This week we looked really carefully at the trees outside and found some minibeasts! The caterpillars are particularly great at being camouflaged! We once again finished our week with an assembly with Mrs Smith where Oscar and Louis received Golden Butterflies… well done! Finally, we have enjoyed talking about football from where Europe is, what […]

Today we enjoyed our very own Foundation assembly outside with Mrs Smith. We listened to Grayling 4 sing us some songs and Mrs Smith presented some Golden Butterflies. Stevie received the first Golden Butterfly for her amazing progress and caring manner. The second Golden Butterfly was for ALL of Grayling Foundation for being such a […]

Outside we have acted out The Three Billy Goats Gruff, made Jack’s beanstalk, followed recipes in the mud kitchen and even managed to make the most of the rain today with the guttering! Today we also voted for our favourite Traditional Tale […]

Well done on a fantastic healthy week Grayling! We have had lots of fun dancing outside, racing, orienteering, baking and much more! We hope you all have a great half term!

This week we have focused on measuring in maths where we have compared the size of farm animals and had a go at estimating how many cubes long the pictures may be. Wednesday is our creative rotation day and we enjoyed exploring the apparatus in PE, created colourful spirals in art and retold the story […]

This week we have been learning greetings and animal names in french including bird, duck and frog from retelling the story of Hocus the Dinocroc! The children have looked at the halving and noticed it is the opposite of doubling. They remembered to share their cubes equally between them to have half each. When the […]

We hope you all had a lovely Easter break. The children have been telling us about many Easter egg hunts in homes, gardens and at The Great Field with family members 🙂 We are beginning our new learning this half term all about how things grow. We will look at the life cycle of plants […]
