Today in PHSE we had the school nurse come in to talk to the children about hygiene and how we should wash our hands, she talked about the correct way to wash our hands making sure we wash in between our fingers.
Book Week in Year 1
This week for Book Week, we have been exploring Non-Fiction books. We became information detectives and found features of non-fiction texts. We can now use a contents page to find the imformation we need. We are going to continue our learning on non-fiction next week and find lots of information about the animals from the Gruffalo story.
PHSE – Year 5 & 6
Today’s topic in PHSE was on journey and how will we overcome the barriers that will come our way. All the children worked really well

PHSE – Year 3
The Three Little Pigs
This week Reception have been reading the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We have used Talk for Writing to act out and retell the story following a story map. We have made straw, stick and brick houses using different materials and resources.
Water colours and Stonehenge
Y3 have been improving their mastery of their painting techniques with watercolours. Stonehenge provided the inspiration for the watercolour backgrounds and collage foregrounds.
Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe.

Diwali
Year 2 have been thinking about the Diwali festival this week in R.E.
We have been learning about the story of Rama and Sita.
We found out that Sita was kidnapped by the evil demon king, Ravana. Fortunately, Sita left a trail of jewellery so that Rama could find her. Rama had the help of a monkey king called Hanuman who gathered lots of other animals to help rescue Sita. There was a big fight and Ravana was killed. On their way back to their home, people put lights out to guide them back safely. This is why Diwali is the festival of light. During Diwali we think about how light beats darkness and good beats evil.
Leaves
Autumn is here and the leaves have started to fall from the trees.
The children noticed lots of leaves in the playground so we used them to make a leaf collage.
Some children have been bringing in leaves they have found on their way to Nursery. Some of these were perfect for leaf rubbing with wax crayons. The children really enjoyed doing this.
Forest School
This week I have enjoyed getting to know the Year 4 children and helping them explore our Forest School area. It has been lovely to see them using their imaginations, being kind to each other and having fun!
The children are helping me to cut the smaller branches off the larger ones so that they can be used for den building and other activities.
