We love following the children’s interests. Some of the children had noticed the cobwebs covered in dew early this morning. So we went on a spider and cobweb hunt around the garden, which led to so much new language, learning and adventure.

We have been practicing our walking, stopping and balancing. As well as our shaking skills!
We used mirrors to explore the shapes of the features of our faces. Then drew our self portraits. These are proudly hanging in the gallery in the classroom.
The children had a fabulous day at the farm. We got a VIP tour of behind the scenes. We met the donkeys, sheep, pigs and goats. And even got to feed some of them. We saw the grain store where the famer keeps the grain and talked about the wheat that is harvested. We met farmer Ann who runs the farm. After learning all about how the farm works we had lunch in the barn then got to explore the play equipment. It only rained a little bit when we first arrived so we were very lucky to see the sunshine too. What a fantastic day!
The children loved having a go in the tractor at our farm visit this week.
The Year 6 children from the choir went on a special visit this afternoon. They performed at the HU4 Hub for local residents in the community. It was a lovely afternoon of singing carols and Rebecca brought her flute and played some Christmas some as well. residents enjoys seeing the children sing their Christmas songs. The children were very lucky and got treats and hot chocolate, so I think they enjoyed it too.
Well done children.
A fabulous performance from the Christopher Pickering Christmas Choir this week. They have been working hard since October to learn the songs and remember their lines for the story of the first Christmas. Well done to everyone one involved.
Wow… what a performance.
The children did so well learning the songs, saying their lines and performing in front of the school and their families. We are so proud of each and every one of them for their hard work. It is quite tricky remember all the song words, where to go on the stage and all the while smiling and being the best angel or tree or hailstone!
A huge WELL DONE too all the children who took part in Foundation stage 2 and Year 1.
Here are a few photos of some of the the superstars.
In literacy we have continued with our story, Handa’s Surprise.
We have written ‘I can see’ sentences. We ‘pinched the sounds’ to help us spell; Handa, zebra and basket.
In maths we have been counting 2 groups of fruit, finding the total, then writing the correct number sentence (4+3=7 for example). We understand and can use the mathematical signs, + and =.
In art we have made something special for Sunday … we hope you love it!
During our topic lesson, we made our fruit salads which we designed last week. Some of the fruits we used were grapes, apples, pears and tangerines… we enjoyed preparing and tasting our fruit salads, they were delicious!
On Wednesday, we went to Pink Pig Farm. We all had the most wonderful time and all the teachers were so proud of all the children’s behaviour, they were an absolute credit to our school. Please see our school blog to see our amazing day.
We practised our races for our sports day during PE. We all enjoyed taking part and cheering each other on. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 18th at 9.30 am to cheer all the children on.
What a super time we had on our Farm Day. The FS garden had lots of farm activities for us to join in with and the children all looked the part, ready for a busy day working on the farm. All of the children got the chance to visit to animals from Purple Pig Farm. We were very lucky to meet a calf, some piglets, a 6 day old goat, rabbits and lambs. We all got to cuddle a chick and our teachers were very proud with how gentle we were. We were so glad the sun was shining too. When we asked the children what their favourite part of the day was… most of them answered “holding the chick”.
