Helping in the forest and having fun

Wow! What a performance!
It was pleasure to be able to watch the Cheerleading and Acro performance on Thursday afternoon. The children from KS1 and KS2 performed the dances they have been learning during this term in lunchtime clubs.
The performance oozed confidence and the high quality learning that has taken place during these clubs. It was great to see children from previous years perform but also lots of new faces. A massive well done to all involved. They should be very proud of themselves.
Crew F2 get Christmassy!
Last Friday, Crew F2 got very Christmassy in their classroom! Take a look at us decorating our Christmas tree!
EYFS’s Celebration of Learning
Thank you to all of the grown ups who came to celebrate EYFS’s expedition learning with them last week! The children loved sharing what they had learnt about their ‘Be Kind’ expedition, and it was lovely to see all of the excited faces when we unveiled our final product!
Snow!
The children really enjoyed exploring snow this week. We discussed what clothes we need to wear in order to keep us warm in the cold, snowy weather. We also brought snow inside and explored what happens when it melts.
Children In Need
Crew F2 really enjoyed celebrating Children in Need last week! We had lots of fun throwing the pies at Mr Williamson (we had very good aim!) and completing our Children in Need activities.
Enjoying our new classroom and our first week back after half term!
Crew McGlone were very excited to explore their new classroom after half term. They have really enjoyed getting to know where our resources are kept and the areas we have in our new room.
Whilst we were enjoying our half term holiday, the season definitely changed and we noticed LOTS more golden, crunchy leaves had fallen off the trees in our outdoor area. We loved playing with our friends in Crew F2 and we worked together to collect them up and create big piles for us to play in. We even found some mini-beasts and insects!
XP Outdoors
Today in forest school Crew Welburn loved making dragons out of toilet rolls, tissue paper, pom poms and googly eyes
Diwali Dance!
This morning, Crew F2 took part in a Diwali dance workshop with Miss Shelly! We’ve been learning all about Diwali in expedition this week and we have looked at the lights, lanterns and fireworks using videos to explore. Today, we experienced what Diwali dancing was like, and we loved it! It was so much fun!
Exploring this week’s text – Paddington!
This week in school, we have been exploring a new story – Paddington Bear! We started by reading the story and learning all about how the Brown family found Paddington at the train station and took him home to look after him. We thought this was really kind of them! After we had read the story, we talked about the different ways that the Brown family had shown they were kind. They took Paddington to the cafe for some food, they let him have a bath after he got all sticky – although this was a bit of a disaster with shaving foam and bubbles all over the bathroom! Finally, they gave him a nice cup of tea and some marmalade on toast in a comfy armchair. Miss Welburn set us up lots of different experiences so that we could feel like Paddington did in our expedition lessons!
We thought the shaving foam was soft and fluffy, and we know why Paddington got it all over the bathroom – because it was so fun to play with and splat!
The warm water and bubbles in our baths helped us to feel warm, cosy and clean – just like Paddington!
Finally, we got to make marmalade on toast which we thought was delicious! We loved filling up our tummies, and we all agreed that the Brown family were very kind to Paddington.
