A marvellous, mathematical time was had by all across the school today as we exhibited our 'Crazy Rockstar' hairstyles all in aid of an amazing cause; the NSPCC. The children looked FABULOUS and had obviously put a lot of effort into creating their styles. They also took part in many maths related games and activities as well as a national times table competition on Times Table Rockstars.
Our newly appointed maths ambassadors treated us to an assembly with some fun competitions.
Thank you everyone for your support - we raised £140 for the NSPCC.
Fire Fighter visit to Foundation Stage
Date: 5th Feb 2025 @ 4:42pm
Linked to our discussions about 'People who help us', we had a visit from our local fire fighters. It was fun to see the huge fire engine and some of us even got the chance to squirt the hose pipe, before an emergency call came over on the radio. Unfortunately, they had to leave quickly to attend a real emergancy but it was exciting to watch them drive away with their sirens sounding! It inspired us to dress up as firefighters with our friends and we even made a fire engine using the large crates, to support our play.

Police visit to Foundation stage

This week, we had an exciting visit from our local community police linked to our book of the week, 'Emergency'. They told us about their different roles, showed us their special equipment and let us try on some clothing. We then had a look at their police car and even sat inside with the sirens on...it was very loud! Their visit inspired us to set up our own role-play police station and we had such fun taking on the different roles with our friends.

We enjoy using Tales Toolkit in our Nursery. This week, the children had a lot of fun creating their own stories inspired by the characters from the focus story 'Shark in the Park' by Nick Sharratt. They were able to identify the characters, setting, problem, and solution. Some of the ideas that the children came up with were water angels, fishing, rowing a boat to get away from the shark, recycling our rubbish to protect the creatures under the sea, and a friendly shark.
