It has been a busy last few days at Pickering Infant School. We have had our annual Service at St Peter's and St Paul's Church, Pickering and a visit from Father Christmas during our Carols around the tree. We would like to wish all within the community and our families a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
As we get towards the end of a very busy term, it is a good opportunity to celebrate the learning that children have been doing this term in forest school. The staff have been particularly impressed this term with the tool skills as children move through school. With lots of opportunities, the children are becoming more independent with their skills in using tools safely to create some lovely items.
The children in Years One and Two have been putting the finishing touches to their peppermint cream packaging so that they could bring them home today. They had a very busy morning yesterday in the Victorian version of Pickering Infant and Nursery School. They spent the morning in the strict Victorian classroom learning the 'three rs', doing 'drill', playing with a hoop and stick, creating thaumotropes (spinning discs) and making peppermint creams. A great opportunity to bring their learning about Victorian classrooms to life!
Thank you to the residents at Mickle Hill by Rangeford Villages for their warm welcome this morning as our Mini Sing Squad performed beautifully a selection of both modern and traditional Christmas songs. The children did a fabulous job – well done everyone! Thanks to the staff and residents at Micklehill for the juice, biscuits and other sweet treats!
Our Year One and Two children have had a fabulous time over the last two days on their journey through time at York Castle Museum. They have loved exploring the museum but, in particular, the Victorian style street done out to celebrate the festive season! A huge well done to our children for their curiosity and amazing learning behaviours and a big thank you to staff and volunteers. Thanks to Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School for their contributions to all of our school visits making this more affordable for school and families! These visits are so important in bringing to life our learning across the curriculum.
