Squirrels - Year R

Superhero Day!

We hope you all enjoyed the hero day and the making in the afternoon, it was lovely to see you all and to see the children so engaged, hope you like these pictures of our day, Mr Cowie

Angels, Angels, Angels everywhere ! (and glitter too!)

Squirrels have been getting ready for Christmas by making decorations and cards and learning our dances and songs to retell the Nativity story. We are very excited! Indeed we are looking forward to a Wriggly Nativity!

Hope you are enjoying Advent too, The Squirrels.

During this week we had a visit from Mr Ellis the Baker who brought lots of dough with him. We all enjoyed kneading and rolling the dough out and building up our harvest loaves. These loaves were then taken to the church as part of the harvest display.

Squirrels Senses Walk

The Squirrels went on a senses walk today to explore God's Creation. We touched the grass, listened to the birds, looked at our reflections and felt the leaves and trees, as well as smelled the flowers and tasted bananas.

Mrs Silk Pays a Visit!

Year R had as lovely day today when Mrs Silk visited us for a quiz about our school. We asked her lots of different questions about our values, about what she liked, about counting and numbers and about phonics. She even had to wear a blindfold and describe some objects and ride a bike around the playground. We had a lovely day and we were proud of how well the children had settled into school.

Happy Lunchtime and Empty Plates

We have had a lovely first lunch time with children ready for their lunch, happily eating and with empty plates! Bye for now, The Squirrels!

Me and My School

We have been settling the Squirrels into school with lots of playing and lots of stories and songs. We have been learning the rules of school and making friends through play. We hope you liked the portraits in the curriculum letter, all of which were taken on your child's first day at school, so we hope they will be a momento. Bye from the Squirrels, check back each week for pics of what we have been up to!
