This week’s poem is a well-known nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.
Who knew that paper and vinegar was a remedy for a banged head?!

Poetry basket: Let’s put on our mittens
This week’s poem is called Let’s put on our mittens.
It’s perfectly timed with the freezing temperatures this week!
We’ve been focussing on a couple of words in particular: snug/snuggly and mittens.
Poetry Basket: Wise Old Owl
This week’s poem is called Wise old owl.
One of the words in the poem that we’ve spent time talking about and learning is wise.
The class performed with an enthusiasm the owl would no doubt have admired – though perhaps not the level of dignity he had in mind!
Poetry Picnic: Mice
This week’s poem is called Mice.
One of the words in the poem that we’ve spent time talking about and learning is nibble. Hope you enjoy the performance!
Poetry Picnic: Shoes
This week’s poem is called Shoes.
There’s a lot of vocabulary that we’ve focussed on when learning this poem: dim, lonesome, tossed and pair.
Try to use some of these words at home to help pupils to remember them.
Poetry Picnic: A basket of apples
We’ve been learning and reciting another autumnal poem.
As well as enjoying listening to and saying the poems each week, we also use it as an opportunity to learn new vocabulary. One of this week’s words was sour. Look out for our sour (and sweet) faces as we read!
Poetry Picnic
Our Halloween themed poem for the week is called Pointy Hat. We hope you enjoy listening to us performing it!
Training day – Arty ideas !
We thought you’d enjoy hearing a little about what went on during our recent teacher training day! Part of the day was dedicated to developing our art knowledge and skills with our resident art teacher, Mrs Boulton.
Teachers got hands-on with paints, pastels and even soap! There was plenty of colour, laughter, and even a bit of friendly competition as we experimented with new techniques and ideas for upcoming art lessons.
The rest of the day focussed on other important areas too, including maths and inclusion. It was a full, productive day – and we left feeling ready and excited for the next half-term!
Poetry Picnic
The fun, seasonal poem we’ve been learning this week is Five Little Pumpkins.
Hope you enjoy the (slightly raucous) performance!
Poetry Picnic
The poem we’ve been learning this week is called Leaves Are Falling. They’ve really enjoyed this one and performed it with breezy gusto! The children loved joining in with the actions and exploring all the swirling, twirling movements of the autumn leaves.
