Canford Heath Infant School

Our EYFS children were delighted to share their learning with parents and carers at our Circle of Life Exhibitions 🌍✨

It was wonderful to see them proudly talking about their work 🗣️💛, admiring the fantastic home learning projects 🏠🎨, and enjoying a range of craft activities together ✂️🧵.

The children especially loved tasting the jelly and rice crispy cakes they had made 🍓🍰!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the event such a special celebration of learning 🎉📚💫

Year 2 Super Power Race Day! 🚗⚡

Year 2 had a fantastic morning on Friday testing out their super power race cars that they designed and made in Design and Technology.
The children showed wonderful teamwork, cheering one another on and creating a really fun and supportive atmosphere. Each colour group proudly had a semi-finalist, but the overall winner across the year group was Koby Jackson – his car simply didn’t want to stop!
Well done to everyone for the effort and creativity that went into making your cars. It was certainly a very noisy, but thoroughly enjoyable, morning! 😊

Year 1 loved hosting their plant sale before half term! 🌻 The children proudly showcased their sunflower seedlings and Van Gogh inspired artwork to celebrate the end of our ‘Roots, Shoots and Muddy Boots’ topic. Thank you so much for your generous donations!

Get ready to move it, move it! 🏃‍♂️💨

Year 1 kicked off their brand-new topic, ‘We Like to Move It, Move It’, with a fantastic sporty ‘Sparkly Starter’ today!

To celebrate the start of our journey into fitness and movement, we held our very own mini Olympic Games! From obstacle courses to ball games, throwing, and balancing challenges, our amazing Year 1 athletes got well and truly stuck in.

The energy was electric, the teamwork was inspiring, and there were smiles all around as we put our physical skills to the test. It was the perfect way to get our hearts racing and get excited for all the learning to come! 🏅✨

Hedgehogs had a wonderful time at Upton Country Park! ✨

We used mirrors to look up and explore what was above us in the trees. We used the sides of our crayons to make bright, colourful bark rubbings. We also took part in a sound grab — closing our eyes and noticing five different sounds in the forest at Upton Country Park. 👂🌳

✨🐰 Rabbits had an amazing day at Upton Country Park!
The children absolutely loved exploring woodland habitats, spotting plants and animals, splashing through the stream 💦 and making their very own pongy potions! 🧪🌿

🦡 Badgers on the loose! 🦡
The Badgers class had the absolute best day exploring Upton Country Park! We:

🐛 Played 'Woolly Worms' to learn all about animal camouflage

🧪 Mixed up some magical nature potions

🪵 Took beautiful tree rubbings

👣 Splashed our way through a stream walk!

Safe to say, there were some very tired (and slightly muddy) little explorers by the end! 🌳 💧✨

Squirrels had a wonderful day at Upton Country Park! 🐿️🌳 From the minibus ride to finding woolly worms, playing “guess the tree”, splashing in the stream, and making sticky lizards – we had a day full of fun and adventure! 💚

Our wonderful choir have been busy rehearsing for their upcoming summer concert, and they are doing an amazing job! They’ve been learning the actions and singing beautifully to a range of songs that they are so excited to share with you all very soon. 🌟

We would also like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our lovely helpers. You come every week with a smile and such a helpful, caring nature — we truly couldn’t do it without you. Thank you so very much! 💛😊

Today the children have all had an assembly about staying safe on the beach! 🏖️

They have learnt about the Water Safety Code, the role of the RNLI, what to do if they get into difficulty in the water, how to signal for help 🆘 and staying safe in the sun ☀️.

If you ask them about the different beach flags 🚩 then they should be able to tell you what each flag means!
