Our children have been involved in a wide range of learning experiences focusing on learning about different cultures, trying different foods as well as learning to listen and repeat a simple beat.

16 Oct Learning Week Ending Friday 9th and Friday 16th October

Our children have been involved in an extensive range of learning experiences including: learning about the effects of heat when making hot chocolate on an open fire, to developing climbing skills and the ability to jump from a height. Additionally, we have had a number of children learning about different cultures and in so doing cooking a range of foods including making dumplings, fried plantain and jollof rice; a rice dish from West Africa. We have also had some children learning about how to re-tell a familiar story and developing a sense of empathy as well as other children learning how to create secondary colours.

Our apologies for not uploading the images last week, as our internet went down.

Please remember if your child will be four years of age by the 31st August 2021, you need to apply to eadmissions by Friday 15th January 2021 for a Primary School place. If you need any assistance in applying for a school place, please let us know.

We had our full governing body meeting on Tuesday 13th October, please see our website for more information on the key points discussed. Finally; the school will be closed on Friday 23rd October for staff training relating to race and identity and children will return to school on Monday 2nd November.  Do have a look at a fabulous video of a parent and child singing the nursery song: Head, shoulder’s knees and toes in Bengali!

Excellent! We would love to learn other songs in different languages!

We wish you all a very safe and happy weekend.
