This month Reception
classes have been visiting ‘
Pantelimon Farm ‘ and we all
had a lot of fun enjoying
the warm weather, feeding
the animals and riding the
ponies.
After settling in, Reception classes are
ready to take some homework at home, We
will send two assignments per week, Nu-
meracy and Literacy.
Reception A will be holding their first As-
sembly about
’World Farm
Animals Day’
fingers cross!!
This month Nursery
have been learning all
about ourselves, our
families, our school. We
have done lots of fun
activities like hand and
foot printing with paint
and making paper plate
faces using wool, but-
tons and paper. We have
also looked at photos of
our families and of our-
selves as tiny little ba-
bies, we look very
different! Our current
topic is colours and
shapes and we are
learning to recognize
the different colours in
the environment around
us. We have done lots
of painting and printing.
We also played with dif-
ferent coloured play-
dough and then mixed it
to make new colours like
blue and yellow play-
dough together makes
green! We are going on
our first trip this week
to the Farm at Panteli-
mon and we are looking
forward to seeing what
animals are there, what
colour they are and
having a ride on the
pony!

In Year 1 the children have been very busy!
They have been listening to stories! Their
favourite was ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’.
Some of the activities included sequencing
the story, drawing pictures of the different
settings, writing warning signs for the bear
cave and using playdough to make the char-
acters from the story.
In Geography the children have been finding out
about different places that Barnaby Bear has vis-
ited. Barnaby Bear wrote them a letter from Ant-
arctica asking them to design him a new suitcase
because his own was becoming worn and damaged.
Barnaby Bear thought the children did a great job
when he saw their designs! Barnaby Bear also vis-
ited Egypt and showed the children pictures from
his trip which they talked about then wrote and
drew what it was like there.
In Year 2, the children fresh back from their
holidays dived into a seaside topic in Literacy
and Geography. The children learnt the sea-
side vocabulary and shared their experiences
from their seaside holidays and made lovely
displays for the Key Stage 1 hall.
Our first visit of the year will be on Thursday, 30th September. Year 2
will be exploring the Botanical Gardens to understand how different
plants can be found in different habitats, this relates to our Science
topic. During our Science lessons we will be planting seeds and the
children will be observing how the seeds produce new plants.

Year 3
Already this term we have been
extremely busy in Year 3. 3R started our
school assemblies with a fantastic
musical performance of Snow White,
which was a joy to watch for pupils,
teachers and parents alike. Once again
congratulations to all of 3R for all your
hard work and efforts you were
fantastic. We have just all enjoyed our
first trip of the year with a visit to the
Art Gallery, to look and study the
Portrait Paintings there. This links in
with our art topic of ‘Portraying
Relationships’ we all really enjoyed
looking at the paintings and trying to
work out who was who and how they
knew each other. We had a picnic lunch
in the park and many of us carried on
our drawings there, although some of
us became fascinated by the rocks and
soils on offer-which is our current
Science Topic, proving it doesn’t matter
where we are, we are always learning in
Year 3.
