Is given out on Friday in a folder. It needs to be completed by the following Thursday at the latest, returned in the folder and placed in the green tray which is located next to the reading record tray.
Forest Schools:
Happens fortnightly usually on a Tuesday afternoon in Maple class. Your child will need a change of clothes that you don't mind getting muddy, a pair of wellies or old trainers, a waterproof coat and a spare bag for dirty boots, all of which needs to be in a bag on your child's peg.
Some members of Maple Class would like to say "Hello"
Harvest-time
We have talking about harvest-time and looking at different grains and seeds. One member of Maple Class harvested a sunflower from their garden and brought it in to show us. The children examined the flower and used it to create their own paintings.
Kidney beans, lentils and pumpkin seeds have been used to make a harvest collage. Some of us chose to create a sunflower.
A big thank you for all the "Autumn Plates" that we received. We enjoyed sharing them and we think they look great!
Arts Fortnight
Pattern and line
The children used different lines and patterns to create a symmetrical butterfly.

The children had a go, I think you will agree, their paintings were just as impressive!
