Year 6 PGL are on their way home! The coach will be back around 4pm today. Please pass on the message to other parents as School Gateway is currently down.
Caterpillars in nursery are growing so fast!
The caterpillars that arrived last week have grown so much. Now that they are bigger we can see more detail. The children have noticed that they look ‘spikey’ and there is a green line running all along their sides. With half term fast approaching, we hope they’ll wait until we get back to turn into butterflies. We’ll keep you posted on their developments.
Year 1 Authors
In Year 1 today we became authors and wrote a different ending to Hansel and Gretel. There was super learning behaviours with every child focused on their writing.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This week in nursery we have been reading the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The caterpillar in the story eats through lots of fruit and today nursery decided to make their own fruit salad. We used apples, plums, apricots, melon, banana, mango and papaya.
Year 1 Marvellous Maths
Today in Power 5, children were challenged to find as many different ways they could to make 20. Look at all the different ways we came up with. Can you think of any more ways?
Inspired by caterpillar arrival
Nursery have been inspired by the arrival of the caterpillars and during group work have made salt dough caterpillar models, looked at the life cycle of a caterpillar, cut out pictures of it, placing them in the right order and decorated a butterfly picture making sure each side matched. Look at just some of their amazing work!
Caterpillars arrive in EYFS!
Following on from the visits we had from chicks and snails, we now have some caterpillars in EYFS.
They’re really small at the moment but we’re going to watch them grow. We’ll keep you posted on how much they change.

Writing in Year 1
This morning Year 1 have become authors and are writing their own stories. The classroom is a full of children fully focused on their learning and I am so excited to read their stories later today!
Chicks in EYFS
What a fascinating couple of weeks Reception and Nursery have had seeing 13 chicks hatch and grow…
The children have loved observing the chicks and how they have been changing in appearance and developing new skills such as jumping. They also had the opportunity to hold a chick and describe how that felt. Sadly today we had to say good bye to the chicks today. If you would like to talk more to your child about how they will look when they are fully grown please look up the breed Cream Legbar Chicken.
