Our story of the week last week has been Jack and the Beanstalk, and the children have been loving listening to the story and talking about the different characters, especially Jack and the giant.

Together, we explored what might happen next in the story and practised retelling parts of it, building confidence in speaking and listening.

The children then created their own feeling faces using colours from The Colour Monster. They matched colours to emotions, with yellow for happy, red for angry, blue for sad, pink for love, green for calm and black for scared, creating some thoughtful and expressive artwork.

In phonics, we revisited the nursery rhyme Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, focusing on listening carefully and joining in with the words. We also introduced a new sound, the phoneme n, and practised recognising it, saying it clearly and thinking of words that begin with n, such as net, nose and nest.

In maths, the children have been learning about tall and short, comparing objects and talking about their heights. This learning continued through play as they built towers and compared which were taller or shorter.

A week in Kingfisher Class

What a wonderful week it has been in Kingfisher Class, full of excitement, creativity and hands‑on learning.

On Monday, the children opened their new English text all about whales and were instantly fascinated. To really understand the incredible size of these creatures, they headed out onto the school field to measure the length of a blue whale, an astonishing 33 metres.

Tuesday saw preparations for the Colour Run continue as the children explored the Hindu festival of Holi. They thought carefully about how colours can reflect feelings and created thoughtful square artworks to express the emotions they wanted to share.

On Wednesday, PE lessons were full of energy as superheroes and villains emerged during dodgeball. The focus was on catching and dodging at speed, with brilliant progress shown in agility, confidence and teamwork.

Thursday brought the excitement of World Book Day. The children’s costumes were fantastic and added so much joy to the day. Thank you to our wonderful parents for your support in making it such a special experience.

The week finished with Science on Friday, exploring the fascinating world of human teeth. The children learned about different types of teeth and their functions before using clay to model and label what they had learned. We may have a few future dentists in the making.

World Book Day at Lower Heath has been full of joy, stories and a real celebration of reading.

Children arrived in brilliant costumes or comfy clothes, ready to curl up with a good book. Our book swap was a highlight once again, as children chose new stories to refresh their home libraries and discover fresh favourites.

In classrooms, activities linked to the National Year of Reading encouraged children to explore their interests and then Go All In, diving into books about the things that inspire them. Younger children brought their favourite stories to life using small world characters and puppets, while everyone enjoyed precious uninterrupted time simply reading for pleasure.

Phew, what a busy and exciting start to the term in Hummingbird Class 🌻

The children have loved exploring The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, learning all about how plants grow and what they need to thrive. Inspired by the story, they planted their own sunflower seeds and are already excited to watch, measure, and care for them over the coming weeks.

Alongside this, we have been enjoying singing, phonics work, and creative outdoor play, including chalk flower drawings watered with real water to see the colours change.
