by David Mckee and in maths we were comparing the weight of everyday objects. The children did a great job of being human balance scales!

This week we have started our phonics journey in school. the children have been amazing and worked really hard to learn the new sounds. We still need plenty of practice at writing the sounds, so please have a go in your sound books, but only do the sounds we have learned in school.

Could all parents/carers make sure jumpers and clothes are named please. We have several jumpers in school with no names so they cannot be returned to the righful owners.

As part of our family, friends and me theme, we have been thinking about body parts and we had fun singing head, shoulders, knees and toes. We also talked about what makes us healthy and made a list. 

Week beginning Monday 8th September 2025

The children have shown great independence at lunchtimes this week. You would be very proud to see them collecting their lunch and clearing it away. Thank you to our wonderful lunchtime team for looking after them so well! 

Week beginning Monday 1st September 2025

What a fantastic first week! The children have settled brilliantly and impressed us with their independence.

Please remember to send your child with a named water bottle and a healthy snack every day. No crisps, chocolate or sweets please.
