Reception

We have been celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight by holding a big brew, we made cups and coffees for our visitors and Year 6 pupils helped sell fairly traded products. In worship time we looked at the trade of cocoa and bananas and encouraged children to discuss issues  relating to fair trade with adults at home. Thank […]

We celebrated World Book Day by dressing in our pyjamas and onesies for a giant sleepover party, where we read bed time stories to each other. We also had a mass drawathon, where we drew our favourite story book characters. It was lovely to see all the children working together and we had a lovely […]

In church, we retold the story of the first Christmas. We enjoyed singing, dancing, acting and making everyone smile!

We harvested our own apples and then used them to make apple crumble. There was lots of crumbing, chopping, peeling and finally eating!

We’ve enjoyed spotting signs of Autumn. We’ve been catching Autumn leaves and naming them; sorting them; using the leaves to make patterns; using Autumn colours to inspire our art work and reading Percy Park Keeper stories.

This week has been Book Week and we’ve been reading and watching Roald Dahl texts. We looked at his book of revolting recipes.
