More pictures of our Year 1 scientists fully engrossed in learning about plants!
Year 1 Scientists Our very own Year 1 scientists have been busy enjoying their planting topic! The children loved planting, observing, and recording their ideas through drawing and painting. They also explored different types of plants, comparing them and sorting them into groups like real scientists! A wonderful mix of curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. #Year1 #LittleScientists #PlantingTopic #HandsOnLearning
Year 2 Artists at Work Year 2 have been busy getting creative, using paper to design and build their own sculptures!

It was fantastic to see their imagination, creativity, and problem-solving skills in action. #Year2 #YoungArtists #CreativeLearning #SchoolLife

Earth Day in Sparrows Class The Sparrows spent time learning how to care for God's beautiful planet. We explored ways to keep our world healthy and safe by talking about recycling, water pollution, and the importance of not wasting water. The children discovered how they can help look after all of God's creations from animals and plants to the environment around us. We also spoke about the importance of picking up litter and doing our part to keep the world clean and full of life. Together, we can make a difference! #EarthDay #CareForCreation #LittleEcoWarriors
Playtimes have had a wonderful revamp! Children are now enjoying a range of creative, well-zoned areas including construction play, dressing up, skipping games, and a dedicated writing space. Each area encourages imagination, collaboration, and purposeful play. Our staff are actively facilitating and supporting the children, helping them to build friendships, share resources, and grow in confidence. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, we are especially focusing on the common goodencouraging our children to think of others, include everyone, and play with kindness and respect. It's been lovely to see such joyful, creative play in action!

Forest School Fun Doves Class had an exciting time in Forest School this week! They loved exploring the swing, rope ladder and hammock, as well as getting creative in the mud kitchen. The children also used 'loose parts' to build their own unique models. There was lots of excitement as we investigated the pond. We wondered if there were any tadpoles yetand were delighted to discover they had just started to hatch! We saw them wiggling in the jelly, with some already becoming tadpoles. To top it all off, while we were observing, a frog suddenly appeared from underneath the frogspawn and swam off to nearby plants. What an amazing afternoon! #ForestSchool #Tadpoles #Frogs #WildlifePonds #Ecosystems
