🖌️🎨 Painting with natural resources 🎨🖌️
This half term our topic is “Step Outside”, and the children in Beginnings did just that! They set off on a lovely nature walk to gather natural materials for a wonderful piece of artwork.
They explored the big playground ...filled with big trees, spotted birds nesting above, and listened to their beautiful songs. Using their collected items, flowers, sticks, and leaves, the children chose their favourite colours and painted their very own work of art. Well done to our little artists!
For the first two weeks of our 'Adventure Awaits' topic, F1 are focusing on the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt.' We look forward to sharing all their wonderful learning with you! 🐻☀️🌱💦🟤🌲🌨🪨
Today, Y3NRO practised their running techniques ensuring their heads were straight, their arms were used and they ran on the balls of their feet. This half term, we will be focusing on athletics.
We are super proud of our textured coastal landscapes in Y1/2MBR this week. Inspired by Justin Gaffrey - don't they look fantastic 👏🌊
Our beginnings enjoyed making some Easter biscuits today, mixing, rolling & cutting 🐣🐰🍪🥚 We hope everyone has a lovely Easter holiday ❤️
Year 2 have had an amazing day at Venn Olympics today. From archery to racing to kin ball it has definitely been a fun filled day. Miss Booth would like to thank the children for showing Brooke behaviour all day and using fantastic team work skills. Have a lovely Easter break Year 2😄
Easter Raffle 2026
This is always one of the most exciting days of the year. A big thank you to everyone who donated prizes and bought tickets and congratulations to our lucky winners!
Y3LJA - in Scirnce we have been learning about magnets and forces. We have learnt what a contact and non-contact force is as well as that north and south poles on magmets attract, but when you try to put two north or two south poles together they repell each other. We have also taken part in a ...carosel of activities to measure the stength of our magnets in differnt ways.
Y3LJA - last week the children had a great time tasting different soups, we were really surprised that allthough the broccolli and stilton soup was very smelly it was quite yummy. We then designed our own vegetable soup in groups and then peeled and cut the ingredients before they were boiled so ...that we could add some seasoning and blend it together ready for tasting with our parents.
Thank you to all of our wonderful grown ups for joining us at the Beginnings Easter event! The children have worked so hard all half term on our Easter songs and they enjoyed performing for you all. We really appreciate all of your continued support. 🐣🐰🍫💚
How wonderful do our Beginnings children look in their Easter bonnets! 🐣🩷
