Understanding the World

Our learners engaged in sensory exploration using a variety of natural objects. These included leaves, pinecones, smooth stones, and wood. Children were encouraged to touch, feel, and describe the different textures they encountered. We introduced new vocabulary, spiky, rough, smooth.

Literacy

This week, our learners delved further into "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?", exploring its patterns, sequencing, and rhythm. They engaged with a classroom version of the story, excited to turn each page, confidently predicting lines and taking turns to step into each character’s role. This supported in building both their reading fluency and collaborative storytelling skills.

Physical Development

We have been continuing to develop our fine motor skills using different tools. This week, we have used hole cutters and scissors to cut leaves, practising careful hand-eye coordination and control. The children have really enjoyed exploring the textures of the leaves while strengthening their cutting skills.

Expressive Arts and Design

Following the vibrant Diwali celebrations last week, the learners have been further exploring patterns this week. Using grains, beans, and other natural materials, they expressed their creativity through unique and intricate designs. This was an engaging activity that also supported the development of their fine motor skills.

Canteen Acess for Primary Learners

We will begin phasing the purchasing of food from the canteen into Primary from Wednesday, 14th October, starting with Year 6 learners. To support the smooth operation of this process, learner cards will be kept in school and given to students at lunchtime to make purchases.

Please note: learners can only purchase food if they have a card.

If you would like your child to buy lunch from the canteen, you will need to purchase a learner card. Instructions for how to purchase the card can be found spare APP.

Please ensure there is sufficient money loaded onto the card to allow your child to buy food. You can use the SPARE app to top up the card, view what your child has eaten, and purchase meals in advance.

We are aiming to introduce this system to Year 4 and Year 5 learners after the half-term break. We need this time to carefully organise the process so that we can maximise efficiency and ensure a smooth experience for all learners.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during this introductory phase.

In case of any questions, please contact directly support@paywithspare.com
