We had such fun last Friday during our Opal presentation and our Parents and Carers Stay and Play. The sun was shining, and our school grounds were in full bloom.  

 

Sophie and Hannah made a home for snails. Alivia found a giant newt and had fun handling it carefully, looking closely, sharing it with her friends and then putting it back in its home. Children were climbing trees, digging, and making mud soup; creating games using loose parts and making potions with the water; there were bikes, scooters, football and acrobatics and gymnastics! 

 

All the children had huge smiles on their faces as did the grownups! We are so proud of our Play and we look forward to continuing to enhance our provision in line with children’s voice and interests. Click here to see all of the photos from the day. 

 

New Discovery themes this term 

 

Nursery’s Discovery theme is Changing me! Children are thinking about how they’ve changed as they’ve grown, their likes and dislikes and thinking about moving up to becoming the oldest children in the nursery or transitioning to reception.  

 

Reception’s Discovery theme is Stories from around the World exploring different cultures, finding out about countries and the people and animals that live there. Tommy bought in lots of croissants for the children to share and I had fun in the International Café where I was offered food choices from around the World. 

 

KS1’s Discovery theme is Picture This. They are learning about Frieda Kahlo and aspects of life in Mexico due to its location and geographical features. The children have concentrated hard learning about colour mixing primary and secondary and in year 2 the children were looking at tertiary colours! Please click here for Colour mixing Year 2
