Squirrels Class weekly theme Celebrating Squirrels! We can't believe the school year has come to an end so quickly, what a journey we have had! The children have been amazing this year - hard working, eager to learn, full of excitement and buzz and most of all kind and helpful members of the class. We feel privileged to have spent this past year with them, supporting them as individuals and working together as a team. We are immensely proud of the progress each and every one of them has made - what an incredible journey to witness as their teachers. Thank you to the parent community for supporting us, helping your child with their learning, reading at home, volunteering on trips for us and more. Without you we would not have the wonderful group of children that we have in Squirrels. We know that they are ready for their next adventure, moving into KS1 with determination and a willingness to learn more. How lucky we are that we get to be a part of that next stage with them in Year 1, Miss Oliver as their class teacher and Mrs Fitzgerald as the teacher in the parallel Year 1 class. Have a wonderful summer with your families, enjoy special moments together and recharge. We look forward to seeing you in September! Miss Oliver, Mrs Fitzgerald and Miss Shaw x

Last week's poem was:
Pitter Patter
Pitter patter falls the rain,
On the roof and window pane.
Softly, softly it comes down,
Makes a stream that runs around.
Flowers lift their heads and say,
“A nice cool drink for us today.”
What the children say...
In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.
Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week.
Our PE days for both classes are:
- Tuesday
- Thursday
RE learning
In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children.
