Kingfishers

Over the past few weeks in our whole school and class assemblies, we have been learning about Remembrance Day, the significance of ‘poppies’, the courage and bravery of those who worked and still work in the Armed Forces and the work of the British Legion too.

We received this certificate from the Colchester Foodbank saying ‘thank you’ for our food donations. Your kind contributions for our Harvest Assembly helped to provide 134 meals for people less fortunate than ourselves.

Hannah the Nurse came to talk to the children in Kingfisher Class about  germs and the importance of washing their hands properly. We met different germs – cuddly toys!! Hannah had a special light to show the children what germs they had on their hands.  

The Kingfisher Class had Mrs Hunter the Dental Nurse visit them. She told the children how to look after their teeth and what food is good and bad for them.    

Kingfisher class walked around the village finding out what buildings and shapes they could see. They saw the Post Office, Vets, Garage and Church. They found circle, triangles, squares and rectangles.  

Our new School Council were recently elected. One of their first decisions was deciding on the ‘Theme’ and ‘Names’ for the ‘House Groups’. It was decided, after much discussion, that the names of the Houses will be ‘Foxes’, ‘Badgers’, ‘Hedgehogs’ and ‘Otters’.

The ducklings have been an immense success with all the children and are now enjoying their moments of freedom on our pond! Catching them at the end of the day has proved very entertaining for anyone watching! Thank you to Mrs Martin for allowing to have them in school these last few weeks.
