Beech Class had a fantastic day at Deen City Farm! Their science topic is all about living and growing, so it was great to see and feed some real life farm animals. Well done, boys!
We have had lots of fun trips going on in school recently, including Forest Class’ trip to Higher Drive park in Purley and Orchard went to Beddington Park.
Last week, Lake Class went to Tesco to work on their social skills and independence. They found their own fruit and paid for it at the till, and then visited the cafe!
Lion class had the most wonderful time visiting the Natural History Museum as a part of our ‘Rumbling World’ topic. We were able to take the escalator up into the volcano and even had a turn on the earthquake simulator. We had to be very brave!
Orchard class did some super shopping at Tesco today, to buy ingredients for their Easter nest cakes and some extra snacks for their class party. They were so grown up and sensible, walking to Tesco, doing good listening, walking around Tesco with their partner and using indoor voices in the shop. They ticked off items on their shopping list and paid at the till. They went slightly over budget but luckily Tammy was able to use her Clubcard to bring the price down! Well done Orchard Class!
Willow and Valley Class had a fantastic trip to Surrey Street Market, where they were able to see, try and buy some African foods as part of their Amazing Africa topic. The market traders were very friendly and helpful, one gentleman gave the children some yam and chicken to try, and spoke to the children about the African foods he sells. A kind lady also bought the children some coconut and sugar cane, which they really enjoyed trying – it was so sweet! Look at all the fruit they bought!
Beech class enjoyed a fun morning out in Croydon. The children explored the Central library, making new friends from other schools, looking around the museum and enjoying the sunshine and play area in Queen’s Park.
Giraffe and Badger had a fab day at the Horniman Museum seeing the animals, fish, exploring the museum and playing in the gardens.
We had a fantastic week celebrating Book Week and World Book Day last week! Children took part in lots of fun book related activities in class and around the school. We had a visitor reading immersive sensory stories for the children and their parents in the LRC, fun art activities and lots of hands-on play activities related to their stories. The SALT team also ran some fun and messy sensory story sessions and children practiced forming sentences about the pictures from the stories. Some children even put on a very entertaining show on Thursday for their parents! All the children had the opportunity to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair too! Around school, we had a door decorating competition, with some very worthy winners and lots of lovely fun displays around the school. We wrapped up the week with a dress up day, with lots of very enthusiastic and unrecognisable pupils and staff! What fun!
We had the most amazing trip to the East Surrey Museum today. We parked up at the library and popped in for a quick story, before heading to the Museum to explore all of the old toys 🧸 and artefacts. We thoroughly enjoyed playing with the various toys and learning about what life was like pre-technology. Before heading back to school, we took a walk down to McDonald’s 🍟 where they threw us a party 🎉 and we were able to practise our money skills 💷. We had a wonderful time!
