Forest school adventures

Written by Class Teacher. Posted in Acorns, Forest School

Last week our Reception and Preschool children had a lovely visit to the meadow for forest school and used their five senses to explore :- feeling the rough bark of the oak tree, smelling the wet grass, listening to the leaves rustling in the trees, looking at the acorns  and footprints in the mud and tasting the cold autumn air.

Our Year 1 children went adventuring further afield and enjoyed an exciting morning exploring our beautiful forest school site in the woods .

Harvest festival

4th October

We have been busy practising our story of ‘The harvest mice’ ready to perform at our whole school harvest festival in church . We all found our ‘big playground voices’ and performed beautifully. Here is our rather cute family of hungry mice and another rather cute collection of some of our pre-school Acorn children who joined us for a walk to the church this week and  collected autumn treasures such as beech mast, leaves and twigs in the churchyard.

Forest school and apple crumble

We have had our first visits to forest school where we have been picking apples and blackberries in the orchard. Back at school we all enjoyed apples for our snack and then it was time to use the apple peeler to  see who could make the longest piece of peel! After that  we all helped to make blackberry and apple crumble – which was delicious!

Each of our new Reception children has a Year 5 buddy who  helps them to settle into school and looks after them, particularly in the playground at break and lunch time. We also have lovely children who offer to come and play with our pre-school children at break time. Here are just a few photos of some of these lovely buddies, helping our little ones to settle in this week.

Welcome to the lovely new Early Years children in Acorn Class

6th September 

We have had a great first week back  and it has been such a delight to welcome lots of lovely little people into our school. Our new Reception children have been busy settling in and during the afternoons we have welcomed our pre-schoolers into Acorn Class. We have also been very proud of the Year 1s who have stepped up to be such helpful older role models.

Hawthorn Scientists

Written by Class Teacher. Posted in Hawthorn

The children had a great time being sense detectives.  We used all of our senses to help a little girl find her teddy bear.  The bear smelled of mint, liked eating apples, had a squeak in his tummy, had a paw print that was 10cm wide and felt soft and furry.  The children had to try different samples to find the clues to work out who was the missing teddy bear.  We have now been writing up our findings as every good Scientist should! Great fun was had by all although the blindfolded tasting of lemons and olives was not as popular as the sweets!

Experience Harvest

Written by Class Teacher. Posted in School News

Year 1, 2 and 3 children recently visited Ashton Free Church to ‘Experience Harvest’, when they learnt about the harvest of the garden, the ocean, the flock, the grain and the earth. They also found out a little about the Jewish festival of Sukkot. Many thanks to our parent helpers and the volunteers at the Chapel, who always put so much effort into such occasions.
