We have just come to the end of our 'addition and subtraction' unit in maths. We are so proud of the amazing work the children have been doing! Reception have been looking and lots of different ways they can add and take away. We've used beanbags and hoops, numicon, drawing dots and counting on fingers. We've been working hard on [...]
This afternoon, Class 1 were invited to join Class 2 for a peer reading session! Class 2 had made storybooks for their own version of 'The Three Little Pigs'. They changed the animals within their stories to fit in with their Australian topic! We heard stories such as; The Three Little Koalas, and The Three Little Joey's. Year 2s read [...]

'If you were having a [...]
After a busy afternoon rehearsing in the village hall and getting back just in time for assembly...we forgot to give out Sammy! There was a bit of panic on the playground as we remembered 'I hope he isn't lonely!!' ☹️ No panic! He's warming up by the fire (with a new friend) followed by a well needed wash!! 😃 [...]
This week we started reading 'Mr Wolf's Pancakes'. In the story, Mr Wolf asks his neighbours (Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs...) to help him make some pancakes. They were all very rude and told Mr Wolf they didn't want to help him! So, we wrote letters to Mr Wolf telling him we were sorry that he didn't [...]
