Yellow Class 🟡
We have had another lovely week in Yellow Class this week and we have taken part in lots of lovely activities!
We have explored Slime Baff in our sensory play and some children (and adults) were more enthusiastic than others in this! We have used bubble paint to create bubbling cauldrons and have printed using apples to make pumpkins. We are well and truly into the Autumn spirit here. We have developed our fine motor skills and have used tweezers to grab Pom poms and stick them to tape. We have also used magnets to try and find our phonics sounds ‘s,a and t’
Have a lovely weekend!

Rainbow Unit Orange Class- Week 6
Date: 16th Oct 2026 @ 2:59pm
In Orange Class 🟠this week we have had yet another busy week!
We have introduced more alphabet jigsaws and alphabet resources and the children have enjoyed these. Some children impressing us by saying some letter names and singing the alphabet song! 🎶
The sensory play this week was slime! Whether the children liked this or not, was very mixed! Everyone did take part, but we understand that slime isn’t for everyone! 😣
The children made lovely pumpkin pictures using half an apple, these are in their bags. They also made lovely cauldron pictures using paint and a tube.
Just a reminder the children finish for half term next Thursday, as Friday is an INSET day and children are off school.
We hope you have a lovely weekend, see you all on Monday

As the Earth was God's gift to us, we created our own Earth as a gift for someone else.

We played a game to find numbers greater than and less than other numbers. We had to complete the sentences "___ is greater than ___" and "___ is less than ___".
Date: 16th Oct 2026 @ 1:31pm
We listened to and sang a song called Little Acorns. We found the pulse of the song in a variety of ways like patting our knees, clapping our hands and tapping our shoulders. Our partner had to copy us finding the pulse.

We learnt about managing stress in PD. We learnt how the body and brain respond to stress and discussed strategies to manage stress. We also explained how practising these strategies can help to reduce stress and support long-term wellbeing.
Year 6 Planet Research Presentation

We worked in groups to research about the planets in our solar system. We presented our information on flip chart paper to share with the rest of the class.
Date: 16th Oct 2026 @ 8:10am
We used target boards with the key vocabulary on to explain to a partner what we have learnt in our topic on space. We totalled up the scores to see who got the most points.

In maths, we have looked at rounding numbers and thinking about whether we need to round up or down to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000. Y4 loved playing a rounding game to see which numbers they could generate to complete their grids before their partner.

Year 4 have worked hard to create some lovely prints of different leaves, transferring the detail and outlines onto coloured paper.

We had lots of activities set up in the Blue Room this week to help us practise our gross motor and fine motor skills.
Date: 13th Oct 2026 @ 10:40am
During our PD lesson, we thought about what to do when we were feeling angry. We discussed what happens to our bodies when we feel angry and what the best way to react to this is. We practised some mindfulness including breathing and tracing around shapes with our finger. We also explored the activities available to us on the self regulation station in class.
Date: 13th Oct 2026 @ 10:38am
During our netball lessons, we practised a bounce pass. The aim was for the ball to only bounce once and for our partner to be able to catch it. We practised the correct position to hold the ball and how to hold our hands to make sure we could catch it.

This half term in EYFS, we have been developing our physical development skills through a range of fun and active PE lessons.
The children have been practising how to find and move into a space safely in the hall, helping them to become more aware of themselves and others around them. We have enjoyed moving to music, exploring different ways of travelling such as walking, marching, tiptoeing and jumping.
We have also been playing our traffic lights game, where the children respond to different colours. Green means go, orange means move carefully and slowly, and red means stop. This has helped the children develop their listening skills, control their movements and follow instructions.
One of our favourite games has been "Out of the Box", where the children use their imaginations to move like different animals. We have stomped like elephants, hopped like frogs, slithered like snakes and stretched up tall like giraffes. This activity has encouraged the children to experiment with different ways of moving while improving their balance, coordination and confidence.

In EYFS, we have been working hard to develop the skills needed for successful writing by strengthening both our gross motor and fine motor skills.
Outside, the children have been building their strength and coordination through a range of practical activities. They have enjoyed moving heavy crates, balancing on and carrying planks, and using nuts and bolts to twist, turn and fix objects together. These activities help to develop the large muscle groups that support good posture and control when sitting and writing.
Inside the classroom, we have continued to develop our fine motor skills through lots of engaging hands-on activities. The children have been practising mark-making and letter formation in sand, writing on whiteboards, taking part in our daily Dough Disco sessions with playdough, improving their cutting skills, and using tweezers to pick up and manipulate small objects. These activities help to strengthen the muscles in the hands and fingers, preparing children for writing.
In phonics, we have now learned the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m and d. We have been practising how to correctly form each of these letters, carefully starting and ending in the right places. It has been wonderful to see the children's growing confidence as they use their phonics knowledge in their mark-making and early writing.
Keep up the fantastic work, EYFS!

Y3- Pope Leo Celebration of The Word
Date: 8th Oct 2026 @ 1:48pm
Year 3 planned and delivered a very thoughtful Celebration of The Word which focussed on Pope Leo. They chose a hymn to sing, thought of prayers that could be included and worked well as a team to equally share out parts.
Pupil voice:
MG- I enjoyed choosing new music to start the Celebration of The Word
RM- I like having the chance to stand up and read from the alter.
KG- I liked reading out my parts in front of everyone
Date: 8th Oct 2026 @ 1:39pm
In groups, year 3 talked about and dramatised what happens during the offertory procession. They each took part in being the priest and the congregation and through readings and responses.
