Today we marked remembrance day with a whole school service led by our year 6 pupils. We were joined by members of the community, ex-servicemen who work in our school and our school governing body.
Early Years
Nursery Artwork
This week in Nursery we have been looking for shapes in the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. The children have then created their own pieces using different shapes.
Champion Boxer Visits Reception
This week reception were visited by a champion boxer. She talked to the children about having perseverance and grit and determination in order to achieve her goals. The children looked at her medal and tired on her boxing gloves!
We have had a fun week learning about Diwali, sharing the Gruffalo story and learning about Halloween.
Another busy week in Reception
This week we have been exploring the autumn colours, leaves and objects. The children collected and sorted the leaves in different ways. The children have been enjoying exploring how much a number represents with some numberblocks construction this week.
Another Busy Week in Reception
This week has been a busy one and we have done incredibly well attending school for a full day this week!
We started phonics this week and have so far learnt the sounds m,a,s,d,t. The dinosaurs helped with our writing – around the dinosaur’s bottom, up his tall neck and down to his feet!

A New Display
Nursery and Reception children have been busy exploring different types of transport for the school topic ‘On The Move’ as they have been settling into school. We think you’ll agree their mark making looks fantastic! Make sure you check out the display outside Papillons Rouges.
‘On The Move’ Curriculum Day
Today at Queen’s Hill Primary School, pupils were treated to a day of transport-inspired activities to launch our new topic ‘On The Move’. Children got to have a go at fixing a car tyre, experience what it might be like to be on board an aircraft and found out more about train safety with a visitor from Network Rail.

Respectful Learning Community
This half-term we are focusing as a whole school on ‘developing a respectful learning community’. In assembly yesterday, the children voted for the growth mindset crowns that they felt would be most relevant for this focus. The children chose challenge, teamwork, creativity and reflection!
First Week Back in Reception
Reception have been enjoying their new classrooms and making new friends. We have practised writing our names and talking about our school rules.
