What a fantastic time we had at our Colour Run! The children absolutely loved taking part and there were smiles, laughter, and colourful powder everywhere.
As they ran around the course, the children were covered from head to toe in bright colours, making for a truly memorable and exciting experience. It was wonderful to see everyone having so much fun!
Of course, it was very messy, but that was all part of the fun! The children embraced every colourful moment and created lots of happy memories with their friends.
We hope you enjoy looking through the photos of our vibrant and joyful Colour Run adventure!
What an amazing Sports Day we had, even in such hot weather! The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and determination as they took part in all the activities.
A huge thank you to all our families for your support and for joining us to make the day so special. It was wonderful to see so many of you cheering the children on and celebrating their achievements.
Following Sports Day, we loved welcoming you into the classroom for our Celebration of Learning. The children were incredibly proud to share their beautiful work and talk about everything they have been learning throughout the year. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate all of their hard work, progress, and successes together.
Thank you once again for your continued support. We hope you enjoy looking through the photos from this fantastic day!
We’ve been making the most of the glorious sunshine in Class 1! With all the hot weather recently, we decided to bring the seaside beach vibes to school.
The children had a fantastic time paddling in the water, splashing their friends, and enjoying lots of fun outdoor playing in the sunshine. There were plenty of smiles and laughter as everyone embraced the beach-themed activities and cooled off in the warm weather.
Days like these provide wonderful opportunities for children to explore, play, and create special memories with their classmates. It was lovely to see everyone having so much fun while staying cool and enjoying the outdoors.
We hope you enjoy looking through the photos of our sunny day…
Last week, our children enjoyed a fantastic fieldwork visit to Cleethorpes, and what a wonderful day we had!
From the moment we arrived, the children were a credit to our school. They behaved beautifully throughout the day, showing excellent manners, enthusiasm and curiosity as they explored the seaside environment.
We were very lucky with the weather too. The sun was shining and a lovely sea breeze helped to keep everyone comfortable as we spent time on the beach. Of course, no trip to the seaside would be complete without a special treat! The children were delighted to enjoy ice creams and ice lollies, which were the perfect way to cool down after a busy day of exploring and having fun. Please enjoy some of the photos below, which capture the fun, laughter and memorable moments from our day at the beach!
The train journey was definitely one of the highlights for many of the children. There was great excitement as we travelled along the coast together, and it was lovely to see the children sharing the experience with their friends. There were certainly a few tired eyes on the return journey home!
We are so proud of how the children represented our school and would like to thank all the staff and volunteers who helped make the trip such a success.
What a fantastic few weeks it has been in Class 1! We are so proud of the independence, creativity and enthusiasm the children have shown as they continue to take ownership of their learning.
Our Construction Area has been buzzing with excitement and imagination. The children have been designing and building some truly amazing models. We have seen impressive castles, cosy houses, colourful toucans and even an incredible replica of the Empire State Building!
In Maths, the children have been consolidating their understanding of number bonds to 10. Through practical activities, games and challenges, they have been developing confidence and fluency in recalling these important number facts. We have been so impressed by their perseverance and growing mathematical skills.
The children have also been learning how to play Snakes and Ladders. This has been a fantastic opportunity to practise counting, number recognition and, most importantly, turn-taking. The children have played beautifully together, demonstrating patience, kindness and excellent sportsmanship.
With the excitement of the upcoming World Cup, the children have been busy designing their own football strips. Their creativity has shone through in their colourful designs, and they have loved sharing and explaining their ideas with their classmates.
Of course, we must not forget all the wonderful learning taking place in our Reading Area. The children have been getting even smarter by sharing books with their friends, discussing stories and enjoying time together as readers. It has been lovely to see their confidence grow as they explore new books and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Well done, Class 1! We look forward to seeing where your curiosity and independence take you next.
This week, we launched into Case Study Two by exploring the exciting question: Who would you see having adventures at sea?
The children arrived at school dressed as people they might spot in or around the sea, and what an exciting start to our new learning journey it was! We met pirates, sharks, sea explorers, turtles, mermaids and many more adventurous characters. The costumes and role play ideas really helped to immerse the children in our expedition learning.
Throughout the day, the children dived into imaginative storytelling and role play, creating exciting sea adventures together. They explored different characters, settings and problems their stories might include, using lots of wonderful language and creativity.
To finish our hook day, each child created their own story plan for an exciting sea adventure tale. Every story is completely different and full of imagination — from Sonic at sea to magical glitter and sharks that bite ! We cannot wait to begin writing and developing these stories over the next few weeks.
As we began Case Study One, we arrived at school to discover a shocking sight — plastic had been scattered all across our tables and learning environment! The children were quick to notice how messy it looked and shared that it made them feel sad and worried.
This sparked an important discussion about plastic pollution and how plastic in our oceans can harm sea creatures and their habitats. Through a think-pair-share activity, the children talked thoughtfully about the problems plastic can cause and worked together to create an anchor chart full of their ideas and learning.
We also read the beautiful and thought-provoking book The Odd Fish, which helped us reflect on the importance of caring for our oceans and environment. We wrote some great sentences too.
Inspired by our learning, the children have each brought in a plastic bottle from home ready to transform into a large piece of land art. We are so excited to share our creative environmental project with you next week!
Children in Class 1 were hooked into our summer expedition by reading ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ written by Giles Andreae. The colourful cast of sea creatures provided the perfect stimulus for children to make their own sea creatures. They used a variety of mediums, including paints, oil pastels and sketching pencils to create some beautiful art work that was proudly displayed around their learning environment. As we joined in with the lively verses in the text, children became familiar with the different creatures that you find in our oceans. Each EYFS crew took a sea creature from the story and used non fiction texts to explore each creature further.
The whole of EYFS last week were well and truly hooked, lined and sunk into our new summer expedition “Seaside Explorers, what happens where the sea meets the shore?”
The children explored various sea creatures introduced to them through our hook text, “Commotion in the Ocean”. Each crew were given a sea creature to investigate and research, using the internet and supporting non fiction texts. The children then compiled fact files about their given sea creatures and created a large scale piece of artwork between them working collaboratively. They had lots of fun doing this and found out the most amazing facts! Each crew have employed all of their artistic talents to really think about how the creatures look and bring out the best in their features.
Both Nursery and Reception classes presented their sea creatures and fact files to each other in our weekly community meeting. They were so excited to share their interesting facts and spoke thoughtfully and beautifully about their creatures and the new knowledge that they now have! We can’t wait to dive deeper into our thrilling summer expedition. Just look at the quality and craftsmanship of our work, the children really were Go for it Gorillas!
The children arrived looking absolutely amazing in their costumes, and the hats were truly sensational. A huge thank you to all of you parents for the time and effort you put into helping the children prepare for today – it really made the day extra special.
We started World Book Day just as you might expect… with our heads in a book! The children enjoyed some quiet reading time before we gathered together to share and admire everyone’s fantastic costumes and creative hats.
Throughout the day, the classroom was full of exciting book-themed activities. In the construction area, the children took on the roles of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf, building houses and acting out the story together. We also created Hungry Caterpillar repeating patterns, made our very own beanstalks, and even had a go at writing our own stories.
It was a joyful day full of imagination, creativity, and a love of books. Well done to all of the children for their enthusiasm and fantastic participation – we are very proud of them!
Thank you again for helping to make our World Book Day so special.
