Welcome back everyone! We hope you all had a fun filled week off and have returned ready for this next half term.

This week we had a very special visit from Mrs Wood's Guinea Pigs, Daffodil and Chewy. They came to help us learn about adjectives. We thought of lots of new and exciting words to describe them especially Chewy who is more mischievous than the timid Daffodil! Please ask your child about the…

Welcome back Holly class. It is lovely to see you all. We hope that you have had a fantastic holiday and that you all got lots of presents.

Our trip to see the Captain Cook museum in Whitby was amazing.  Thank you to Mrs Maud for organising it and to all the parents who came to help! We also learnt even more interesting facts about Whitby and Captain Cook. 

Our Art this week was inspired by all the gorgeous Autumn colours we saw on…

Well done Holly class on a rather fabulous week! Mrs Maud and myself are so proud of how you have all adapted to life in the 'big school' and are producing some very mature work.  We look forwards to sharing this work in the upcoming parents evening!
This week we have been looking at the weather…

This week our learning has been very purposeful! On Monday we learnt about the different root vegetables that would have been aboard Captain Cooks' Endeavour.  We then wrote a shopping list and took it to Lidl to buy these vegetables.  On Wednesday we followed a recipe on how to make Vegetable…

Ahoy Holly Class! We have had a very busy week in Holly class. We went aboard the Endeavour where chef Wood cooked us 2 platefuls of delicious food and we drank wine (not really - it was cherry juice!) We talked about why Captain Baker gave us these foods like Captain Cook would have given to his…
