We had such an amazing day and saw so many animals! We also managed to take part in an animal explorers workshop where we had to follow clues to find a particular animal… Mrs O’Carolan’s group had to find an Ostrich! (Can you see the Ostrich skull in the picture above?)

Thank you also to all of the lovely parent helpers who made the trip possible…a huge thank you from everyone in Early Years.

Last week we were playing in the outside area when one of the children in our year group found a giant moth!

It was really exciting to look at the moth up close and notice all of the body parts a moth has. We finally let it go and put it in a safe place so it wouldn’t be found by any predators!

Seahorse Class have been having a go at beat-boxing… check it out!

How about counting minibeasts in your garden?

Hello!

We hope you have enjoyed your INSET day! We have been learning lots ready for this week.

Just a quick reminder that we are hoping to visit Marwell Wildlife on Wednesday 24th June. However, this will only be possible if all reply slips are back and enough parents are able to volunteer. Thanks so much to the 3 parents who have kindly offered to help already, but if you feel you may be able to join us, please let us know ASAP.

Thanks and see you tomorrow!

Miss Rhoades and Miss Moncreaff

Please come in wearing the correct colour kit tomorrow.

Parents are welcome from 12.30.

See you there if you can make it!

Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that next Friday (12th) is our class assembly! The children are already working hard learning their lines ready for the big day!

As home learning this week please can every child learn their lines at home ready for next week.

Thank you for your continuing support

Hello Reception and Reception parents!

Miss Rhoades and I hope you have had a wonderful half term, enjoying some of the nice weather and getting lots of rest after working really hard. We have been busy bees planning lots of lovely things for you to do this half term.

We are really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, but there are a few things to remember:

-This Thursday 4th June is Green day– if your child has chosen to do sport, they will need to have kit in school and if they have chosen the DVD option then they are welcome to bring pajamas to change in to.

-This Friday 5th June is Sports Day– you have been sent a letter about how to dress your child for the day. Please check their home learning diary if you are not sure of which house they are in as it is written on the front.

-Please do  not send in any form of chocolate spread as there are children with severe nut allergies within the school.

-Please remember water bottles, coats, sun cream and hats depending on the day. We go to the woods whatever the weather!

Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Miss Moncreaff and Miss Rhoades

In Year R we have been having lots of fun outdoors, enjoying the nice (and not so nice) weather! We have been learning about growing and gardening through our discovery as well as our literacy and numeracy sessions, and are loving the current topic. Ask us what we have been up to!

Finally the wind has dropped and the sun has come out! We have had such a lovely afternoon paddling in the water stream, experiencing the feeling of cold water on our toes! It has promoted such wonderful speech and language and has provided a wonderful experience for many of the children.
