Fun in the Foundation Stage

By M Hanratty4th May 2017

I prepared this slideshow for a meeting to show some of the activities the children have doing so far this academic year. They made me smile so much seeing the smiles on their faces and how much they’d grown.
Hope they make you smile too 🙂

Foundation Stage in Wonderland

By M Hanratty3rd March 2017

To celebrate world book day, the children in the Foundation Stage took party in activities based around the story of “Alice in Wonderland”. We baked jam tarts, had a Mad Hatter’s tea party (wearing our own hats that we had made) and created our own Wonderlands using different materials.

One of the highlights of the day was sharing a story with a Year 3 friend. The children loved hearing the children reading some of their favourite stories to them.

That children (and the staff) had a fantastic day!

Pancake fun

By M Hanratty1st March 2017

Yesterday, Nursery and Reception class made some delicious pancakes from scratch. The children looked at the ingredients needed as well as the equipment they would be using. Once the children had mixed the batter together, we cooked them in the pan. We really enjoyed watching them flip up into the air.
Not to forget the important part, eating them! The children took their pancake to the topping station so they could make their treat extra tasty.
Well done Nursery and Reception!

Story Time with James

By M Hanratty2nd February 2017

Reception have been learning all about the story behind Chinese New Year. It is a story called “The Great Race” involving the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The children were tasked with retelling the story, focusing on the beginning, middle and end.

We could believe the amazing story that James produced. What a fantastic job!

Gift for Granny

By C Marshall9th December 2016

Today saw the last collecting day for our GIFT FOR GRANNY appeal.

This was a new venture this year and one which I have been over whelmed by. As a community, our parents always support the school and every charity we ask, however despite this being a time of the years when so many other things are happening, we have had an outstanding reponse to this charity.

Tonight the gifts have been collected and I can only imagine how many lives the presents will brighten during this festive season.

Thanks you so much.

Our School Council help to pack the gifts.
