Look at our sunflowers 🌻

During the Spring and Summer term, we learnt firsthand that:

Many plants grow out of seeds.

Seeds grow into seedlings with roots and shoots.

Roots and shoots then grow leaves above ground.

Many plants make flowers, which turn into fruits.

Flowers and fruits make their own seeds.

Look at our fabulous sunflowers!

We will collect the seeds in the Autumn, ready to plant again next Spring. 🌻

Thanks to Miss Beacham for photographing these yesterday.

A fun ‘Art Day’ in Reception/Year 1!

We have been learning about an African lady called Wangari, whose determination to see a greener future was inspirational. We successfully used charcoal to create her portrait, using contrasting tints and shades.

Our beautiful bees were created with watercolours and pen and our printed cats were inspired by the work of Sonia Delaunay.

Welcoming our New Parents

We know that starting school is such an important time in the lives of our children and their families.  Transitions and change can be tricky and therefore we have an important and robust system for supporting children’s smooth transition into our school, in order to give them the best possible start.

Today we met many parents of children due to start Reception in September.

They found out about our school philosophy, curriculum and practical details such as the routines and uniform.

Lyndsey joined us from the Health Visiting and School Nurse team in order to support parents with ‘school readiness’. She chatted to parents about eating and sleeping and was able to signpost them to other health departments. We work closely with this team of professionals to support children’s development and learning, especially in the EYFS.

We are looking forward to sharing lunch with our new families, playing with the children during Stay and Play sessions and visiting them at home in the coming weeks.
