We have had a fantastic few days back with our new Year 1 classes! We are very proud of how well our children have adapted to the new routines in school. We have enjoyed hearing what the children have been up to over Summer and how much they have been looking forward to coming back to school.
This week we have been getting used to the new routines in Year 1 and settling back into school life. We have practised recognising and counting numbers, naming aliens in our Phonics area, and exploring our brand new 'Curiosity Cubes!'
This week in Year 1 we also started our Forest School sessions. Thankfully, the rain stopped long enough for both classes to enjoy some great time outside, the sun even made an appearance in our afternoon session! This week we learnt about different types of birds, and using natural materials, we made nests for our chosen birds. We had to think about the size of our bird, the types of materials we used, and the type of nest the birds would live in. Using a bird template, we then added detail and pattern to create our own bird. We were even given some string to let our bird fly! Some of our children practised making knots with the string, and tried very hard to master this skill!
We all had a great time during our first session, the children loved being back in the Forest School area and especially enjoyed making their birds fly in the wind!
Changes to Home Time Arrangements

Changes to home time arrangements
As we have now been open for a number of days we have noticed a concerning lack of social distancing by parents and carers. Therefore, we are enhancing our COVID Safe rules.
We recommend that face coverings are worn by all parents and carers who are medically able to do so – staff will also be wearing face coverings.
To further ensure safe exiting at the end of the date, we will now stagger the collection times:
Year 3 – finish at 3:15pm
Year 4 – finish at 3:10pm
Year 5 – finish at 3:20pm
Year 6 – finish at 3:25pm
As always, for those parents/carers who have to collect children from Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1, staff will still wait with your child until you can collect them from their designated zone.
Nursery, Reception, Years 1, 2 and 3
There will be no changes to Reception and Key Stage 1 at this time, however, this situation is under constant review. Please remember, do not call your child over to you, they will be brought to you by a member of staff.
Please follow these new procedures to help keep your child safe.

Meet Supertato! This week in Nursery we have read the story ‘Supertato,’ and learnt about the caped potato superhero fighting to save the world from the arch villain – the Evil Pea! We have been practising our Supertato story telling skills with our Superhero story basket, with added special characters made by Mrs Welch! We have also been creating our own evil peas, and exploring our Funky Fingers area using trays of peas and mashers, evil pea threading and potatoes, sticks and capes! We have been mark making with carrots, printing with celery and broccoli and even taking part in a Superhero obstacle course!

Children from EYFS and Key Stage One are really enjoying dancing and acting in our weekly dance and drama club. They cannot wait to perform for parents, friends and family in the Northern Ballet's KS1 version of Little Red Riding Hood in a few weeks!
