The children had to be very focused for today’s DT task. We are learning how to use the claw and bridge grips to help us to chop food safely.

We had our first trip in Year 2 and we went to Moor Park to observe its features so we can write more confidently about it when we return to school. 

In gymnastics this half term Year 2 will be focusing on jumping in a range of ways safely. This week we were practising a tuck jump.

Year 2 had a fun and engaging start to their new story 'The Tunnel' by Anthony Browne by experiencing what it is like to be in a tunnel.

We have been looking at old photos from the travelling museum. We tried to recreate a couple of the photographs so we could see how our school and church have changed over the years.

We had the most fantastic day at the farm recently. So many animals we had never seen before, a tractor ride, holding chicks and we even hand fed the goats.

We are reading the traditional story 'Little Red Riding Hood' and our role play area has been turned into Grandmas's house. 

Reception Blessed wanted to welcome our new Pope, Leo XIV and made him a card. We each spoke about what we would say if we met the Pope. We even sent our card to The Vatican City.

It's been a very busy week at the Vet's. The children have been taking great care of a range of pets in the new surgery.

It was great to see so many parents and carers at our Stay & Play. The children were thrilled to be able to show off their classroom and all the wonderful things they have been learning. 

We've discovered a dinousaur egg in our garden! We've even had letters from Mrs Rex and we are helping her by keeping her egg warm and safe. We are also helping her to find her way back to school by making maps.

This week we had a walk over to our church to see how beautifully decorated it was for Christmas. The Nativity scene was a favourite for all the children. We even got to hold baby Jesus.
