English in Nursery, by Mrs Andrews
Date: 7th Nov 2025 @ 3:57pm
In Nursery, we are always developing our communication, language, and literacy skills. We talk with our friends as we independently choose our learning, and every three weeks we explore a new topic book. We take part in activities such as retelling the story, creating story maps, and labelling pictures with our names.
We also enjoy making up our own stories and bringing them to life using musical instruments and actions. Throughout the classroom, there are plenty of opportunities for writing in all areas. Each week, we learn new vocabulary linked to our current topic.

Bread Baking 5H!, by Miss Healey
Date: 28th Mar 2025 @ 2:37pm
Year 5 have had a very exciting week this week! They have, over the course of several weeks, designed their own bread for a specific purpose. This week was baking week! The children used a lot of independence to select their own ingredients, weigh them out, knead the dough and shape their designs. The bread came out wonderfully and smelled amazing! While it was still warm from the oven, the children taste-tested their creations (with some very mixed reactions!) I am very proud of their creations and they have all got a piece to take home so I'm sure families will be too!
