Non-Uniform day 6th July 2023

On Thursday 6th July we will be holding a non-uniform day to support our Summer Fayre. We ask that the children bring in a chocolate donation or a bottle (which will go on our infamous bottle stall – this can range from bubble bath, water, fruit juices or a bottle of fizz) rather than the usual fee. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Chicks 🐥

It’s been such an exciting time in Nursery recently after the arrival of our chicks! We have treated them to a little paddling pool to stretch their legs in, and it meant we could sit and watch them playing together. Some of us were really eager to hold them, whilst some of us opted to just stroke them – we absolutely LOVED it! We have felt really lucky to have experienced this and we really don’t want to say goodbye to our new friends at the end of this week!

Clever construction 🧱

There has been lots of construction happening this week! We’ve been making car parks, rockets, towers… all sorts! We’ve taken some inspiration from the example pictures in the construction area and we have also added our own ideas and concepts too. Olly even decided to draw his ideas out first before beginning to build his creation with Hunter. There has been lots of teamwork, resilience and trial and error – fantastic work Crew McGlone!

Super letter formation! 🖊

Arya has really been enjoying her phonics lessons and has been using role play to work on her letter formation. She has been teaching the ‘m’ lesson and did a beautiful representation of Maisie, mountain, mountain – you can even spot Maisie stood next to the two mountains! Excellent work Arya!

New additions to EYFS 🐣🐥

This week we have welcomed 15 new, fluffy arrivals to EYFS 🐥

The eggs arrived earlier in the week, and we watched the incubator in anticipation to see if we could see any movement or cracks appearing.

After a couple of days, we came to school one morning to find that some of the chicks had hatched overnight and were starting to fluff up in the warmth of the incubator! We could hear them cheeping and we could not believe that they had come out of something so small!

That same day, 5 more eggs hatched and we were lucky enough to watch some of them happen in front of our eyes! We had some visitors from other crews in school – everyone has been so excited! The following day, the remaining 5 eggs had all hatched too and we now had 15 new arrivals to look after. We had to wait until they were fully dry and fluffed up before transferring them to their brooder box.

We made sure that the brooder box was nice and cosy for them, switching on the heat lamp and making it comfortable, as well as sorting water and food out for them. Since then, we have been watching them getting to grips with their first few days out of their eggs. They are so cute and we all love them so much! Now that they are a little stronger, we will be able to hold them if we want to! We can’t wait to spend the next few days with them before they go off to their new homes with some of the very lovely staff from our school! 🐥

Pyjamarama Day in EYFS!

We’ve had so much fun during pyjamarama day in EYFS! We’ve had a teacher swap where some of the teachers from the rest of school came to read us a story which we loved! We’ve also had reading volunteers from KS2 come to read us stories which was so much fun! Finally, we’ve had our grown ups come to share stories with us at the end of the day in the sunshine ☀️
