On Thursday, Oak Class went on our Autumn Term trip to The Castle Museum  to learn more about our topic of Crime and Punishment. 

We explored the whole museum, taking a visit to Kirkgate and doing a little Victorian Street shopping!

We took part in 2 workshops, learning more about Dick Turpin and what jails and prisons were like back in the 1700’s!

A great day had by all!

The reception children have settled into school brilliantly…you would never have guessed they are new to the school. Our buddy system is working really well. The most important part of any child starting school is to be happy and feel safe in their environment. Our children are certainly full of smiles. 

I love teaching reception. It amazes me how much children develop, not just as little people but academically. Reception are currently learning letter sounds but before you know it they will be reading words and developing a real love of books! Like the older members of their class they have been enjoying activities based on the story ‘Supertato’. What a brilliant painting of the Evil Pea!! 

Reception parents will receive their log in instructions for Tapestry next week. This works similarly to Seesaw. It is an invaluable insight into your child’s learning experiences at school.

On Friday 13th September, we celebrated Roald Dahl Day! The children in Willow class had a go at creating and describing a new member of Matilda’s class. In the afternoon, the children sketched their character or one of their favourite Roald Dahl characters in true Quentin Blake style! They used watercolours to add a pop of colour.

Welcome back, everyone. We have had very busy first day back, with lots going on. It was lovely to welcome our new starters, together with children in other year groups who have joined us too. Here are a few photos of what school looks like at the moment. All ready for us to learn! 

At our staff meeting yesterday, we decided that a different member of staff would update this newsfeed every week, so watch out for news from around school as the year progresses!
