Year 1 - RE - Epiphany
In Year 1, we have been learning about Epiphany and particularly about the Festival Of The Three Kings that is celebrated in Spain. The children learnt that in Spain they eat an Epiphany cake with a tiny figurine of Jesus or a king hidden inside, as well as a black bean. If they get the figurine in their slice of cake then they get to be king for the day. If they get the bean, they have to pay for the cake! We decided to all be kings and queens and made beautiful crowns to wear.

Nursery - Art And Design - Creating Eric Carle Inspired Animals
In Nursery class this week our story of interest has been 'Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?'. The children enjoyed exploring the different colors and animals featured in the story during our craft activity. They were tasked with using our story props to support their understanding of colour. All of the children were encouraged to vocalise the colour names, some children were able to identify the colors they could see and correctly find the colored tissue paper they would need for their chosen animal. They then created animal art work in the style of the author Eric Carle. The children produced some brilliant pieces of work, well done everyone!
Online Safety - Justalk Kids
JusTalk Kids is an alternative version of the JusTalk app, aimed at an audience aged 13 and under.

Pre-School-UTW-Science- Exploring Seasons
The children had so much fun exploring the snow. Experiencing what Winter is all about, snow, icicles and snowflakes. We went on a hunt to find all these objects and why we know it is Winter. The children talked about wearing warm clothes, hats, scarves and gloves to play out in and shorts are for summer time. We noticed that there are no leaves on the trees and that not many animals were around because they are hibernating this season.
Pre-School- PSHE-Keeping Us Safe
In our lesson today we discussed people who keep us safe and how they can help us. We looked at a few pictures of people in different roles, including parents, police officers, fire fighters, doctor/ nurses and teachers. We talked about how they can help us and keep us safe. We role played different roles, being a police officer helping someone if they got lost, a doctor and using the plasters and bandages to make you better. The children then used this knowledge to draw a person and list what they can do to help us.
