We're spending time this week thinking about the importance of connection. This year's Children's Mental Health Week theme is 'Let's Connect' & links closely to our daily work & interactions with the children using the @ThriveApproach #childrensmentalhealthweek @Place2Be https://t.co/b3wqTxlrtW

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help before, during or after this evening's two discos. The children at both events had a great time and will hopefully sleep well (I know the grown-ups certainly will!) Have a lovely weekend. https://t.co/DwPW963zoZ

The EY and KS1 Disco is underway and the dance floor is filling up! https://t.co/BtSoIys2Ko

It was a nail biting time in Y6 today as the first heats of the CrumbleBot Race took place! The children have been writing codes to programme the CrumbleBots & today they tested them out. They will now be refining their codes next week to see if they can improve their performance https://t.co/lEWbzz7zCf

Yesterday the children in Owls class were looking at different food groups and making and tasting a healthy sandwich that they had designed.  The children grated cheese and sliced apples, cucumbers and tomatoes.  Lots of them were brave and tried a new food for the first time. https://t.co/IZhvmWbRGT

We're back in pre-school after a lovely summer at home, playing with our friends and family. Today we're exploring the small world 'zoo'. This helps us to develop language skills and express our imagination. https://t.co/e5InLqxQva

Look at our stories about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We like to write picture stories to read to each other at circle time. https://t.co/jZF4XnNrZG

What a busy time we've been having in Pre-school. Our caterpillars have hatched and the children released them to 'collect nectar from the flowers' (MC). We also went to the theatre to see The Very Hungry Caterpillar - what fun! https://t.co/IjjeUQinXb

The wonderful adventure wonderland. What fun! https://t.co/cJ4GTxXHTH

From frogs to dinosaurs...what a busy week. The children love the swamp theme and enjoy the smell of the herbs in the swamp. https://t.co/paEgUu34uv

We've been playing in our tuff spot with Chia seeds and thinking about the frog pond in the school vegetable garden. We love the way the slimy chia seeds feel like frog spawn. https://t.co/ULZ13tHtSX

We love learning about life cycles and growing. We're busy watching worms and caterpillars at the moment. Our beans are growing in the garden and we're looking at the frogs in the school garden. Such a lot of growing going on in pre-school this term. https://t.co/VEt7bwPZm3

Another busy day as we head on fast towards half-term break. It was beautiful in the Meadow Classroom today, and everyone enjoyed making necklaces at Forest School. Using the palm drill with Peter was great fun! https://t.co/o4qLwYOJMO

We like to learn new skills. We can make our own snack and wash up the dishes when we've finished. We use real cups and real plates and are very grown up! https://t.co/zWVjVRN71e

Forest School today. It might be cold and wet, but we still love being outside, climbing trees and developing our muscles as we learn to take risks and manage our safety with the help of our teachers. https://t.co/LRXfcYKAa7

We've been having a busy old time here in pre-school. Thinking about the artist Kandinsky, and making wonderful circle pictures with buttons in Explorers Corner. https://t.co/x1dfxDlGDR
