In the nursery, we have been exploring different textures through exciting sensory activities! The children have loved getting messy with shaving foam, squishing and stretching cooked spaghetti and smashing ice to uncover hidden surprises.

These hands-on activities are not only enjoyable but also provide wonderful opportunities for the children to explore a variety of textures, from soft and slimy to hard and slippery. Through play, they are expanding their vocabulary by learning new words to describe how things feel, which supports their language development while engaging their senses and creativity.

Christmas came to Reception with a fabulous Christmas Jumper Day and a Christmas Party. The children played musical statues and musical bumps and danced the afternoon away. All the children and staff had a very merry festive time.

Year Three

In our Design and Technology lessons, we designed and made a shaduf. This was used in Ancient Egyptian times to get water from the River Nile to water crops. We had to make a sturdy base and attach a lever with a bucket on. We tested our shadufs and evaluated them.

Year Six

Year Six have completed the Bikeability training. The course lasted five sessions where children are taught to ride their bikes safely on the roads. Despite some very cold weather, Year Six have really enjoyed this experience and hopefully they have taken on board the road safety lessons that they have learnt.
