This term the EYFS children completed an expedition titled ‘Exploring Our World’. We were hooked into our learning with a visit from an expert and his feathery friends. This piqued an interest in wild birds and their habitats. The children have worked together to assemble and decorate bird boxes that are placed around our school and community.
We decided that we were going to give the residents at The Laurels Care Home some of the bird boxes that we made. We wanted to enhance their garden area and thought they would enjoy watching the local wildlife from their windows. Some of our Year Two children kindly delivered them for us and they are now sitting under their Christmas tree. We hope that it brings a smile to their faces.
While the year two children were there, we sang some Christmas songs for the residents too. It was truly a beautiful, heart warming moment that both the children and residents enjoyed.
We would like to wish all the staff and residents at The Laurels a very Merry Christmas and we hope to see you all again very soon 🎄 xx
We were super excited this morning to take part in our very special assembly. Mr West visited our school again and this time he taught us about the Christmas celebrations. We enjoyed acting out the Christmas story, singing Christmas songs and discussing the meaning of Christmas. We loved learning about this special festival and we are looking forward to exploring it further in our RE lessons. Thank you Mr West for making this time of year even more magical for our school!
This morning in maths we reminded ourselves of what a Rangoli pattern is and why we see them around Diwali time. They are to welcome Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth.
We then used our 2D knowledge to analyse some patterns before completing them.
Beautiful Maths everyone x
Class Five have got involved in Odd Sock Day today. It is a day when schools, workplaces, and individuals join together to show that it’s okay to be different.
We used our early work time to design some funky odd socks too!
Well done Class 5 🧦
I was so impressed with class five this morning working collaboratively to create this beautiful piece of class art work. ⭐️
After several drafts of a poppy drawing, class five presented their final draft alongside a beautiful piece of handwriting.
We were all really proud of the results ⭐️
Class Five impressed me in our RE lesson today. Everyone could tell me what a parable is and could retell The Good Samaritan.
We then read The Lost Sheep and had some great conversations about what we thought the meaning was. To finish our lesson off class five turned into little actors and worked together to re-enact the parable – it really was brilliant work!
Super effort everyone ⭐️
Not even the rain could stop us having fun in class five today! We decided to spend our playtime in the hall playing some throwing and catching game.
I tried as hard as I could to get everyone out but you were all just too good at catching and working together!

Class Five had the best start to the morning. We were really lucky that Abbie’s dad came in to be our mystery reader – he shared a beautiful story and a poem!
We really enjoyed it,
Thank you 😊
