NURSERY
September 2025
Nursery enjoyed their first Forest School session. We went to our outdoor classroom and learnt the rules of Forest School in order to keep ourselves and others safe. Then we got to explore. We looked carefully to see what was living in the pond, found acorns that we collected for the squirrels, rubbed and smelt a variety of herbs growing, explored under the trees and found a hole in the leaves that we think could be a hedgehog house.
RECEPTION
September 2025
Reception children learnt the rules of LOtC to keep ourselves and others safe. They enjoyed their Geography and PE lessons outside in the sun, creating beautiful autumnal still lifes and playing their favourite outdoor games.
YEAR 1
YEAR 2
September 2025
In our LOTC lesson today we spent some time learning about the difference between natural and man-made objects. We then collected different natural resources from outside and made our own piece of artwork. We then showed everyone our designs on the whiteboard and spoke about what we had made.
YEAR 3
September 2025
As part of the Egyptian History topic, children have been looking at the way Ancient Egyptians used symbols and pictures to communicate. Children practised using Hieroglyphs to communicate their name.
YEAR 4
September 2025
In our firstLOTC session this year, Year 4 had to build team work by working in pairs to make a paper aeroplane. We then enjoyed testing out how well the aeroplanes worked! We also took our maths learning outside and used objects such as twigs and leaves in our calculations. We also investigated the outside area for signs of autumn such as acorns, fallen leaves and conkers.
YEAR 5
September 2025
Year 5 have been enjoying their outdoor learning this month. Armed with their sketch books and pencils, Year 5 took their learning out onto the field to learn how to sketch a landscape. They began to develop their observational and creative skills focusing on the horizon and where the different elements were in relation to it.
