🌿✨ Year 6 Forest School – Creating Lasting Memories ✨🌿

Our fantastic Year 6 children spent time in Forest School last week getting creative and reflective as they designed and made their very own leavers’ flags. 🏕️🎨

Each flag tells a story and captures special memories from their time at school. From friendships and achievements to favourite moments, it was a wonderful opportunity for the children to celebrate their journey together. 💛

What a lovely way to mark the end of their primary school chapter!

🌟 Father’s Day Stay & Play 🌟

A big thank you to all the dads, grandads, mums and even big sisters who joined us for our Father’s Day stay and play in Reception. It was wonderful to see so many families come together and enjoy such a special time with the children.

We hope you all had a lovely Father’s Day! 💙

🐝 World Bee Day – 20 May 🐝

Our Reception children have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating World Bee Day and learning all about bees and why they are so important. 🌼
The children showed fantastic curiosity and inquisitive minds, exploring their understanding of the world through a range of creative activities. They made hives and bees using playdough, wrote interesting facts about bees, and designed thoughtful “Save the Bees” posters. 🐝✨

We are so proud of their enthusiasm and creativity as they learned about caring for our environment! 🌍💛

🌿🐞 Forest School Adventures – Mini Beast Homes! 🐜🌳

This week at Forest School Club, our young explorers became mini beast protectors! 🐛💚 We spent time searching for tiny creatures around our outdoor space. The children showed such kindness and curiosity as they discovered a variety of mini beasts, from wriggly worms to busy beetles. 🌼🔍

We talked about why these creatures are so important to our environment and how we can look after them. The highlight of the session was creating cosy homes for our new little friends to shelter in. 🏡🍃

It was wonderful to see teamwork, creativity, and respect for nature in action. We’re so proud of how thoughtful the children were, always remembering to handle creatures gently and return them safely to their homes. 🌍✨

We can’t wait to see what discoveries next week brings! 🌳💫

📚✨ Nursery Stay & Read Session ✨📚

We had a lovely morning in Nursery during our Stay and Read session! It was wonderful to welcome so many parents in to share stories, explore books, and enjoy special moments with their children.

These sessions are a fantastic way to support early reading, build confidence, and foster a love of books from a young age. Thank you to all the families who joined us - we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 💛

We look forward to seeing you at our next session!

🌿🎨 Year 5 Forest School Fun! 🎨🌿

Our fantastic Year 5s had an amazing time at Forest School this week, getting creative with nature! 🍃✨ The children explored how to crush pollen to create their own natural paints and dyes – and the results were simply incredible.

From mixing colours to experimenting with textures, everyone showed brilliant curiosity and creativity. 🌼🖌️

We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and the stunning pictures they produced – nature truly became their palette! 🌈🌳

🌞 Outdoor learning in the sunshine! 🌼🍃

Our nursery children have been making the most of the lovely weather by heading outside for some creative play. Using water, flowers and grass, they enjoyed making their own imaginative soups and potions before pretending to serve them to their friends.

It was brilliant to see such creativity in their play, and also to see them using their communication and social skills to share ideas and take turns. ☀️

We love seeing the children’s imaginations come to life during outdoor learning! 💙

⭐ Reception have been very busy today! ⭐

After discovering that Goldilocks had broken into their classroom, the children were full of excitement and ideas. They did a fabulous job writing simple sentences about what they found, showing wonderful effort and growing confidence with their writing.

We are so proud of how hard they worked and how enthusiastic they were – what super writers we have! ✏️📖✨Well done, Reception! 👏💛
