For our last Welly Thursday session this term we had lots of Christmas fun. We listened to Christmas stories, played some Christmas movement games and took part in some Christmas go noodles. Then we made our own Christmas trees in the tuft spot using lots of different materials to decorate them. Don’t they look wonderful? 🎄🎅 #christmasatwhittonstall #earlyears ... See MoreSee Less

Both of our schools would like to say a massive thank you to Jan Mitchell Properties for their incredibly kind donation, which helped us take our pupils to see Sleeping Beauty last week.
The children had an amazing time and were completely engrossed in the show – cheering the heroes, booing the baddies, dancing and singing in their seats, and laughing along every step of the way (oh yes they did! 😉). The panto humour had everyone in stitches, and the pupils are still talking about it now.
Your generosity helped create a truly magical experience and wonderful memories for our pupils across both schools. Thank you for supporting our schools and helping us bring learning, laughter, and a little bit of panto magic to life 💙

Christmas themed play and exploration enjoyed in class 1 this week. The children made their own ‘snow’ and practised their counting skills making Christmas trees using small manipulatives. They have been innovated stories about Father Christmas and learning about the conventions of a letter as they wrote their own letters and lists.

What a fantastic Welly Thursday session we had today, the children learned all about igloos. We discussed what an igloo is, how we build igloos, who lives/stays in igloos and how we can stay warm in something made from something so cold. The children designed their own igloos and then they were challenged to work as team to build one using the outdoor materials. They loved going inside to play when it was completed ❄️🌨️🗻 #whittonstall #winterfun ... See MoreSee Less

Nursery and Reception came up with some fantastic ideas for innovated stories based on the tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. The most popular, by far, was changing the characters to the kangaroos! They came up with amazing adjectives to describe them. These included powerful, hairy, fluffy, strong and chunky! #talkforwriting #innovation ... See MoreSee Less
