We had a fantastic afternoon walking around Elford village today. We spotted key features of the village such as the village hall, the school and the park to tie in with our Marty Maps it Out book. We are looking forward to making some of our own maps now that we know the way around our village.

We have really enjoyed our topic this week exploring different jobs of people who help us. We especially enjoyed our visit from a local fireman who brought us some fire fighter uniforms and helmets to try on. We shared stories about fire safety and he taught us how to check our fire alarms and…

We have now begun our phonics in class 1 exploring initial sounds in lots of fun ways. The children have demonstrated enthusiasm and great understanding - we are so proud of them.

The whole school enjoyed a delicious ice cream, which really helped us cool down in this weather.

A massive thank you to our wonderful PTA for providing this yummy treat!

We have been studying oceans in Class 1 and this week we were looking at global warming. We used duplo to create mini islands and then added water and ice to see what happens to the sea level when the ice melts. The children loved exploring this concept and the added bonus of the ice kept us…

We enjoyed rescuing our trapped icy animals this morning. Playing with the ice definitely helped cool us down.

What a fantastic afternoon for our PTFA colour run!
