Learning Adventures!

As the frosty days roll in, our classroom has been buzzing with excitement, creativity, and plenty of curious minds at work. Here’s a peek into what we’ve been up to lately:

Our English lessons have taken a playful turn as we explored comics through sensory storytelling. Using Milo, the Cat as our main character, the children experienced sound effects, textures, and expressive language to bring each comic panel to life.
They loved acting out Milo’s adventures, thinking about how he might feel, move, and sound in different situations. This helped build confidence in storytelling, sequencing, and expressive communication.

In maths, we’ve been learning all about coins, their values, and how we use them in everyday life. The children handled real and play coins, sorted them and matched them to amounts. Many enjoyed role‑playing shopkeepers and customers — a brilliant way to make maths meaningful and fun.

Our budding artists have been designing collages. Our art sessions were a burst of colour and creativity as we made collages using a mix of papers, fabrics, and natural materials. The children explored layering, texture, and shape, and each collage reflected their individual style.

In RE, we’ve been reflecting on kindness and being a good Christian. As part of our RE learning, we’ve been looking at what you might find inside a church. We were very lucky to have a visit from a local priest, who brought along some special items and answered the children’s thoughtful questions. The children were fascinated by the objects and symbols, and showed great curiosity and respect throughout.

Science has been all about animals and humans. We’ve compared different species, learned and named our body parts, and discovered the amazing ways living things survive and thrive.

It’s been a term full of imagination, exploration, and discovery. The children have truly embraced every subject with enthusiasm. To keep everyone moving and grooving, our pupils continued with their weekly CE, Sensory PE, Hydrotherapy, and PE sessions.

We hope you have enjoyed our blog post and pictures!
