Another busy week at school! As soon as the children arrived on Monday they noticed how big our caterpillars had grown! They look like they will be super pupa’s before long! Click here to find our more about the life cycle of a butterfly.

The weather has meant we have been able to be outside lots! The children love to learn in the natural environment. Our flowers are blooming, we have strawberries, blackberries, beans and peas. The pumpkins and squash and corn are also looking promising!

Worship

This week we read the Gospel which focused on Jesus’ gift of bread and fishes and how he fed the 5000. We discussed the word ‘nourish’ and how we eat healthy foods to nourish our bodies but also how else we could be nourished, perhaps a special friendship, being praised praying and by opening our hearts to Jesus. With Jesus’ love we will always be nourished.

We watched a short video about the the feeding of the 5000. Click here to watch.

Jubilee Year of Hope Pledge

The Jubilee Year of Hope, designated for 2025 by Pope Francis, is a special year of pilgrimage and reconciliation within the Catholic Church, emphasizing themes of hope, solidarity, and renewal. A key aspect of this year is the "Jubilee Pledge," where individuals and communities commit to actions that promote justice, love, and peace, both locally and globally.

The Jubilee Pledge is a personal and communal commitment to living out the values of the Jubilee Year, especially by promoting Catholic Social Teaching. It involves promises to act with justice, love, and peace in everyday life, recognising the dignity of every person and the interconnectedness of the global community.

This week we visited the worship area in school to think about issues like poverty, injustice, and the impacts of conflict and climate change. Next week we will be writing our collective promises. Examples include caring for creation, working for justice, and promoting forgiveness and reconciliation.

Meet number 10

We have started to investigate the number 10: we found out: Ten is both ten ones and also one ten. This incorporates the concept of unitising. young children needs lots of experience of exchanging ten ones for one ten and recognising their equivalence ( they have the same value). Ten plays a special role in other numbers that follow, e.g. 11 is one ten and one more!

Under the Sea

This week we have been finding out what creatures live under the see. We have already found out lots of fun facts about whales and sharks! The children are in the process of creating and underwater display!

Hello everyone,

We have been having lots of fun and learning in the sun in nursery this week.

We have some great news, as our caterpillars have been growing this week (there are really big!). The children have loved coming in each day, checking on how they are doing, and watching them change each day. We can't wait to see what happens to them next week.

We have met the number 10 this week which the children have been exited about. They have all been working their brains by putting numbers in order 1 to 10, and working out number puzzles. We love numbers in nursery.

We have started a new topic all about 'under the sea'. We have been looking at different types of marine life, considering what they look like, the sounds they make, and what we think they eat. The children have been creating some wonderful paintings of different marine life to go on the wall. They look so marvellous. Well done children.

Have a fantastic weekend in the sun, and see you all next week.

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks blog

This week we have met number 10 and have practiced counting to 10 at every opportunity. Our favourite was counting 10 jumps. Why not see if your child can do this for you?

We have also grown our brains as we discover creatures that live under the sea, including the 50 toothed shark. We drew our own underwater world in chalk in the garden.

We were excited to find out our strawberries were ready to eat. So we washed them and ate them in the garden. They were delicious!

Work out Wednesday was so much fun, as we got to explore Reception and play with our Reception friends. It's not long now till our oldest children will be in Reception. Check here for some advice on school readiness. Click here.

Have a wonderful weekend
