Thank you from the School Council for the amazing support towards the own clothes/ice pop Monday. The children were very keen to count the donations for our forest school area. We will send details of the amount raised as soon as they have counted up all of the donations.

Own clothes and ice pops will continue each Monday for the rest of this term.

In forest school this week Willow Class collected natural objects and created pictures using them.

The children had a wonderful time!

The children love learning outdoors.

Cherry Class have had a wonderful start to our final half term together! We managed to find some sunshine between the showers this week and take our learning outside the classroom. In PSHE we have been learning about growing and changing so we completed some life cycles using chalk outside on our playground and also created some life cycle booklets. We also enjoyed getting active and creative outside using the outdoor provision and playing on the bikes and scooters.

A great first week back for our children - straight back to our routines!

Children have demonstrated perseverance and focus in completing organising challenges and sharing and fine motor skills with their friends during water play.

We have started making ferris wheels after looking at fairgrounds for Design and Technology and written our final pieces of writing for our story 'Toys in Space'.

Larch Class continuing their hard work from last term and creating their own information boards to discuss the problem of plastic pollution.

What a lovely first week back we have had! It was wonderful to have them all back in such good spirits and ready to continue with our learning.

We started off on the front foot, finishing off some of our writing from last term and the children enjoyed creating their own information sheets about plastic pollution - producing some wonderfully persuasive pieces.

We also spent time completing our assessments, where the children showed real resilience and good understanding, despite a week away from learning. A huge credit to them.

Elsewhere, we finished off our work on Sikhism - with the children showing a good understanding of the world religion - as well as completed the introductory lesson of our DT topic for the term, to design their own book sleeve.

We have had a busy week in Oak Class! Our week has been full of mindfulness and transition: the Mental Health Team have been in to deliver transition mental healthcare to our Year 5/6s. The children have been learning about how not all worries are real worries and what they can do if they are feeling anxious.

We have been learning more about Buddhism, and what makes us content and happy in life. We have also been engaging in meditation and drawing our own Madala patterns.

Finally, our writeaway task is underway with writing a biography about Jacques Cousteau- we have been writing our lists using colons and semi-colons.

We have had a lovely start to Summer 2! This week, we have spent time settling back into our routines and embedding our school values.

In maths, we have looked at capacity. The children have enjoyed the practical element of this unit of work and we have made great progress with using different units of measure.

We have spent a lot of time working on our SLC targets this week. This has included playing lots of turn taking games as well as engaging in group discussions.

Well done everyone. Let's keep up the hard work for the next 6 weeks!

The School Council will be organising various fundraising events in the coming weeks to raise money to buy a new Outdoor Mud Kitchen. The children enjoy spending time in the Forest - they can explore the natural surroundings and use their imagination to play and be creative. However, the Mud Kitchen needs replacing - it is old and well used.

In addition to buying a new kitchen the children would love to have some extra items such as:

Kitchen utensils – used pots/pans/kitchen tools.

Storage boxes – to store equipment when not in use.

Wooden pallets – the children do enjoy making things.

Tarpaulin - to cover the table and bench when not in use.

If you can help in any way or would like more information, please contact school.

Thank you very much

Dorothy Foster
