Visit to Claremount Church

Music Lesson

In music we explored untuned instruments and played them along to the songs that we have been learning. We showed curiosity as we tried each instrument, keeping the steady beat and singing at the same time!

Forest School

This week we had our first visits to our Forest School, based at top site. The children all explored the forest taking part in the zip wire, digging area, mud kitchen, hammock, rope bridge, autumn painting and bug hunting. We even had a hot chocolate and a biscuit. Thank you to all of the grown up helpers, we couldn’t do forest school without you.

Mr Cassidy Visit

Mr Cassidy, our Headteacher, came into our classrooms this week and told us all about himself, his family and his job. The children sat beautifully as Mr Cassidy spoke to them, and then he read his favourite story too. The children asked Mr Cassidy some questions including "How old are you?" "What is your favourite colour?" and "What is your favourite number?"

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Julia Donaldson's latest book "Gruffalo Granny" was released this week. We joined a live stream of Julia reading the story. She also acted out "The Gruffalo". Axel Scheffler also demonstrated how to draw "Gruffalo Granny". The children followed the instructions carefully and created their own masterpieces.
