This week, we have been really enjoying hearing all about the adventures which the children got up to during the holidays. One of the highlights was, of course, Bonfire Night so we made firework pictures, firework sticks and edible sparklers! We have now got a dark tent to help with our investigatio
This week, we have been getting scary! We scooped out the slimy innards of our pumpkins and then carved faces into them. We then chopped up vegetables to make pumpkin soup. Some children thought it was delicious and asked for more but others were not so sure. We read ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Don
This week, we have been learning all about how to look after our teeth. We read ‘Maisy, Charley and the Wobbly Tooth’ and the children learned that they will all lose their milk teeth and grow adult teeth. We also read ‘Alan’s Big Scary Teeth’ to learn what could happen if we don’t take care of our
This week, we have been learning about parts of our bodies and what we need to do to keep clean and healthy.

The children have been back at school for a few weeks now and are all taking books home from Accelerated Reader, Read Write Inc, Class Treasure Chests or Reading Schemes. The outdoor library has re-opened and children are accessing this at breaks and dinnertimes. As the nights draw in, it is the per
Phew! We have had such a busy time but it’s been great. The children could bring their special things in to talk about and it was lovely to hear all about what they valued and why. On Tuesday, we all went hunting for conkers and we found lots, nearly two small buckets full. The children have had gre
As well as continuing to settle in to our routines, which they are doing well, we have been talking about how we celebrate birthdays this week. The children have been able to write invitations (with a little help), colour in birthday cards, and wrap presents in the cut and stick area. However, mos
We have had a great week! The children have been so settled, it’s amazing! They are having a lovely time and are really showing confidence making friends and playing in a variety of areas. This week, we have used our PE slot in the hall for the first time. They had great fun dancing and playing corn
