Year One have been learning all about autumn. We have watched a video that showed all of the wonderful things that happen during this season and discussed how the weather will begin to change as we move into winter. After lots of disucssion about the signs of autumn, we decided to go on an autumn walk. We went onto the field and looked around our environment to find any signs of autumn and discovered that the leaves had changed colour and lots had fallen from the trees. We went to find an autumn leaf and brought it back to the classroom.

Year One and Year Two have been feeling very creative and have decided to use the outdoors in their recent Art and Design lesson. The children designed a picture that they could create using only the materials that they could find outside. Year One based their pictures on their topic of 'The Three Little Pigs' and Year Two created a picture linked to their topic of 'The Seaside'. We then made a list and went outdoors to scavenge and find all of the materials that we needed.

Year One have had lots of fun designing and making alien biscuits after our very busy week. The children have worked extremely hard this week reading a range of real and nonsense words and to finish the week, we decided to make our own aliens out of biscuits and sweets. The children loved designing silly looking aliens but eating them during Golden Time was definitely the best part! 

What a fantastic time everybody had at our family activity this week!  Staff and children are still talking about the fun they had in their attempts to make the most creative marble run. Quotes fom the childen included "It was a lot of trial and error but worth it in the end!"  "My favourite part was building the different components!"  "I thought today was awesome because everyone worked as a team with a smile."  Mrs Anson, our expert scientist, reported "My group showed great determination and ingenuity.
