We've had a busy week in Year 1 & 2! The children were incredible in their winter show. We want to say a big thank you to all our grown ups for helping us with costumes and learning lines.
We have also been working hard finishing our shape unit and winter poems.
The children have also carefully created salt dough decorations this week which they can't wait to take home.

This week Robin’s and Starlings have been really getting into the Christmas celebrations. We have been busy making Christmas cards, decorations and having a visit from Father Christmas himself. We also had the privilege of being visited by some Year 5 and 6 children who have been making pop up books to share with us. All of the children loved listening to the other children read their stories. On Thursday, we also had a visit from Clive Pig, a storyteller who entertained the children with Christmas stories and songs. Well done for a super week and have a wonderful Christmas holidays.

A very busy week for The children in Eagles and Hawks' classrooms! The children were set the task of designing and making a pop-up book for a younger audience. They explored the different mechanisms to use to make different components of the page to move - some of these were easier than others.
The sense of pride is shown in the completion of their books and sharing with the younger children.
Some year 5 and 6 children were given some very honest feedback about their books but took this as constructive criticism and not too personally!

🌟 Foxes, Otters and Badgers Intervention Success! 🌟
This half-term, our pupils have been taking part in targeted intervention blocks designed to support their individual needs. Children worked hard across three focused interventions: ✍️ handwriting, 🔤 phonics and 🔢 Number Sense (times tables).
The progress we’ve seen has been fantastic! From clearer, more confident handwriting, to faster recall of times tables and improved reading fluency, the growth across the half-term has been incredible.
We’re so proud of the effort, resilience and determination shown by our pupils – their hard work is really paying off! 👏
