We have spent the day today doing a carousel of activities for Easter. We wrote Easter cards, made the covers, made Easter baskets and made Easter biscuits! They were delicious! We also had a really interesting assembly from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight air ambulance. The children listened so well and were really engaged with what they had to tell us about how to use the ambulance service in and emergency. Good listening!

We wish you all a really lovely Easter break and look forward to seeing you all rested and ready for learning when you return!

There was great excitement today when our eggs arrived at school. They are in an incubator at the moment but will very soon begin to hatch into chicks when we will put them into a large cage so that we can watch them . We are looking forward to seeing them and being able to have a cuddle! Look out for more pictures and news next week!

We have learned a new song in Year R all about what Lent is. It is as follows, and is to the tune of Frère Jacques, if you would like to practise at home.

Prayer, fasting and almsgiving

We are meant, to repent

40 days of sacrifice

Being super, extra nice

This is Lent, this is Lent

I have also attached a Lenten prayer for you to share at home with your child. (click the link below)

Please don’t forget to collect your puzzle piece if you attend mass this week.

Have a great weekend,

The Early Years Team

We’ve got a big week planned with a visit from a nurse, a police officer and a trip to Pizza Express on the horizon!

Ask your child all about it when they get home.

How have the number walks been going?

Have a great week,

Year R team

We were incredibly lucky to have Miss Hopkins, the vet, to visit us this week. She talked to us all about how to check if an animal is healthy and how to use bandages and plasters. Thank you for your support as parents and sending us in you children’s toys.

Ask them about their favourite part of the day!

We hope that you had a great Christmas and that the children are well-rested. They have come back ready to learn, settled, and full of enthusiasm which is lovely to see.

We are kicking off a topic on Superheroes and a new home learning pyramid has been put in your child’s bag. A copy is below in case it gets lost.

Happy home learning!

The Early Years Team

I was incredibly proud of our children, not only for their stamina with running but also for their generosity. As a year group, reception raised £59.12 for the Hampshire air ambulance, and put all of their might into doing laps of the playground in Fridays’s dull weather.

Well dome, Year R!

Dear Parents,

We are preparing for Christmas in YR and are busily getting ready for the nativity. We are also walking to Sacred Heart for the first time this week. Please ask your children about all of these experiences. Also,  thank you to all who volunteered and came to Staunton with us on Monday!

The Early Years Team

We have had an incredible week at school! We went to pets at home, had visits from some amazing dogs and are preparing for our trip to Staunton!

We have a special mention from Mrs White this week to say that the children have been really working hard to take care of our outside area this week, sweeping and collecting leaves. Well done!

Here’s our final week of nativity preparations and a successful trip tomorrow. Wrap up warm!

The Early Years Team

We we have had a fabulous time at pets at home. It was great for us to practice our road safety and behaviour in public before we go to Staunton next week. Ask your child what they did at pets at home!
