This week Ladybirds were very lucky to have a visit from a parent who volunteers within the Army Cadet Force. This supported their learning around people who help us and some of the important jobs within the armed forces. They listened well and got to explore some of the equipment.
As part of their learning this term, the Reception classes are taking part in Drawing Club. This is an approach to learning which stretches the children’s imaginations and develops their skills in mark making, vocabulary and mathematics. The children have a focus story each week, which last week was The Three Little Pigs. As part of this the children drew the pig’s houses and learnt the vocabulary to describe them. Well done Reception!
Wishing all of our families a lovely Christmas break. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 7th January.
The children were so excited to have a visit from Father Christmas today and even got an early Christmas present each!
The children have been busy making wonderful Christmas decorations which are now displayed in the school hall.
This week we were happy to have Stagecoach Theatre Group in school, running workshops with Years 1-4. The children had a wonderful time in their sessions and learnt some great dance routines!
Thank you for supporting our Children in Need fundraising! The children, and staff(!), have found brilliant ways to embrace the Children in Need theme for our non-uniform day - we've never seen so many spots!

A huge thank you to those who gave up their time at the weekend to help tidy the school Wildlife Area. Massive progress was made to clear the area and chop back the brambles and ivy around the FTDS shed. Thanks to all the families who helped on Sunday and we hope you enjoyed the morning!
Last week Year 1 had a lovely walk in the sunshine into Royston, to look at geographical features both human and physical. The children pointed out different buildings and landmarks and drew a sketch of what they could see. There was even time for a quick play stop in Priory Gardens before walking back to school.
Thank you to all the grown-ups who accompanied them and to the Year 1 children who behaved beautifully.
In Reception, the topic at the moment is Autumn. This week they have been learning about how flour is made and how a windmill works. To support their learning and to help the children develop kneading and pinching skills, they have been making hedgehog bread rolls.
We think they look fantastic, well done Little Tigers and Red Robins!
