Dear Parent / Carer,

As part of our topic on ‘It’s Getting cold Outside’ and ‘Autumn’, we will be looking at nocturnal and woodland animals. 

On Thursday 4^th December we have invited the Wise Owl Falconry to visit us with a range of birds including owls to support our understanding of their way of life. To help us fund this visit we are asking for £4.00 to be payable via the app which will include a photo of your child with a bird.

The company and the school have put a detailed risk assessment to ensure all safety measures are in place and in line with government guidelines.

 In the meantime, why not visit their website with your child at

 https://www.wise-owl.co.uk/  and discuss different birds of prey?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Hibbert

Dear families!

We’re excited to share that our children are having a blast during playtime, and the OPAL project is really taking off! This week, we’re on the lookout for any old musical instruments, wellies, and kitchen utensils you no longer use. If you've got any spare items lying around, we’d be absolutely thrilled to give them a new life in our play sessions!

Also, don’t forget to check out some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities from last week! 📸

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! 💖

Good morning families.

All welcome!

Get ready for some festive fun! FS2 and Nursery are thrilled to present our Winter Sing-a-Long!

Mark your calendars for December 15th, with two performances to choose from: 9:30 AM or 2:30 PM.

And here’s the fun part – each ticket will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

Come and join us for a heartwarming celebration filled with song and joy! We can’t wait to see you there!

On 10th December, we’re keeping it simple and sweet—there's no need for donations, just wear your most fabulous Christmas jumper to school!

And don’t forget, a delicious Christmas Dinner will be served in the Dining Room! 🌟

Can’t wait to see everyone’s jumpers and enjoy some great food together!

This week in Nursery, we are reading Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. The children loved the story of the little boy and the penguin and we decided to learn more about these amazing animals!

We created our very own penguins using different shapes and materials — adding beaks, wings, and feet just like in the story.

We also explored ice and light to see where penguins might live and talked about what makes them special.

We loved seeing the children’s creativity and curiosity come to life through play and storytelling!

Yesterday we welcomed the Sheffield Family Hub into our nursery for a wonderful Play, Chat and Learn workshop

Children and parents explored lots of exciting activities together — from creating colourful artwork and sorting woodland animals, to exploring textures, leaves, and storytelling inspired by We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

It was lovely to see so many shared moments of learning through play. A big thank you to the Family Hub team and to all our families who joined us!
