I can’t believe we have finished our last week in Frog Class before our transitions! I am proud of how much everyone has grown and progressed over the last year ? We have had an amazing last week together and enjoyed doing all our favourite activities.
On our final day in class, we took part in sports day with our friends and loved going to the summer fayre to look at all the stalls- of course we enjoyed a few sweet treats.
Hope everyone enjoys their new classes. We will miss you all.
From Frog Class stag, Hannah, Lauren, Mandy & Jane!

Hi everyone, we’ve been getting in the summer spirit this week and finishing off filming our summer music video! You’ll be able to watch it soon.
Some of our favourite moments from this week have been dressing up in summer related accessories and pretending we were at the beach – Harry particularly loved the sunglasses. We had some sand, beach balls, beach umbrella, arm bands, goggles and a swim cap – we felt like we were really there!
Frog of the week
This week our frog of the week is Harry! Harry really challenged himself during P.E and climbed super high on the climbing frame! ?
New classes
You should have all now received a letter about your child’s class next year- we will be starting transition on the 5th. Within the next few weeks there will be a new teacher video on the website, so you are able to see who your child’s teacher is – some of you may already know them though! ? If you have any questions, please contact me on seesaw.

Hello,
We have had another busy week in Frog Class. The heat has made it really difficult to focus at times but we have enjoyed lots of cold drinks and ice lollies to try and cool us down. We have continued to work on our Maths and English and lots of fun topic related activities ?
Cooking:
In cooking we have been looking at fresh foods and different ways to cook them! We cut up some peppers, onions and mushrooms and with help from an adult, we looked at frying them in the frying pan! Emmanuel really enjoyed practicing the different ways to cut the vegetables.
P.E:
In P.E we loved using the climbing frame and we all completed a really challenging obstacle course to practice for sports day. Ollie and Logan really challenged themselves to go higher on the frame.
Creative:
In our Art lesson we made Father’s Day and perfected our gluing skills. We really try hard to make sure we put the right amount of glue on the card. Riley focused really well and did great overwriting of his name in his card.
Frog Of The Week:
This week our Frog Of The Week is Ollie!
Ollie had a really great library session this week and enjoyed looking at a variety of books.

Week commencing 07/06/2021
It’s been lovely to see everyone back this week and back into routine. We’ve settled back into doing our favourite activities and trying to take some of them outside to make the most of the sun!
Our topic this half term is To The Beach! We loved playing in our little beach area outside and using lots of different equipment to play with the sand and water.
In baking we made corn flake buns and tried to do this as independently as possible. We loved watching the chocolate melt and mixing it all up. The best part is eating them – obviously! ? In Art we created our own little beach collage with all the different things you may find at the beach. In Maths and English we have continued to embed all the skills we have learnt over the year and use them in different contexts. This is so important!
We LOVED moving snack outside to make the most of the sun! ?
Thank you to those who have sent sun cream in ? Please send in some cream and the consent form if you would like us to apply it.
