'Over the rainbow' knowledge organiser
Early Years have been hands on with a team of creepy crawly, scaly, reptile, furry and feathered creatures as part of our theme, 'Crazy Creatures'. Each class had an exciting morning connecting with the animals and finding out lots of interesting facts about them. We met Echo the Owl, Fi Fi the lizard, Remi the corn snake, Kingsley the boa constrictor, Sonic the millipede and Sunshine the ferret. Despite some of the children being a little wary of our unusual visitors, we were proud of how resilient everyone was when handling the creatures and in the case of Sunshine the ferret, even having a sniff of her unique smell. A big thank you to Creature Teachers for such a memorable experience and helping our EYFS children feel so comfortable and brave!

The children in Early Years have been busy decorating home-made Christmas cupcakes. At 3pm on Wed 13th December, EYFS will be singing songs with their tealight holders in the outside classroom for their families to come and watch. A big thank you to Friends of Heatherlands for supplying the battery operated tealights to go in the lanterns for the children to keep. Afterwards, EYFS will be selling their Christmas cupcakes as well as bags of reindeer food. There are plenty of cupcakes for siblings too! Cupcakes and reindeer food will be a £1 each and all proceeds will go back into EYFS continuous provision.

A big thank you to Greggs Bakery on Ashley Road for helping our Early Years' children find not just one but lots of Gingerbread Men. The children spotted the clues along the way and were rewarded with a tasty treat at the end. There was a big debate about which bit to eat first but we all agreed they tasted delicious!
'Once upon a time' knowledge organiser Autumn 2023
We joined up with Sky Access All Arts to have a creative week, not only exploring the visual Arts but other creative Arts as well such as dance, drama, music, singing and photography. Each year group has shared what they did through out the week. It was a very creative and fun week across the school.
