We have loved our topic last week in Nursery based on 'The Train Ride' book. The children made a group Story Map and thought about and described journeys they have taken by train. They have created trains in many forms: in paint and cotton wool, using tap-a-shape, using junk modelling resources, in collage with paper, by drawing around 2D shapes, and outside with crates and blocks. They have also drawn some wonderful story maps of the book themselves, and created their own colourful tube maps! We also focused on bridges, constructing these in various materials such as junk or wooden blocks. The children were amazing engineers!
In Maths we have thought about and explored 2D shapes, especially those we can see on trains, and in PE we enjoyed moving over, under, through, and around various obstacle courses, using the large apparatus. The children have also created some wonderful complex Brio train tracks.

Year 1 and 2 had a fabulous afternoon at the Harriet Muncaster book event yesterday. We enjoyed listening to Harriet and seeing her wonderful 3D models of her characters and settings (what great inspiration for our DT lessons this half term!). We also enjoyed drawing along with her as she showed us how she draws her characters.
Thank you to all the parents helpers, we couldn't attend trips and visits without your support.

Year 3 have been introduced to their new writing topic of Finding Tales with our modelled text, Luca and the stolen diamond. This week, the children made their own text map which allows them to recall the story. Once completed, the children had a go at using their text map to retell the story to their table partner. We are always impressed with how well they remember the story based on their own drawings!

In Pro-Social time in Year 1 we focused on the skills of sharing and taking turns. We discussed what it means to share and how we can take turns. We used a selection of games and puzzles to work together focusing on these key skills. Everyone did a great job and really did show these Pro-Social skills throughout.
