Welcome back we have a lovely topic this half term "If you go down to the woods today!" based on Percy the park Keeper stories and our science unit. We will be visiting our nature trail to identify different local trees and their seeds and will be organising a local visit for a mini beast hunt.

We have been looking at old and new toys this half term and have decided we prefer our nice new toys! Class one have performed their class assembly to family and friends which was very successful. We are now concentrating on our Christmas production and will be practising hard over the next few weeks.
We have begun this year with a really exciting science topic on forces. The children have enjoyed investigating pushes and pulls and are now beginning to find out which surfaces toy cars can travel the furthest.
