Today we went for a walk around our beautiful grounds. We looked at the changes that are happening around us now it is Autumn. What a great way to start the day.

Woodland Animal Hunt.
Last week the Nursery children were learning about the different kinds of animals that live in woodlands, through our story “The Brave Little Owl” written by Penny Little and Sean Jullian. We are very fortunate to have a beautiful wooded area within our school grounds, just behind Nursery. So we went to explore the woods and see if we could spot any autumnal animals on a woodland animal hunt.
Children checked off the animals from their list and named them. We also found some natural treasures within the woodland such as feathers and dandelions which sparked some curiosity and interesting questions. Well Done Nursery.
Does Crew stop at the school gate?
We have a guiding question this week – does Crew stop at the school gate? We decided that it definitely didn’t and we wanted to spread kindness far and wide! We have designed and painted wood cookies in class and then this morning we headed out into Norton to hide them hoping our local community will smile when they see them or take one and hide it somewhere else for someone to find and make them smile.
Awesome job Class Five – you have definitely shown kindness today 💕
Reading for pleasure in the sun
What a lovely start to the day….a visit to our library and then reading our books outside.
Tranquil Tuesday goes outdoors ☀️
Mindful Monday in Crew Parsons
We started our crew circle with a funny check in this morning – how are you feeling?
Then we took our crew circle outside for a walk in the sunshine whilst we shared our news from over half term. When we circled back up we shared something we had found out from someone else in our crew – we even had a squirrel want to join our crew!!
What a lovely way to start the week!

Walking challenge
This week in our crew sessions we have been promoting walking and discussing the benefits of this. We walk for inclusion, sustainability, health, mindfulness and for friendship. We have loved the sunny mornings, getting outside and walking around our beautiful school grounds then checking out with a word or caption to describe how walking makes us feel. Some of the words used by our Year One children were, ’happy’, ’joyful’, ’calm’, peaceful’, ’lively’ and ’closer to nature’.
Phonics in the sunshine ☀️
The sun is out so we took our lesson outside too!
Signs of Spring
In Class 2 we have been really creative making Spring bunting to decorate our school. We also went on a walk around the school grounds looking for signs of Spring.
Spring Bunting Crew Activity
We have been busy creating beautiful bunting to celebrate Spring. Classes across our school have used lots of different resources and techniques to brighten up our environment.
