Summer Term
Our topic for the summer term is 'I wonder... how I stay healthy'. We are going to investigate the children's ideas about how they stay healthy and look at other ways to stay physically and mentally healthy.
Spring Term
Our spring term topic is 'I wonder... how the world is filled with colour'. We will follow the children's interest and explore the children's ideas about colour and how they see it in the world around them.
Little City Visit
Our exciting trip this term has been an experience that visited school. Little City came with lots of role play themes for us to act out. Here are some photos of the children in Ash class acting and playing.
Trip to Forest School
On a sunny day this week we took a walk up to forest school to look for signs of spring and have some outdoor fun. We built dens, read stories, played in the mud kitchen, and went for a look in the pond. In the pond we saw frog spawn. We spoke about the life cycle of frogs where children were able to say that the frog spawn was laid by the frogs.
Science Week
Across school we have been focusing on science this week. Our science experiments we based around colour to link with our topic 'I wonder... how the world is filled with colour'. We completed three colour based experiments; colour changing flowers, skittles experiment and growing a rainbow. The children made predictions before the experiments and shared their ideas after the experiments about the results.
Colour Parade
The children loved showing the parents their hard work from our Spring topic 'I wonder... how the world is filled with colours. We took our colour mixing work, our Kandinsky art work and our DT projects tie dye t-shirts to the parade to show parents.
World Book Day
Children have really enjoyed dressing up as their favourite characters for World Book Day. During the day children enjoyed engaging in provision based play about different stories that we love reading in class. The children have had great fun acting out the stories using small world toys.
Autumn Term
Our topic this term is 'I wonder... how we look after our world?'. We will follow the children's interest and explore the children's ideas about how we look after the planet and the people and animals that live on it.
Christmas Crime Scene
The children came into school to find the sand area closed due to a huge mess! The children quickly started to speculate who it could be. The children looked closely at the evidence and what they could see. We went on a hunt around school for more evidence and to question the adults. We came back to class and wrote down all the evidence and who we thought it was and why. Our class elf left a note saying he had caught a video of what had happened. We watched the video and made wanted posters of the intruder. The children have had a great day investigating the classroom crime!

Christmas in Finland
As part of our whole school topic Christmas traditions in other countries we focused on Finland. We looked at gingerbread houses and how people in Finland bake, decorate and have a gingerbread house competition. We designed gingerbread houses, made gingerbread houses as part of a DT project and have even had fun decorating them in our table groups.
Snow! ❄️
The children have loved playing in the snow this afternoon. They’ve explored the texture of the snow and what happens when they hold on to it for too long.
