We have had a variety of wonderful characters in Froglets today! From farm animals to superheroes… Disney characters to dinosaurs… elephants to caterpillars & everything in between! We have celebrated with silly songs, LOTS of stories and time with our Year 6 buddies! Happy World Book Day everyone!
We have LOVED our farm topic this term and have enjoyed exploring our key text – ‘Oh Dear!’ by Rod Campbell. If you are not familiar with the story – here is a link so you can watch it at home.
We have played with mud, animals and tractors, matched animals to their homes and their families, played farm sound bingo, made muddy footprints with the animals in paint and learnt lots of signs to help us retell the story.
We hope you all had a fabulous fun-filled festive break & you’re ready for a brand new term! We can’t wait to see all our current Froglets return over the next few days & also send a huge welcome to our new families. We are looking forward to getting to know you all 🙂
We LOVED running for Rowcroft this morning! We completed 5 laps of the playground wearing Christmas jumpers and antlers! So far we have raised £640 – wow!!
Christmas has arrived in style this year! We have enjoyed decorating our Christmas trees, making sparkly ornaments to take home, dressing up as angels, santa & elves, exploring winter animals and our Frozen small world and learning lots of Christmas songs for our craft afternoon tomorrow….
The Froglets staff would like to say a BIG Happy Christmas to all of our wonderful families!
We all went to the Orchard this morning to find the frosty leaves! We made patterns on the tables, found frost-covered leaves, crunched the grass with our feet, looked for sparkles in the sunshine and felt the cold frost with our fingers! We thought about F words like frost, Friday, fish fingers and Froglets!
On Monday we all wore odd socks to celebrate everyone being different & then in the afternoon a Spanish visitor called Patty came in to teach us some Spanish songs.
On Tuesday we remembered those who died in the war by making a poppy wreath and observing the 2-minute silence.
On Wednesday we partied at the disco and on Thursday we had a rest!
Today we have celebrated Children in Need by finding pudsey bears hiding around the Lily Pad classroom, painting spotty bandanas and colouring in pudsey bear sheets!
What busy Froglets we have been 🙂
Just before half term we had the most amazing fun at Forest School! We spent hours bug hunting / making apple bird feeders / playing in the mud kitchen / squeezing apples to make juice / building dens / making shakers from tubes and stones and making lots of muddy memories!
Please check out Tapestry for lots of fabulous photos! Thank you Mrs Little for exploring the secret garden with us – we’ll be back for more fun soon 🙂
We use Tapestry in school to document some of your child’s learning. It is used in Froglets and Reception as a form of assessment and we share these photos with you at home so you can see a little snapshot of what they have been doing. We would love to see you add images from home of their learning too, you can also like & comment on photos if you would like to. Below is a little explaination on how to log in – activation emailed were sent to you on the 14th / 15th October. Any questions please do ask 🙂

This term our BIG question has been… ‘What makes me special? We have had a close look at our faces to accurately paint our portraits, (which can be seen in the entrance to the Pond classroom) and have been talking about who lives in our houses to discover that all families are completely unique! This week we will be talking about our pets…. I wonder if anyone has an unusual pet at home?
