Years 3 and 4 have been experimenting with poetry this last week. As you can see, they have written some excellent examples 😊

We have had a lovely week in reception as we come towards the end of our ‘people who help us’ topic this half term. We had a visit from some Year 5s who have been playing doctors with our receptions and we’ve had lots of fun! 🩺 The children have been spending the week thinking about their friends and families and how they help us! We’ve been working hard as a team and working collaboratively with our friends! The children have also been learning about healthy and unhealthy food choices and the impact foods and drinks can have on our bodies. #EYFS #continuousprovision #learnthroughplay

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.

Yesterday was such an amazing day for Year 5 and 6 as they visited the Heritage Centre and the Minster as part of their topic ' How did the Civil War impact Axminster and the local area?' The children were treated to an informative talk and a trail in the church and showed how clever they were by answering many questions. Following this, there was a talk in the Heritage Centre about how Axminster recovered from the Civil War and regrew. They were also treated to a brief history of Axminster carpets and the use of the current buildings. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all. Thank you to all of the adults involved.

In Key Stage 1 we've been preparing for our Progress Write by having a go at a 'Pick and Mix' story. The children choose their main characters, their setting and a special object out of a bag and then they let their imagination run wild! They've been really enthusiastic with their ideas and we're looking forward to an enjoyable read.

Nursery children have had a great start to the week. We have explored watercolour paintings, weighed quantities, identified shapes on the whiteboard, worked on our ball skills and had lots of outdoor fun.

A few children asked today about non-uniform day. To avoid any confusion we would just like to clarify that non-uniform day is next week, Friday 14th as stated on the newsletter and via parent pay.

The Year 5 and 6 children celebrated Children's Mental Health Week by thinking carefully about how they could look after their own mental health as well as others. They used hearts to express their ideas. Just look at the friendliness and support for others.

The wall bars were out for Years 5 and 6! The children were so excited to have their turn and have tried hard to create symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes on the different apparatus. Lots of children just wanted to climb and dangle!

As it is Children's mental health week years 3 and 4 thought about the questions 'How can I help my mind be healthy?' and 'How can you help others?' They were very thoughtful and came up with some fantastic answers. It is really good to see children aware of mental health and know they have a bank of strategies to support them when needed.

It's Mental Health Week this week. In Key Stage One we've been exploring this year's theme: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. In our PSHE lessons we've talked about how we can face challenges and use our ability to 'stretch' our learning - then we had a go at making a 'stretchy flower', which was a challenge for us, but you can see how pleased everyone was with the result. Well done Year 1 and Year 2!

Year 3/4 have had a really fun time learning their numbers in French! We have been playing outside games to reinforce our remembering of French numbers. Playing hopscotch was a great way to count to 12! Très bien, Year 3/4!

Last Friday we were incredibly lucky and had a special visit from Hayley Widger! She taught us all about her incredibly important role as a police officer and she taught us all about her job and how she keeps us all safe within our community. We got to see her uniform and the different equipment she has and needs to do her job, we got to explore the police van and even go inside! We had a go at pretending to drive the van, we watched the lights and listened to the sirens, and we even locked Miss Reeve in the back of the police van! Hayley brought with her a selection of uniform that we got to try on, this was super exciting because we got to pretend that we were police officers like Hayley! 🚓👮 We are so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community where we have so many people who help us, but also who come in and spend their time with us, teaching us all about the world around us! Thank you Hayley, you’re the best! 🚔 #EYFS #community #policevisit #understandingtheworld

This week in Reception class we are learning all about doctors, paramedics and nurses, as well as focusing our learning on dental hygiene. This week so far the children have been loving role playing in our doctor’s surgery, they’ve been giving each other injections, listening to their hearts using stethoscopes and wrapping each other up in bandages! As well as being doctors this week, the children have been enjoying playing dentists. They’ve been busy brushing the teeth and ensuring their teeth are nice and healthy. We’ve been doing lots this half term about how to keep our minds and bodies healthy, and this week we’re thinking about healthy and unhealthy choices for our teeth. It has been so wonderful seeing how much the children are enjoying their learning and how brilliantly they play together and care for one and other. Well done Robins; we’re loving watching you learn and grow! ⭐️ #EYFS #understandingtheworld #learnthroughplay
