• Year 1 Toys Inspirational Day- Friday 22 September 2023

  Tue 19 Sep 2023

  Today Year One had their first inspirational day of the year. They all looked fantastic as they arrived in school wearing their toy costumes.  During the day, the children visited each of the classrooms to complete different activities.  

   

  In Goldfinch class the children heard a story about a family toy box. The toy box was full of toys from the past 100 years. The children were then given the opportunity to empty the toy box and play with the different toys. 

   

  In Greenfinch class the children watched a short video which took them back in time with Magic Grandad.  They visited 1870 and learnt all about the toys that children used to play with in the late Victorian period.  They then made their own Victorian thaumatrope toy. 

   

  In Chaffinch class they listened to a story about some toys who come to life at night.  They then explored the ways different toys would move and created a toy dance.

  

• Travelwise week- Scavenger Hunt, bus visit and more

  Tue 19 Sep 2023

  Well done to all those who took part in the Travelwise scavenger hunt.  It was great to see how many of you enjoyed finding the clues and being active together!

   

  As part of Travelwise week we were lucky enough to have a visit from Arriva buses.  All the children got a chance to go on the bus and experience bus travel.  Perhaps you could look up some local routes and go for trip out in our local community.

   

  We had a very special trip to school on Friday.  Again, as part of Travelwise week, one of our Year 2 students, Amelia wanted to come to school on her horse, Mally.  What a great idea!
