The Year 2 children had an unforgettable adventure on their visit to the amazing rainforest! From the moment they stepped into the lush, green environment, they were captivated by the incredible sights and sounds. The children were thrilled to explore and learn about the diverse animals that call the rainforest home. They saw a sleepy sloth hanging from a tree, tiny tortoises near a pond, and fascinating stick insects camouflaged among the leaves. The vibrant birds on branches and the baby crocodile resting in a shady spot were particular highlights. This exciting experience served as the perfect hook for their English lessons, introducing them to the book The Amazing Rainforest. Back in class, they will use their vivid memories to practice retelling the story with their text map, building confidence and excitement before innovating it with their own rainforest adventures.

Santa visited all the children this week during their class Christmas parties. He gave everyone a present and they all remembered their good manners and said 'thank you' to Santa. Everybody was really excited about seeing Santa and had lots of fun at their Christmas party. 

Well done to all our attendance winners. Bronze certificates were given out to children for 100% this half term and silver certificates for children with 100% attendance for the whole of the Autumn term. Well done on coming to school every day! All the children who received a certificate were entered into the attendance raffle. A new award for Most Improved Attendance was also given out. Congratulations to the winner who has worked really hard to improve their attendance as much as possible. And the final award given out was the 12 Days of Christmas Attendance GRAND prize which was a £20 Amazon gift voucher. Well done to all of the winners!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Winter Fayre. It was great to see so many parents/ carers and children attend. There was lots going on including a raffle, a book sale, penalty shootout, food stalls and each class had a stall selling all of the items they had for the fayre. Thank you to all the parents/ carers who made lots of delicious food for sale at the food stall. We raised nearly £2000.00 which will be put towards purchasing resources to further improve OPAL Play.

Children in Year 1 performed their Nativity 'Its the Twinkly Nativity' to all parents and carers! They were amazing at remembering their lines and all the stage directions. Well done for the brilliant show. Thank you so much to our families who attended and we hope you enjoyed it!
