Week 6
This week in Art, the children created beautiful snowflake foam prints. They carefully designed and engraved their own snowflake onto a piece of foam, then used rollers and paint to print the pattern four times in their sketchbooks, producing a striking repeated design. In RE, we explored the meaning of a Christingle and discussed what each part represents. The children really enjoyed making their own Christingles and took great care in assembling them. Finally, we have absolutely LOVED performing in our two Christmas concerts this week. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did! We also took some special class photos to remember the occasion.

Week 5
This week we visited Butterfly Class in Year 2, where they shared their instructions for making a “disgusting sandwich.” Our class listened carefully and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. In English, we brought Giraffes Can’t Dance to life through drama. The whole class took part in acting out the scenes, and volunteers then stepped forward to perform each one for their classmates. Finally, in Art the children explored printing techniques using plasticine and real shells. They enjoyed experimenting with different textures and patterns and produced some beautiful shell-inspired prints.

Week 4
This week in Science, we have been sorting animals into their three groups: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. In RE, we welcomed Katie from Notley Church, who visited to discuss the Nativity Story. She used puppets to retell the story and encouraged the children to think of ways they could send a message of love to others. In Art, the children completed their hand and foot canvases by adding beautiful flower outlines. They are very proud of their stunning finished pieces!

Week 3
This week, our table groups worked collaboratively to create a wonderful piece of artwork. Each child used either their handprint or footprint to make their mark on a large sheet of paper, choosing a different colour to contribute to the design. The children are extremely proud of their collective masterpiece, and next week we will be using these colourful prints as the canvas for our next exciting art project!

The children absolutely loved it when Aladdin came to White Court. Oh no they didn't!.... Oh yes they did!! Thank you to FOWCS for arranging such a fantastic experience.
Flamingo Gallery - Panto!
Mrs Woods, Mr Brownsell and Miss Bird were surprised to find themselves volunteered to dance in the Panto - much to the children's delight!

Week 2
This week we enjoyed celebrating our differences on Odd Socks Day — everyone’s socks were wonderfully unique! On Tuesday 11th November, I was very proud of Flamingo Class for respectfully observing our school’s two-minute silence. We had a lovely time creating fingerprint poppy artwork to help us remember this important day. In RE we explored our Christmas family traditions and discussed the different ways we prepare for the festive season. We looked at advent calendars and imagined what a kindness advent calendar might include. Each child then chose one thoughtful action they could carry out in the lead-up to Christmas. Parents, take note—some children pledged to tidy their bedrooms or even help by laying the table for dinner!

Week 1
This week in English, we have been busy planning our very own stories! We created unique characters, thought carefully about how they might get into a tricky situation, and planned how they could be rescued — all leading to a happy ending. In Science, we worked together to identify and sort different animal groups. In PE, we began our new dance module and worked with a partner to create a weather-themed dance to the count of eight beats.
