What an amazing day our Class 2 children had at Acton Farm🚜🌾
We got hands-on with farm life and helped feed some very special animals – Gingy the pig, Hilda, Conker and Bramble the donkeys, Daisy the cow, and all of the chickens too! The children showed such care and confidence around the animals. 🐷🐴🐄🐔
One of the highlights was having a go in the big tractor – lots of excited faces all round! 🚜 We also became soil scientists for the day, exploring microbes in the soil and learning just how important they are for helping things grow.
The creativity continued as we built large bug hotels using sticks and wool, creating cosy habitats for insects. We then headed off on a mini beast hunt to see what we could find, before taking a closer look at our discoveries under the microscopes. 🔎🪲
It was a fantastic day full of learning, exploring and fun. Well done, Class 2 – you were brilliant farm explorers! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

Nursery and reception received a letter this week from Little Red Riding Hood. She needed their help to find the mean and hungry wolf! It really sparked the children’s imagination and role play. They went on a wolf hunt, created their own ‘Wanted’ posters and built a trap (just in case they found him!) They are very excited about following the clues and eventually finding him! ...

🎨✨ What an AMAZING Art Week in Class 2! ✨🎨
Class 2 have had such a fantastic time exploring the world of printmaking, inspired by the wonderful work of William Morris. We learned how he created beautiful, detailed, repeating patterns — and then had a go at making some of our own!
We experimented with printing using everyday classroom objects (you’d be amazed at the patterns we discovered 👀), created our own collage and watercolour backgrounds, and then designed and built our very own collagraph printing blocks.
Using our blocks, we carefully printed symmetrical, repeating patterns just like William Morris. The creativity, teamwork and resilience shown throughout the week has been incredible — we are so proud of every single artist in Class 2! 🌟
Well done, Class 2 — you are true printmaking superstars! 🖌️🎉 ... See MoreSee Less

Nursery and Reception had great fun this week as we explored Ouseburn on our trip. We visited the farm and Willow the cow was a big hit with the children. We saw a selection of animals and reptiles and talked about their different features. We then enjoyed time at Seven Stories with a workshop exploring a story and the woodland habitats of the characters. ... See MoreSee Less

Update
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the extremely poor snow conditions in our area, we are experiencing significant travel disruptions this morning. As a result, a limited number of staff members have been able to safely make it into school.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. At this time, we are operating with reduced staffing and are adjusting classroom coverage and activities accordingly. Students who are present will be supervised at all times, and we will focus on structured learning and review activities where possible.
We understand that some families may also be facing difficult travel conditions. If you determine that it is unsafe for your child to travel to school today, please notify the main office.
We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will communicate any additional updates as needed. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation during these challenging weather conditions.
Please stay safe and travel carefully. ... See MoreSee Less
