In Reception, the children learned about old and new transport. We looked at pictures of old and modern cars, buses, planes, trains and bikes. We talked about how transport has changed over time. The children shared what they noticed, including differences in how vehicles look and how they move. This helped them understand the past and present and develop their speaking skills.

Baking Gingerbread Men!, by Miss Sheldon
Date: 5th Mar 2026 @ 12:44pm
This week in our EYFS class we have been learning about the story of the Gingerbread Man. The children really enjoyed listening to the story and joining in with the repeated phrase, “Run, run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!”
One of the highlights of the week was making our own gingerbread men. The children helped to mix the ingredients, roll out the dough and use cutters to make the shapes. The children were very excited to see their finished gingerbread men and were proud of what they had made. We even got to sit and eat them in the sun!!

We also measured different animals from our small world area. The children enjoyed exploring and discussing which objects were taller, shorter, longer, or smaller.
It has been lovely to see the children so engaged and excited while learning about measurement through fun, hands-on activities!

Safer Internet Day in Nursery, by Mrs Andrews
Date: 13th Feb 2026 @ 3:50pm
🌍 Safer Internet Day
Today we joined in with Safer Internet Day.
We talked about what the internet is and how we use it to watch videos, play games and learn new things.
We also learned that sometimes the internet can trick us. We looked at pictures of fruits and animals and sorted them into real and fake. Some of the pictures looked very funny and a bit silly! We talked about how some pictures are changed on a computer and are not real.
The children learned that if they are unsure about something they see online, they should always tell a grown-up.
We are learning how to be safe and sensible when using the internet.

Through creative play, map work, small world activities, and art, the children developed their understanding of the world while building new vocabulary and confidence in sharing their ideas.

In Reception, the children explore the exciting concept of floating and sinking through hands-on water play and investigation both indoors and outdoors. Using a variety of everyday objects, they make predictions, test their ideas, and talk about what they notice. These playful experiments help to develop early scientific thinking, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and new vocabulary such as “float,” “sink,” “heavy,” and “light.” Through exploration and discussion, children build confidence in asking questions and sharing their discoveries.

Year 1 RE, by Miss Weller
Date: 10th Feb 2026 @ 3:55pm
In Religious Education, the children have been learning about Who is Jewish and how do they live? They explored what it means to be Jewish and learned about the synagogue as a special place of worship. The children were introduced to the Torah as the Jewish holy text and discovered that it is written in Hebrew. They also learned about important Jewish celebrations, including Hanukkah and Shabbat, and discussed why these times are special for Jewish families. Through stories from the Bible and the Torah, the children learned how stories can teach people about beliefs and values. To support their learning, the children created their own dreidels, learning about how this traditional toy is used during Hanukkah. This topic helped the children develop an understanding of religious beliefs, practices, and respect for different ways of life.
