World Book Day 2025 was so much fun!

We learnt about monsters, sharks and crayons! Who knew crayons could be so grumpy!

We spent time in all the classrooms making monster tails, sea biscuits and crazy colouring. We really enjoyed listening to the different stories. We even had a visit from Mrs Wrangles from year 1.

Some of the children brought their favourite books in from home. Mrs Moore loved listening to some new stories and finding out what stories the children enjoy at home.

Well done Beech Class, a very successful and sunny World Book Day!

World Book Day! 

What a great day we have had. We loved seeing everyone's costumes and couldn't wait to show them off.

We have listened to our teachers favourite stories and completed activities. We made under the sea biscuits, we did some creative drawing and even made some monster horns and tails. 

We settled down in the dark with our teddies and had a story before lunch and then we had a special visitor read us a story at the end of the day. The Year 1 teachers came over to read us their favourite stories. 

The children said, "this is the best day ever!" 

This term the children have been working incredibly hard! We have been learning about People Who Help Us. The children have really enjoyed this topic and have met lots of amazing people. We met the school cooks, a real life lollipop lady, a librarian and we got to explore our school and meet some of the staff who help us every day.

We also visited the Little City, we pretended to be different people who help us and got to pretend we had real jobs. The children loved this experience! We were even inspired by the cooks to make our own fruit kebabs. The children were great at trying new fruits and even learnt how to safely chop and prepare food. 

In Maths, the children have been learning how to make patterns, we really enjoyed this learning and made lots patterns in different ways. We have also been learning about longer, shorter, taller, heavier and lighter. 

We have also started to write sentences, this has been a little bit tricky but the class are very determined. We know we need to use finger spaces, a capital letter at the start and always remember a full stop!

Beech Class, you have worked incredibly hard this term and we are beyond proud of all of you. Well done, Beech Class!

We went to the library! 

We walked out of school and through the town to the library. We looked at some pictures of what we would find along out way. We spotted Aldi, the silver sphere, Noodle stop, primark and a cafe. 

When we got there we had to be really quiet! We sat down and listened to a story from the librarian. It was a story about a disgusting sandwich.  We then learnt all about the library. The librarian told us you can join the library for FREE, you can borrow up to 30 books at a time and you can even get your own library card with your name on it.

We then had some time exploring the library and all the amazing books they have. 

We then had a long walk back, but luckily, the rain stopped until we got back !

This week we visited our school cooks! 

We learnt that there are seven cooks. 

They cook over 600 meals a day.

They have four ovens.

& our favourite... on a Friday, they cook 500 sausages! 

We discussed foods that were healthy and unhealthy and even made our own fruit kebabs. Some of us tried new fruits, they were delicious! 

Last week we had a very visitor. We had our local lollipop lady come and visit us in school. 

Our topic this half-term is people who help us, so Mrs Poole-Tabener told us how she helps people cross the road before and after school.

She wore her special yellow uniform and told us that she wears her uniform to keep her safe and so that cars can see her if it is dark. She told us how to keep safe when crossing roads and we practised crossing the road safely! 

If you see Mrs Poole-Tabener on Sish Lane, at the crossing, don't forget to say hello! 

This term we have really enjoyed our topic, All About Me. We have learnt about our senses, how to make a skeleton, who's in our families and different celebrations. We have really enjoyed this topic and we are excited to continue it for a few more weeks. We are going to create different self portraits next week and then we will use our baby photos to learn about the past and how we have changed.

In phonics this week we have learnt 3 diagraphs, ss, ff, ll, and the new phoneme j. We have also started reading practise and we are super excited  to take our first books home this weekend. We have been working hard practising our blending skills.

In independent time this week, Ted, Finley and Hugo made a huge aeroplane in the construction area. It even had 3 seats and two wings. Meanwhile, Oscar, Isla and Musa had some calm time in the wheelbarrow!

Well done Beech Class! Another fantastic week. Have a wonderful weekend :)
