Friday 20 January 2023 A great bedtime routine! In our PSHE lessons this Half Term we are focusing on keeping ourselves and our bodies healthy. One way in which we can do this is to make sure we are getting enough, and good, sleep. Today we had a wonderful time exploring why we need good sleep and different calm activities we could do at home to help us to achieve this.

Friday 9 December 2022 Advent Wreaths This week in R.E we have been talking about how Christian people celebrate the time of Advent. We discussed how a wreath is an important symbol to many Christians as it's circular shape represents God's endless love and the candles each symbolise a different idea in the lead up to Jesus' birth - Hope, Love, Joy and Peace. The children all worked really hard on their wreaths.

Friday 14 October 2022 Autumn 1 Week 6 The Swallowtails were joined by the Otters class this week on a wonderful walk to the Orchard in the woods. The children collected lots of natural objects on the way to the woods, such as acorns, leaves, sticks and feathers. Once we arrived in the woods, the children created their own natural artwork in pairs. They hunted for other things to use around them and found lots of shiny red apples to use too! Once our artwork was created, we then played some games before picking apples from the orchard to take back to school. A lovely afternoon was had by all!
