from Nursery to Sixth Form
Every week the Bulletin newsletter is sent home from the School Office highlighting important forthcoming dates and events, along with a round-up by Mrs Ainsley, Nursery Manager, of the week gone by.
We had a fantastic day this week at BCA Zoo. Our day started with an exciting ride on the minibus or coach to the zoo not far from here in Pinkneys Green where we were met by a lovely lady called Emily who was our guide for the day.
I have to start this week’s bulletin with a wow, wow, wow. The nursery children were absolutely awesome on their sports day. It can be quite easy to think that these children are school age children with the way they coped with the morning.
This week has been full of fun activity learning about lifecycles. The children were amazed to hear that the spiky caterpillars would eventually transform into beautiful butterflies.
Our topic on minibeasts started this week and the children have been using various media to create an array of bugs.
This week we started our topic of ‘Planting and Growing’ and there are explosions of colour everywhere. The children have been planting seeds, watering the flowers and vegetables and learning scientific words for parts of a flower.

This week everyone has thoroughly enjoyed having the chicks. From Nursery to Sixth Form, parents to teachers have all spent countless moments staring at these special little time wasters.
This week the children have been exploring their creative side. The pond was opened up as an observation area instead of for pond dipping, and the children took the opportunity to use a variety of media to create what they saw.
We have been learning all about frogs in the past couple of weeks; the colours they are, the noises they make and their lifecycle. We sadly still haven’t had any frogspawn in our own pond area, but the children have spent lots of time in the pond area, observing what they see and even engaging in observational drawing.
Welcome back! We are looking forward to a term filled with exciting opportunities for the children.
Despite the sudden drop in temperature this week, the Spring and Easter craft and activities are in full swing. The children have loved exploring the jumping chicks and rabbits, discovering paint mixing, sorting sizes of eggs and hearing the real story of Easter.
This week, we have simply been looking at ‘blossom’. It is a great indication that Spring is on its way and that Easter is just round the corner.
