Christmas

11th December 2025Elizabeth Frost

Crew Frost has loved getting into the Christmas spirt! We have been lucky enough to have a visit from Santa and receive a book each. Next we have been working hard in provision getting our decorations made for our tree and using our school logo as the tree topper. In expedition, we have been learning all about the Nativity, who is in it and why we celebrate it. We can’t wait to show our very own Nativity next week! Well done crew Frost!

Sponsored walk

11th December 2025Elizabeth Frost

Crew Frost have been working super hard on their sponsored walk this week, they have loved walking their miles to the North Pole with the older children. Furthermore, they have enjoyed learning all about exercise and how walking helps our muscles and bones grow. We have also been taken in the environmental sounds and looking at how big our school community is. Well done Crew Frost.
