Monday 22 January 2024 Nursery Fire Engine Visit On Monday, Nursery spent an exciting morning with Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, as part of their learning about people who help us. First, the fire crew talked to the children about the important work of the emergency services and how to dial 999. Next, a few brave volunteers dressed up in fire-fighting kit. Even one of the teachers joined in! When the volunteers took the kit off, they had to roll the trousers down and leave them over the boots, so that the next firefighter was able to put them on in a hurry! After that, the class took turns to squirt the hose on the playground, some children even made a rainbow, as their water hit the sunshine. Finally, the pupils looked at the flashing blue lights and listened to the sirens, as the fire engine and crew drove off to their next emergency.
Friday 17 November 2023 Magical Mayhem visit Year 4 As the mystical magician waltzed into Year 4 on 6th November, a spark of curiosity danced in the air. With a flick of his wand and a burst of unicycle, he introduced Leon and the enchanting realm between reality and imagination and a place where the children’s imaginations could run wild. The children, wide eyed and spellbound, realised that this term would be full of magical adventures, truths and dares on their journey of belief. They watched as Leon entered the place between full of secret incantations and marvellous experiences, joining in with the circus skills he saw. Balancing peacock feathers and juggling created beaming faces along with many squeals of delight. Finally, they saw Leon return to reality but with a belief in magic. Now it’s time to put the magic into practise in their writing. After all, who needs ordinary when you can have extraordinary in the place between?
