Reception have been learning all about Healthy Heroes. In a workshop led by the School Nurses, they focused on healthy eating, the importance of drinking lots of water, getting enough sleep, being active and being kind to ourselves and to others. The children really enjoyed playing the active movement game and filling the kindness bucket with kind words and actions.

The hall is filled with amazing cake creations for today’s bake off. Emma and Donna had the very difficult task of judging so much so there were multiple winners in the age groups they each judged for.
The cakes will be on sale at Friday’s Christmas fair…we hope you can join us for some scrumptious cake and a drink.

In Class One, we had fun celebrating bonfire night.

At Forest School, the children made friendly fireworks for our forest friends and enjoyed being exploding rockets.

In Funky Fingers, we created firework patterns using felt pens, chalks, by spraying water and also on the bikes.

As part of our topic “In the Forest”, the children have been inspired by trees.

In Funky Fingers, they were challenged to create trees using pipe cleaners and beads, using their busy fingers to twist and thread.

The children also created collaborative art work, using a variety of loose parts to make different Autumn trees.

They have also been inspired by the artists Kandinsky and Klimt to create their own tree paintings, using Autumnal colours.

This week, Class One have been exploring the forest.

For several Nursery children, it was their first Forest School adventure so we went on a forest walk. We looked at the boundaries to keep safe and also found the seating area, the muddy slope and the pirate ship.

The children also found forest treasure, which one child called “a pocketful of nature”.

In Class One, the children have been inspired by the story “Only One You”.

They  thought about how we are all different but all special and created their own amazing fish.

Gardening Club had their first session this week led by Janice & Mel. We look forward to seeing the area flourish and the produce from the exciting projects that are planned for their green fingered team.

The children in Nursery have been exploring the beauty in sunflowers.

After carefully observing sunflower heads and seeds, the children created beautiful sunflower paintings.

They even explored using clingfilm as their canvas. What fun!
