Madeline from Pickering Library joined us in assembly to celebrate and give out certificates from the Story Garden Reading Challenge. Here are just a small number of the children who were presented with their certificates today, reading six books over the summer. Congratulations to all of our children who either joined in with or completed the Library Summer Reading Challenge 2025!
Adventurer and explorer Ranulph Fiennes famously shared the Wainwright quote that we regularly use, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing”. Our children have certainly shown that this week during some very wet and soggy weather. What the weather has done is open up a whole host of different learning opportunities for our adventures and explorers, including our Reception children experimenting with powder paints outside in the rain and Year Two making shelters in Forest School. Children were dressed for the rain though and so it didn’t dampen any of our learning outside and even led to some dancing in the rain! What fabulous learning attitudes everyone – well done!
What a busy few weeks learning we have had with members of our community about our bodies. Thanks to Dental Nurse, Sarah Ferguson and Midwife, Anna Goode who have inspired some fabulous learning about the importance of and how to look after our teeth as well as the growth and development of humans as babies. It has been a fantastic combination of fun and learning!
Over the last two mornings, it has been a pleasure to welcome families into our Year One and Two classrooms to help with 3D map making as part of our Geography learning. Children have been thinking about physical and natural features and considering how features can be represented. What features can you spot? Can you see roads, roundabouts, hills and rivers? Super effort everyone!
It has been fabulous to welcome families to our OPAL stay and play session yesterday afternoon. OPAL stands for Outdoor Play and Learning and is a programme designed to support schools maximise the use of their school grounds for high quality play at lunchtimes and playtimes for children. We hope that all of the families who came to play could see why we are a Platinum level OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC. Everyone certainly looked to be having lots of fun, co-operating well and showing great creativity and imagination! Families will receive flyers with our school newsletter today asking for any listed, unwanted items that you may have that we can reuse in play! Thank you for your ongoing support.
