We also had a wonderful time in the forest, searching for rabbit footprints, and were delighted when the Easter Bunny rewarded us with chocolates for finding them all. Back in the classroom, the children have especially enjoyed the sensory tray, which has been filled with baby rabbits, chicks and nests.

Out in the forest, the children have also been exploring a variety of other habitats, learning how different creatures live, hide, and survive in the wild. Their curiosity and teamwork have shone through each session.

And of course, no Forest School experience would be complete without a little campfire magic! The children enjoyed toasting marshmallows and making delicious s’mores — a well-earned treat after all their hard work.

It’s been wonderful to see every child fully engaged, supporting one another, and growing in confidence outdoors. We’re incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved together this half-term.

Inside the children have had the opportunity to use the paint rollers and mix different colours together whilst rolling the paint up the paper. For snack this week, we have been having toast and crumpets with jam. The children have been very patient waiting for them to pop up from the toaster! 

In our role play area this week, we have had the hairdresser tools out. The children have enjoyed using all the hair tools to wash and put their friend's hair up. In the maths area, the children were asked "How tall can you build your tower up?" The children did a great job at balancing and counting their blocks! Outside, we have stacked the crates and the tyres so the children can climb up. We have also created a ramp and gave the children a challenge to push the cars up the ramp! 

It was heart-warming to see so many of our children participating in the parade through their involvement in different community organisations such as Beavers, Cubs, Rainbows and Brownies. Their respectful contribution helped honour all those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We will never forget.

Despite Ash taking the glory in the house tug of war and Oak leading the way in the photography competition, Rowan have regained the house cup for the autumn 1 half term.

Each week, our Achievement Assembly highlights the hard work, creativity, and progress taking place both inside and outside the classroom. From sporting triumphs and academic milestones to musical talent and personal growth, we proudly recognise and applaud every success.

A huge well done to all those who received a certificate today.

Alongside our creative activities, we've also been focusing on important social skills like sharing and taking turns. The children have done a wonderful job settling in and getting to know one another.

Well done, Apples, what a fantastic start to the term!
