Year 2 - RE - Why Were The Shepherds Chosen?
Year 2 have been thinking about how different people in the Nativity Story were told the good news by angels. Today we were thinking about why the shepherds were chosen to be told first, especially as they were not considered to be very important people at that time. We learnt that God's love is for everyone and that He values everyone regardless of their position in society.

Reception - Exploring Our World - A Leaf Scavenger Hunt
As a part of our "Exploring The World" Unit and this week's Literacy theme on the book "The Leaf Man," Reception class went on a leaf scavenger hunt. The children worked in pairs and had clip-boards with different leaf images to tick. They were brilliant at describing the colours and shapes of their leaves.
Nursery - Music - Experimenting With Loud And Quiet Sounds
During our music lesson this week we have been experimenting with loud and quiet sounds. The children took it in turns to select an instrument to use and then tested them out to see what sounds each instrument made. We then explored how we could adapt how we played the instrument to change the volume level. The children were able to play the instruments softly to create quiet sounds and also were able to adjust the way they played the instrument to make loud sounds!
Parent And Toddler Group
We have had a great time this week at our parent and toddler group. This weeks theme was 'Autumn', the children made some leaf wreaths, and experimented with colour mixing during our pinecone rolling activity. They also enjoyed using their gross motor skills to maneuver around, over and under the soft play equipment. Our music mat was also very popular, taking part in 'whats in the bag' and singing with our peers while adding a bit of musical flare with the instruments! Our parent and toddler group is on every Wednesday from 9:45-11:15 with different themes featuring each week! Please come and join us, having lots of fun and making new friends!
