We had a fantastic time performing our musical story "Big Dreaming." Everyone brought their creativity to life while making beautiful dream catchers to decorate our hall! Thank you Concerteenies🎢✨

Our little chick caretakers have been taking turns holding our adorable chicks—it's such a joy to see them bonding! πŸ₯ We've also started planting our own beans as we dive into the exciting world of growing.

And can you believe we've spent so much time soaking up the sunshine outside?β˜€οΈ It's been a blast!

To top it all off, we've received a super exciting delivery of caterpillars! We can't wait to watch them transform into beautiful butterflies. πŸ¦‹

πŸ₯πŸ“πŸFarm LifeπŸ₯πŸ“πŸ

Our nursery children have been fully immersed in our farm theme this week! 🚜🌾

They’ve been busy building tractors and farms using blocks and small world resources, using their imagination to create their own countryside scenes. The children also enjoyed drawing their favourite farm animals and getting creative by making their own farm animal crafts. πŸ„πŸ‘πŸ–

Our sensory trays filled with hay were a big hit too – providing wonderful opportunities for hands-on exploration, descriptive language and imaginative play.

It’s been fantastic to see such creativity, concentration and teamwork as the children explore life on the farm! 🌟

World Book Day 2026

What an incredible World Book Day we've had today! πŸ“š This year's theme, 'Go All in - If you’re into it, read into it,' truly inspired us all!

The kids & staff came in some amazing costumes and PJs! They enjoyed live readings with authors, sparking their creativity and love for books. We also:

- Dove into graphic novels and explored their unique layouts.

- The kiddos got creative, forming teams or working solo on their own graphic novels.

- Everyone collaborated to design their stunning covers!

These creations will be 'published' for everyone to celebrate. What a fun-filled day! Keep inspiring your young readers! πŸ“–βœ¨

πŸ’ͺ✨ Fine Motor Skills πŸ’ͺ✨

Our nursery children have also been busy developing their fine motor skills this week!

From carefully using pegs to build and balance, to exploring farm puzzles and using tongs to pick up eggs – these activities help strengthen little hands and fingers, supporting early writing and everyday skills. πŸ–οΈπŸ§©πŸ₯š

We love seeing the focus, determination and big smiles as they practise their coordination and control. Well done, everyone! 🌟

πŸ’ΌπŸ’ΌCareers πŸ’ΌπŸ’Ό

Yesterday Y4 had a visitor in school who helped us think about how to behave when we have a job. We talked about our future careers and the different kinds of jobs people might do. We even learnt about unusual jobs - like someone who tidies up all the rubbish floating in space!

It was a great chance to think about what we might want to be when we grow up and how the choices we make now can help us get there.
