• Reception are inspired by Georges Braque!

  Tue 21 Oct 2025

  This week Reception is learning about the artist Georges Braque. We are taking inspiration from his work and creating our own masterpieces. Yesterday, we practiced printing techniques to create textured backgrounds. Today, we learned about primary colours and experimented with colour mixing. Tomorrow, we will be cutting out abstract shapes from our colour mixed papers and using them to collage onto our textured backgrounds. We are very excited to see how they turn out!  

  

• Nursery are imaginative!

  Mon 20 Oct 2025

  Nursery have started learning about birthdays this week. We did a 'Let's Say' and pretended it was Mummy Bear's birthday. Everybody thought of different ideas about how we could celebrate. We then enjoyed writing invitations and then having a pretend party in the home corner.

• Year 2 are celebrating vision and values days…

  Thu 16 Oct 2025

  Today we are celebrating Vision and Values Day - we have discussed our school values and the British values on our values wheel. Our day has focussed on the British values of Tolerance and Mutual Respect - the children made many insightful comments about them importance of feeling part of a group and celebrating each others differences. The story of ‘Along Came Different’ supported our learning and we experienced what it would be like to be in certain groups that don’t accept each other. Luckily, this experiment did not last long and we were soon all back sitting together, with our friends, having fun! This afternoon, we have created our own ‘being different is the best thing ever’ collages, full of our favourite things!
