Catching dreams...

The SUPER Swift class were all about catching dreams today! They had a very fun day and learnt how to make dream catchers 😊 It took a lot of patience and resilience but we all got there in the end. I am extremely proud of the dedication and pride that my Swifts took. They look absolutely AMAZING! Some of these dream catchers will be selected for our 'REACH' competition. I think they are definitely worth showing off! 

Here's a sneak peak of some of the dream catchers...

Awesome right? Well done SUPER Swifts! ⭐

Gardening is good for you!

For those of you who have been collecting your children from school, you will have noticed the ongoing transformation of the outside areas of our classrooms. A small group of staff have been working hard with the children over the last few weeks to tidy up and plant these mini gardens. They have done a brilliant job so far! This is a great opportunity for pupils to be outside, be active, take pride in their surroundings and gardening is also a very nurturing activity. We would like to thank the PTA for their contribution to the plants and materials and donations we have recieved from the Coop fund and Elliotts Builder Merchants that have supported this project.

Dazzling Ducklings are having lots of fun!

We have been having lots of fun in Ducklings! We have been exploring the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and learning all about new life! We have also been having a lot of fun playing and exploring together during our Rainbow Time and also welcoming new friends! We have also been exploring numbers and rhyming words! 

We are very excited that our caterpillars have arrived - we look forward to watching them grow!

Please take a look at our pictures!

2, 4, 6, 8 Robins are really great!

 Robins have been busy learning how to count in 2s and 10s! With such lovely weather we decided to grab the chalk and head outside to learn our 2s and 10s!

The children practised counting by 2 and 10 using these activities. They did such a fantastic job! Go team Robins!

Kestrels explore evolution and adaptation

 Kestrels have been learning about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution by natural selection. They have been finding out about Darwin's finches and how they have adapted, depending on the food sources available on the different islands of the Galapagos. To illustrate this, the children explored using different 'beaks' (cocktail sticks, tweezers and clothes pegs!) to pick up 'seeds' and 'insects'.
