Literacy Based Art in Peridot Class
The Reception children have been getting arty today, making spaceships for the little alien Beegu from our Literacy story book. These will look wonderful hanging in our art area!
When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.

On a windy afternoon, Peridot Class have planted some daffodils 🌼
We will look forward to seeing them come into flower next week!
Children were interested in puppets this week, so we got the puppet theatre out. They all independently had a go at telling a story, with lots of lovely narrative and much excitement!
Our Year 5 pupils were kindly invited to the matinée performance of Matilda the Musical Jr at William Brookes School. What a treat it was, and so inspirational for our Year 5 pupils to see what hard work and dedication to the performing arts can lead to.
This morning, sapphire class had their very own Starbooks café! We had hot chocolate and read mystery books from our Starbooks bags!
It was great to see the children embracing new books and trying new styles and authors!
I told them when they get older and life is hectic, they will love the opportunity to sit in a cosy café with a good book – they felt very grown up then!
Peridot Class have been working very hard on our cooperation display, which is now up in the school hall.
Children were interested in ballet dancing this week. We talked about what that looks like and then researched on the computer. Children then independently found some dancing dressing-up clothes and started copying the moves - fantastic!
This week is Children’s Mental Health week. In Emerald, we have talked about strategies to make us feel calm and happy with one being mindful colouring.
The children enjoyed colouring with some calm music in the background.
In our geography lessons we have been learning about the polar regions and what makes them unique 🌍
Children have been busy using lots of different ways to make marks, practising their fine motor skills. This afternoon they listened carefully to ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’ and then retold the story by drawing pictures of the sequence. Lots of fantastic language was used in retelling the story and children gave real meaning to their marks.
At Forest School this week we have been looking for signs of spring. Children noticed some daffodils popping through the ground and some buds appearing on the trees. Of course, it wouldn't be Forest School if they didn't play in the mud!
The Peridot class have been working hard on their writing about the book, ‘Let’s all creep to crocodile creek’. We have been thinking about vehicles that we would use to take us on an exciting journey.
