This week in afterschool club we have been gearing up towards Christmas by doing lots of Christmas crafts, making tree decorations and cards.

For our cooking activity this week, we made our very own reindeer themed chocolate logs that turned out really amazing. The children absolutely loved doing this and it really brought out their creative side!

We finished off our last day of afterschool club continuing with the christmas parties of the day by having our own with party food and lots of games!

We hope all the children have a lovely Christmas and enjoy the break. We look forward to seeing you all in the new year for lots more fun!

What a fabulous end to the term we have had!

We have worked hard to maintain our usual routines this week, continuing with our learning each morning. The children have responded brilliantly, producing some fantastic work and showing great focus and enthusiasm.

In the afternoons, we embraced the festive season with a range of Christmas activities. These included a Forest School session, Christmas crafts, and joining in the Christmas parties with Larch and Oak classes.

We hope all of our families enjoy a wonderful festive break, and that Santa brings everything you wish for.

Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄✨

This week in Larch class has been full of Christmas fun!

We have had fun making Christmas crafts throughout the week by making Christmas cards, making calendars for next year and also turning ourselves into elves. On Thursday afternoon, we also enjoyed our Christmas party with lots of games and dancing.

On Tuesday, we had lots of fun in Forest School. We enjoyed reading a story in the forest, searching for sticks and exploring the forest.

We have been working very hard in English lessons this week, planning and writing our own stories based on the book Nen and the Lonely Fisherman. The children wrote stories with their own underwater characters and included setting descriptions of the sea during a storm.

In maths, we have started our new topic about perimeter. We have been drawing around different objects in the classroom and measuring their perimeters.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A wonderful last week for Oak class! We spent some time in the forest, finding sticks and other materials to make some Christmas arts and crafts in school.

We also completed our writeaway task writing our own stories about Beowulf and our monsters that we have created. We then practised for our church service and continued on our way learning the short multiplication method-we are not whizzes at multiplying!

Enjoy the break and see you back on Tuesday 6th January.

Free School Meals – Don’t Miss Out! 🍴

Did you know ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the Universal Infant scheme?

✅ But if you receive qualifying benefits, it’s still really important that you register. Why?

Your child may miss out on supermarket meal vouchers if you’re not registered.

The school receives extra funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s education – money that makes a real difference!
For children in Years 3 and above, free school meals are not automatic. They are only available if you receive certain benefits (see link below for details).

💻 Please take a few minutes to apply online – even if your child already gets a free meal in infants. It helps both your family and our school community.

👉 Apply here: https://www3.halton.gov.uk/Pages/EducationandFamilies/Schools/FreeSchoolMeals.aspx

Thank you for helping us support your child’s education. 💜

It has been a good, festive week in Cherry class!

We have done lots of Christmas crafts including calendars, Christmas cards and we enjoyed taking our snowmen home to put on our Christmas trees. We practised our songs for the Christmas service in church on Friday, the children all remembered the signs.

In Computing, we have been looking at Scratch Jr. We have learnt how to add, remove and move sprites and create instructions.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
