Hedgehogs transition morning 🦔
Thu 29 Jun 2023Hedgehogs transition morning 🦔
Hedgehogs had a lovely time getting to know each other yesterday morning in preparation for September! They started their morning with a 'groove and a move' and enjoyed following a dance along. They then listened to the story 'The Crayons that talked' and talked about how they will become their very own box of crayons next year with everyone being different and unique! They discussed how by everyone being unique 'the picture is complete!' Hedgehogs enjoyed designing their very own crayon for their new classroom display, drawing their faces and writing their names. They then enjoyed playtime on the KS1 playground and loved using the new equipment! To finish the morning, Hedgehogs explored the classroom and enjoyed talking and getting to know their new friends and teachers.😊

Fri 23 Jun 2023Sports day 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️
We had an awesome sports day with lots of different races and of course sportsmanship! It was lovely to see the children supporting one another and cheering for their friends! Parents also got stuck in with the 'Dad's race' being very competitive!
We all performed our sports day dance to 'I'm still standing' choreographed last year by Mrs Lindford-Wood and we all managed to remember it!
Thank you Mr B for organising a fantastic day for all teachers, children and parents!

Hedgehogs, Hares and Woodpeckers learnt about the Jewish Festival Sukkot on their return to school. They learnt about the huts that are made during the festival called Sukkahs.

They built them on a small scale using the construction materials in the classroom and then went and built them outside in the orchard area.

Outdoor library 📚😎
Wed 24 May 2023Outdoor library 📚😎
The children across the school have enjoyed engaging with the outdoor library on the field at lunchtimes. Mrs Rose has been working hard to promote a love of reading in our school and has given our library a 're-vamp' in order to make it more inviting and purposeful. Every Wednesday at lunch, Mrs Rose sets up the outside library with cushions, blankets, beanbags and of course books for the children to enjoy and share with friends and adults. The children enjoy reading to their friends, writing book reviews and even writing their very own stories!
Here are some of the children across the school enjoying our lunchtime outdoor library!

Foxes Colchester zoo trip 🐘🐯🦒
Fri 19 May 2023Foxes Colchester zoo trip 🐘🐯🦒
Foxes had an amazing day at the zoo on Thursday. The teachers were a very proud of how the children represented the school, as they were all fantastically well behaved! Everyone listened carefully, stayed with the group, helped each other, showed ACE manners well as being very good at walking around the whole zoo and carrying their bags.
Foxes explored the enclosures such as the rain forest walk through and iguana forest. They also had an education session called ‘we’re going on a safari’ where they learnt about Africa, the different landscapes within Africa, the big 5 (elephants, lions, rhino, leopards and buffalo) and their habitats as well as what they like to eat. During the session everyone listened to the instructor, showing a keenness to show off animal knowledge from this term using key vocabulary that we had learnt. Once this had finished we enjoyed eating our lunch at a lovely picnic spot. We very so excited to see lots of animals including:
- lions
-tigers
- monkeys (orangatang, chimpanzees, tamarins and lots more!)
- elephants and zebras
- giraffes and rhinos (and a baby rhino)
- meerkats and fish
- Pygmy hippos
- crocodile and bears
- penguins and sea lions
