In Early Years we discussed harvest and how Autumn is the season of harvest. The children have made Autumn wreathes, choosing their autumnal objects and using cutting and sticking skills. We discussed the purpose of scarecrows, the children coloured and cut the scarecrows, then turned them into Dingly Dangle scarecrows using split pins. We used our scarecrows to move, during our Dingle Dangle scarecrow song.

Our super talented parent Jodie @MitchiMoo Cakes created this masterpiece in support of our MacMillan cake sale. A bear cake dressed in full Farrowdale House uniform.

In class and during assemblies, the children have discussed our School Values, making links to our British Values. The children have produced some outstanding work and demonstrated how each day in school we use: tolerance, democracy, mutual respect and the importance of following rules.

Our Year 1 & 2 pupils enjoyed a fun filled day of dinosaur excavation last week, excavating for dinosaur fossils and using some excellent language.

Our new feelings check in station in EYFS. This week we have been reading ‘The Colour Monster’, we now have a colour monster themed well-being station. Here the children can select a Pom Pom which best describes their feelings and place it in the corresponding pot. It’s a lovely opportunity to share positive feelings and experience as well as detect any negative ones and offer support and solutions for these. We’ve discussed why we feel this way and what makes us feel these different emotions.

Levels 1 and 2 of the Bikeability training were completed this week. Congratulations to all of our pupils for completing the courses and enjoying time outdoors.
