Other Year 1/2 highlights this week include: using a wide range of resources to support our maths learning; getting to grips with using the mouse during our computing lessons and writing fantastic stories inspired by the text Toys in Space by Mini Grey.

Last Friday, Year 1/2 had a fantastic day with Clive Pig. Not only did he share some fabulous stories with us, but we had a go at making up our own stories. Clive also did a whole school assembly which we all enjoyed immensely.

Wow! Our attendance figures have really improved this week. Thank you so much for everyone's help and support with this. Particular well done to Year 2,3 and 5 who all have over 96% attendance. Next week has lots of exciting things planned - who will be the highest attending year group next?

Being part of the school, we are lucky enough to have 2 PE sessions a week in the hall, which the Nursery children absolutely love! This week's focus books in Nursery are 'The Gruffalo's Child' and 'We're going on a bear hunt'. The children have been listening to these texts and acting them out.

What amazing poets we have in Year 5/6! The vocabulary is just so powerful and creates fantastic images for the reader to encapsulate. Enjoy reading!

Year 3/4 have been busy in Science this week. Year 4s have studied the water cycle and finalised their unit on Solid, Liquid, Gas. They have really enjoyed all the different experiments! Year 3 have learned about the Rock Cycle -- and drew a diagram in their books. They have also enjoyed exploring different rocks and talking about fossils this half-term.

This week we are reading ‘Hole in the Zoo’ and we’ve been really enjoying our zoo themed role play. The children have been doing some wonderful imaginative play with the animals, we’ve been painting our own animal pictures and using the giant wooden blocks to create our own zoo for the animals. The children have been continuing to work hard at writing their names (see if they’ll write it for you at home!) and we have been continuing to develop our fine motor skills through a range of fun activities like threading and using the sand trays to support our letter formation. We can’t believe we’re a week away from our Robins completing their first half term in reception, we are so proud of how much progress they’re making in such a short space of time! Keep up the hard work 💫 #learnthroughplay #continuousprovision #EYFS

This week, Year 3/4 took a trip around Axminster to research how many different human and physical features there are in our town (as part of our Geography studies this term). We have been planning our route for a week by using our background knowledge of the area and reading maps. The students were model citizens while we walked through town! We send a huge thank you to the parent volunteers who came with us for the walk-around! Be sure to ask your child to point out different human and physical features we have found in the area!

This afternoon we have had to close the path to Reception - Robins - next to the bike shed. Please enter through the main doors, go along the corridor and across the quadrangle. There will be staff to direct you. Thank you.

The highlight of the week so far for Years 1 and 2 has been the obstacle course. The children had great fun and really enjoyed their time with the older children. Thank you for sponsoring them.

Where are the weeks going? We’re already in week 5 of our first half term and the children never cease to amaze us in Robins class! ⭐️ The children are working super hard this week on their fine motor skills, they’ve been busy with the hammers and nails copying and creating pictures with the different shapes. We’ve been singing lots of nursery rhymes and some of the children decided to have a go at drawing some of the characters from our songs and sang us the songs as they drew! We’ve also been continuing to explore seasonal changes and have noticed lots of the leaves are falling from our trees in the garden, so we decided to collect them up and do some leaf printing this week 🍁🍂 Yesterday we also supported the children in participating in the sponsored obstacle course, the Year 5 and 6 children were incredibly kind and supportive of the children and helped them round the course! Robins class really challenged themselves and pushed themselves outside of their comfort zones, they showed great perseverance and commitment and we are so proud of you all. Well done on another wonderful start of another new week Robins ⭐️

Years 5 and 6 have been having a fun time experimenting with the range of techniques using oil pastels. It has been quite messy sometimes but the outcomes are fantastic!
