Well done Ducklings!

 A very BIG well done to all of our Ducklings who have had a brilliant half-term! We have loved welcoming back our Ducklings from last year and welcoming brand new Ducklings to our school!

They have impressed us with how well they have all settled. They have made new friends and explored lots of new activities and of course had lots of fun!

Our activities have included games to learn names, drawing around each other and naming body parts, listening games (including a listening walk with big ears!), fine motor skills activities to strengthen finger muscles, parachute games, sensory activities plus more! Please take a look. :)

Well done Ducklings!

SUPER Swifts elect their Learning Leaders...

It's been a very exciting day in the Swift class as they elected their new Learning Leaders! All candidates thought carefully about why they should be chosen and some even prepared speeches. It was a very tough decision but I am proud of each and every one of them. Go SUPER Swifts! 


Here's a look at some of the speeches...






And a peek of the voting...






The results will be announced tomorrow...Goodluck! 🤞

Take a look at what Skylarks have been up to...

Time has flown by and Skylarks have worked their socks off in school this half term! I am so proud of their positive attitude towards learning, aiming to be the best they can be and working hard to never give up!❤

Below are some of the main events of what we have been up to...

In art, we have been looking at the colour wheel. The children used their artistic skills to produce a painting using either warm of cool colours!









We have also been voting for our Learning Leaders this year! I was so proud of their speaches and how confidently they all read them out in front of the class!








Finally, myself and all of Skylarks would like to say a big thank you to the PTA for the money they have raised which has allowed us to purchase new resources for our classroom! The children have really enjoyed using the new books and Maths resources!💗
