Miss Horton and the EYFS Team 
Is that what friends do?
We have been reading the story 'Is that what friends do?' by Marjorie Newman. We discussed what we should and should not do to our friends and now we are working hard to be the best friends we can!
We're going on a welly walk!
We had a fantastic welly walk to the sensory garden last week. The sun was shining and we heard lots of wonderful sounds, including a helicopter!
Emerald Independent Art Gallery
Fabulous and Fun Fundamentals!
The children made all of the teachers very proud in our PE session. They were able to get themselves undressed and dressed for PE, even on a non-uniform day!
The children then listened really well to the instructions during our busy PE session.
They warmed up to the 'Beans' and 'Gears' games.
They had loads of fun doing team races too!
We have been reading a wonderful story by Audrey Penn called
'The Kissing Hand'.
The children have enjoyed listening to the story and it has helped them to settle into school knowing that they can still feel the love of their families.
Each of the children have made their own kissing hand to bring home for their family to show that they love them too.
Marvellous Me
It has been wonderful getting to know the children. We have been looking through their All About Me books. The children have been sharing them well with each other and the adults in the class.
The children have also made their homes with pictures of their families inside.
One of the other activities they have done is paint self portraits. Take a look at them below.
Exploring the Outdoor Area
All of the children have written their first piece of writing in their special mark making books. They wrote their news about their weekend. This is something that the children will do every week.
The children have enjoyed having lunch at school.
Running Track
Previous Year
Mrs French kindly came into school with some water she had collected from the local river. We were able to look at the different species she looks for in the water. Talk to your child about what they found.
We had a fantastic trip to Bristol Aquarium. The children thoroughly enjoyed looking at the fish and learning lots of facts. Please ask your child to talk to you about our trip.
We are so proud of all of the children for great behaviour 
Meet the Pirates
Meet the Mermaids
Meet the Teachers
We have been enjoying the story 'Billy's Bucket' and the children have written what they have seen in their magical bucket. Please talk to your child about this story and their work. Take a look below at a few examples of the children's work, which they completed independently. We are so proud of their writing.
Strawberries and honey.
The children picked the strawberries that we have been growing in our Emerald Garden. We were surprised to have over 60 juicy strawberries. We enjoyed these with some of the honey that Sherribee had given us from her bee hive.
Beekeeper Visit
We were very lucky to have a visit from the lovely Sherribee a local beekeeper from Kennet Valley.
She did lots of fun activities with us to help us to learn all about bees. Sherribee also gave a us a little bee of our own to look after and some yummy honey to try.
Miss Horton's favourite part was being the Queen Bee!
Please ask your children to tell you all about the bees!
Bees!
