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.
Children have enjoyed learning about the mythological story of the Green Man at Forest School. We thought about how he looked after the wood and the creatures in it. Children then created their own ‘Green Man’ using natural resources they found.
Children in Peridot and Emerald classes were visited by Hazel Gardiner, a children's author, this week. Hazel talked to the children about her book, 'Boots and Cats' and the children were all handed a signed version of the book to keep.
Children across school have been busy making cards and artwork to celebrate David Attenborough's 100th birthday!
Our Year 4 pupils have had a fantastic time at the Pioneer Centre this week, on a one-night residential. They have participated in activities including, archery, caving, zip-lining, climbing and inflatables!
Year 3 enjoyed a fun‑filled orienteering and Tri‑Golf event at William Brookes School. For some pupils it was their first time trying a new sport, and everyone embraced the experience. There was lots of teamwork, healthy competition, and enjoyment throughout the afternoon.
Peridot Class have been making the most of the sunshine, this week, and using their outdoor area for play-based learning.
Children in nursery enjoyed making their own healthy snack. They identified the different equipment they would need and used knives to chop their fruit. Some children even helped with the washing up!
Children in Emerald Class had a lovely afternoon observing the weather during spring. The children have made their own windsocks and tested them outside.
A lovely morning was had at Forest School. We were thinking about Food Chains and children really understood and gave examples of the order in the chain. We also planted some wild flower seeds around the wood which we hope will add to the Food Chain over time.
Children in Amethyst Class enjoyed learning about how an electrical circuit is made, and then had the opportunity to apply their knowledge.
The children have been investigating 3D shapes this week. The Reception children focused on learning about cuboids and made some great models.
Emerald Class enjoyed a wonderful session at Forest School as they went exploring for signs of spring! The children loved spotting new buds, blossoms and other clues that warmer days are on the way. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore nature, ask questions and enjoy learning outdoors together.
