Cursive writing

Wow, what a wonderful term we have had in the Butterflies. We have been so busy but I think our biggest achievement is our beautiful Christmas Carol Concert that we performed to you in the hall. It has been such a lovely term and the children have made us exceptionally proud. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Finally, we would like to say thank you so much for all our lovely cards and gifts.

Take care and stay safe

Mrs Morrison, Mrs Hammond and Mrs Caverly

STEM week

Butterflies class had great fun during STEM week. We enjoyed our visit from Mr and Mrs Blair and we learnt a lot about the environment and we also made a torch. Butterflies also used newspaper to make clothes and modelled them in a fashion show!

HSBC came to visit Butterflies and talked to us about the coins we have. We searched for treasure and then rubbed the coins. We also added some money together and thought about spending and saving money carefully. We really enjoyed our day and learnt a lot!

Reverend Peter came to visit Butterflies and told us the Christmas story. We loved hearing it!

Drumming and Percussion Performances

We have been learning how to play various world percussion instruments and djembe drums during our music sessions over the past two terms. We have been looking at dynamics and tempo changes while developing our rhythm skills! We performed what we've learnt in front of the school!

More Drumming!

Just a note

We have loved receiving all of the lovely show and tell items; however, we only have 10 minutes twice a week for show and tell so not all children get to have their turn. We encourage you to only bring in one show and tell every fortnight to allow opportunities for all children to have their turn. We would like to have time for Story time too!
