Autumn 2 2024

Week beginning 11th November

Early Years began the week learning about Remembrance Day, making our own poppies and even taking part in the 2 minutes silence.

This week was Nursery Rhyme Week. Each day we sang a rhyme and participated in lots of activities around the theme of that rhyme. This years songs are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald, The Big Ship Sails, Incy Wincy Spider, and 5 Current Buns. We have made twinkling stars, animal masks, created boats to see if they would float or sink, made spiders and webs, and decorated currant buns.

Thank you to the parents and grandparents who were able to join us for our Reading Café – we love it when you join us in school for our events!

Week beginning 4th November 2024

What another busy fun filled week in early Years! We had our first Piccolo Music session of the term. We have learned all about Diwali – Festival of Lights - and made our own Diya candles and rangoli patterns. We also took part in lots of Bonfire Night activities, making art work with lots of colours and sparkle, learning who Guy Fawkes was and what he tried to do. We talked about how we can stay safe when watching fireworks and holding sparklers.

Our cube jar was overflowing so we had our reward – a surprise visit from Elsa, Anna and Spiderman! We all had our photo taken with them, they joined in dancing to our favourite songs and they told us all about themselves. Well done Early Years – a very well deserved treat for you all!
