The Foundation children all looked amazing in their ‘castles,’ themed outfits. We had, knight’s, princesses, princes galore! They enjoyed completing lots of different activities throughout the day such as building castle, designing crowns, comparing dances throughout the ages, but were absolutely amazed when Princess Sparkles visited and set them a challenge! They had such a magical day in FS!
Year 3 were our Nativity Super Stars! We joined the stars of the Celestial Choir as they guided our Nativity characters to Bethlehem singing some not-so-traditional, up-beat songs with a ‘showbiz’ feel. They were all ‘Fab-u-lous’!
It was a wonderful celebration of what Christmas really means and how we can all let our light shine to reflect Jesus. Our gift to our parents. Merry Christmas Everyone!
We have come to the end of the first block of our fractions topic in maths and what better way to celebrate than with cake? We cut the cake into equal pieces and showed equivalent fractions in our pairs. And of course we ate the cake after! 🙂
In DT this term, Year 6 have been learning about Complex Circuits and applying our Science knowledge of electricity. We created an alarm system, which lights up a warning light and sounds a buzzer, when an avalanche hits the microswitch. We planned, designed and built a circuit using a buzzer, bulb and microswitch and designed a mountain for the avalanche to fall from. Take a look at our final creations!
Year 6 had an amazing time at The Briars! Their mission during their stay was to become ‘Agents of Love’ and complete tasks to earn this status. They learned how to be independent, responsible and how to work as a team. Year 6 prepared liturgies, lead a Mass and went on a VERY muddy walk. Take a look at their pictures below…
We know all the parents and families will be so proud of the wonderful performance put on by all the children in the Foundation Stage. Well done to everyone for making our hearts melt and truly bringing Christmas joy.
At Forest School this week, the children were brilliant at finding sticks and talking about them. They said they were: STRAIGHT, CURLY, CHUNCKY, THIN, BUMPY, LEAFY, SPIKY, LONG, SHORT and SMOOTH.
It was great to see how confident, collaborative and ‘at home’ they were in the wonderful outdoors.
On the 11th November, our Celebration of the Word was in honour of Remembrance Day. We used it as an opportunity to explore the importance of Poppies. The children used watercolours to recreate their version of this beautiful flower. Some wonderful results…
This week, the children strengthened their muscles by working with clay and then using natural materials to create creatures that might live in the wood. Of course, there was also time to climb and explore with friends.
We are so pleased to report that all the teddy bears (and snakes, dogs, cats etc) were feeling much better after their visit to the doctors from the Teddy Bears’ Hospital.
The children showed excellent communication skills (and confidence) talking to the unfamiliar adults and joining in with activities to help them learn about hospital visits, exercise, dental hygiene, emotions and mental health.
