Harvest festival

On Friday morning we took all the tins we had brought in from home over to the main hall to put into boxes for the local Foodbank. Then we had a short assembly thinking about harvest. After that we decorated the fantastic picture of harvest foods with all the loose change we brought to school. We were the first year group to do this but by the end of the day the picture was covered with money!! Please look out for news on where the money was given.
A BIG thank you for your generosity! We have learned through looking at the important festival of Harvest that it's good to be thankful and it's good to be able to give to others that need it!













Images from the week

We made 'Gruffalo crumble' this week! It was really scrumptious!!












When we went on our Autumn woodland walk we collected lots of Autumn, leaves, twigs etc and this week we made Autumn windows out of the objects - they are displayed in school and look lovely!

Autumn woodland walk

Today we put our wellies on and went for our first woodland walk to look for signs of Autumn (and to maybe find the Gruffalo!). We walked in partners and made sure we had listening ears to help keep us safe! We found red, yellow, brown, orange and green leaves all over the floor as they had fallen off the trees and collected them and sticks/branches to take back to school.








Click on the video clip below to hear lots of happy squeals and laughter and smiley faces! Having fun in the woods!










Look what we found! - rubbish! We know that it's dangerous to leave rubbish in the woods as it could hurt all the animals that live there - we told our teachers that we need to put it in a bin!



Good job we had our wellies on so that we could walk through the thick squelchy mud - great fun!





We loved our first woodland walk of the year and can't wait to go back when it's Winter! Mrs Carter and Mrs Abel and all our helpers were so proud of us as we listened carefully and were so well behaved. Some of us thought we heard the Gruffalo but we didn't find him! What a lot of fun we had today!

Fun in the sun

We made the most of the beautiful sunny weather this week and went down the Nursery yard to use the bikes, trikes, scooters, slides, seesaws and climbing frames. It was lovely to be out in the fresh air and we were very good at taking turns to have a go on all the exciting equipment.
