Today was the big day for Reception’s Nativity.  The children all performed brilliantly and we are very proud of them all. The singing raised the roof and the acting was outstanding. Especially well done to everyone who had lines to say.

We use our phonics knowledge to help us make and read words independently.  

Such lovely afternoons spent with our friends reading books and enjoying each others company.  #specialtimes

Today the children retold the First Christmas Story to their parents in our nativity assembly. They sang and danced beautifully and reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas. Well done nursery children!

Year 1- Christmas Prayers 

We have been thinking about who we would like to say a special Christmas prayer to over this festive period. Each child designed their own prayer to share with the class. 

Physical Development, Expressive Art & Design

The children are using their fine motor skills to decorate wreaths, Christmas trees and snowmen this week. They are also wrapping gifts for under the tree and making magical reindeer food bags. 

We love a good snack time in Reception.  We enjoy a range of healthy snacks in class each afternoon and the children enjoy helping to prepare it.  We practice our fine motor skills, by spreading butter and jam and pouring out our drinks, we practice maths, by working out if there are enough chairs…

Year 1- Art-Painting

This week Year 1 have been looking at the artist Piet Mondrian a Dutch painter. They created their own pieces of artwork using primary colours. 

The children have had lots of fun rolling, throwing, catching and balancing using the hoops, balls and quoits. 

After learning about the Anglo-Saxons, the children looked at the Vikings arrival.

We discussed why the Vikings raided and explored misconceptions such as all Vikings were viscous.

This term we have been learning about networks and their components. We have created presentations to explain how networks operate and the roles of the server, router , wireless access points and firewalls. 

The children enjoyed practising jumps, rolls and balances on a range of apparatus.
