Our first week at Nursery.
What a super first week! We’re really pleased with how well both our older children and our new children have settled into Nursery so far.
It was lovely to see yellow group again; they’ve all grown so much! It was also great to finally meet all of our new families face to face. Thank you for being patient whilst we try out our new systems and for trying to be prompt at drop off time. We know it can be really hard to say good bye if your child is having a wobble, but please be assured that we’d always call you if they didn’t cheer up quickly.
Children have enjoyed exploring our outdoor area; the climbing frame, dinosaurs and fairy garden were particular favourites. Children have also begun to familiarise themselves with the Rainbow Room, too. The home corner was very busy with children looking after babies and cooking in the kitchen. Lots of children painted and drew pictures; we have these saved in their folders until we can send them home.
(We’ll add more photos next week – we left the iPad with the rest of the photographs on at school. Oops!)
We’re looking forward to seeing children for longer visits next week where we’ll introduce snack time and lunches for some children.
We know that we’re having to do drop off and collection much quicker than we’d normally do and it makes it tricky for us to have our usual conversations. If you have any questions that require a longer conversation, please send us an email and we’ll get back to you.
Remember to check our website regularly for up-dates, reminders and photos. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you next week.
Sunshine Class
Another fabulous week here in Sunshine Class. We have had more new starters joining us and becoming part of our lovely class.
This week, we have enjoyed being outside and exploring the fruit trees. Apple rolling has been a real highlight!

We’ve had an other great week with lots of active learning and having fun with our friends – being back together is feeling good in 3/4E.

5/6B Certificate Celebration
Another fantastic week passes as 5/6B pupils continue to present themselves as fantastic role models for the school. We have been working really hard this week to remind ourselves of the 8 R’s for learning and why they are so important both inside and outside of school. Unfortunately, I cannot give a certificate to every pupil (as much as I want to!), so here are this week’s certificate winners:
For great living and learning skills –
Elijah – You have displayed lots of our 8 R’s for learning this week. You have been ready when asked, resilient in your learning and showed great responsibility when helping another pupil outside. Well done, Elijah!
For sport and physical activity –
Kyle – You always show great resilience during our daily miles. You work well independently and in a group in physical activity. You are very responsive and a brilliant role model. Great work, Kyle.
For great learning –
Dylan – You have shown such a mature and brilliant learning attitude from the moment you started in year 6. You are always ready to learn, responsible for the work you do and very reflective – you use this as a chance to improve your learning further. Keep it up, Dylan.

3,4O Certificate Celebration
We’ve had another superb week in 3,4O. I’ve been really impressed by everyone’s readiness to learn. This week, we’ve focussed on working as a team and it’s been great to see people helping each other with our learning – helping someone else also helps us to learn something better, too!
Everyone in 3,4O could’ve received a certificate this week but, unfortunately (ask your child if they know what this word means – we’ve learnt it this week), I had to choose three.
Our certificates go to…(insert drum roll here)

Paper planes
As part of our topic learning, we have enjoyed flying paper planes to see which one would fly the furthest.
