We have had a very happy start to the school year, exploring our new classroom, getting to know each other and making friends.

Here is a little glimpse of what we have done this week...

This week we shared the story 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch' by Ronda and David Armitage. We paused after Hamish the cat's failed attempt to guard the lunch basket and had a wonderful time thinking up alternative ways that Mr and Mrs Grinling could try to prevent the pesky seagulls from pilfering Mr Grinling's very delicious lunch. 

The Reception children were eager to write a postcard to Mr and Mrs Grinling to share their ideas...

Nursery and Reception had great fun designing and creating their own lighthouses, modifying and extending their ideas as they went along...

We were all very impressed at the array of delicious food Mrs Grinling packed in the lunch basket for Mr Grinling, and some of the Nursery children were inspired to design their own favourite lunchbox...

Excitement has been building in Darling Class ahead of the King's Coronation.
