The Rainbow Fish loved using the chocolate buttons during our science session today. They wanted to find out where it would melt the fastest – in our hands or in our mouths. They had lots of fun finding out (and got very messy and sticky!) that it melts the fastest in a warm environment.
FS children had an amazing time at Nottingham Castle in the sunshine. They noticed similarities and differences within our local environments; used a spotter sheets to look for clues within the Art Gallery; noticed floral prints and drew these; tried on a range of hats and finally had a wonderful time playing on the Adventure Playground – bringing our castle topic to life!
What a busy day they had!
The FS children loved exploring the woods today. They used their senses to look and feel the different trees – looking at the different shapes, sizes and patterns on them. They also spotted some first signs of Spring, finding daffodils, ladybirds, bumble bees and butterflies.
The EYFS children have completed The Big Lent Walk 2025, walking 24 laps of the playground collectively to raise money for CAFOD. The children loved Big Walk so much, they even wanted to do more! Well done EYFS!
The children enjoyed walking up to Forest School, exploring the woods and noticing the similarities and differences in the environment. They also loved retelling and acting out the Jack and The Beanstalk Story as they climbed trees
What a wonderful, fun day of reading we had today! There were two performances of Jack and the Beanstalk – the characters played by both staff and children! This story was also innovated by The Rainbow Fish (FS2) group, becoming Sammy and the sunflower. The Caterpillar Group (FS1) enjoyed two stories from Ghana about Anansi the spider and created their own story maps. The Gruffalo Group listened to Ten in a Bed loving the rhythm of the story. The children also looked brilliant in their costumes and enjoyed admiring each other.
The children gathered quietly for our Ash Wednesday Liturgy. They sang ‘Jesus Loves Me, this I know’, listened to scripture from The Gospel of Matthew – ‘When you pray, talk to God in your heart. He listens to you’. They received ashes on their heads to remind them to love God and others and to remember to say sorry when we make mistakes. Their mission, linking with our Jubilee Year promise was to help, care and share with others.
This week, all the children in Foundation Stage have visited our church. They were learning how the parish gathers together to celebrate Mass and what the different places and artefacts are called. They were awestruck by the size of the church and by the beautiful window. They were also fascinated by the font, thinking about when they were baptised there as babies.
On a wonderful, cold, bright and frosty morning, the children were really busy working together to build shelters. They were really creative making ‘camp fires’ and ‘toasting marshmallows’; building beds, kitchens and sofas. Well done to everybody for working so well together.
