SEE US IN ACTION!
Spring Term 2
In Wren Class this half term, our topic has been “Under Our Nose”. This has allowed us to really get to know our school and the local area. We can now recognise Charlwood on Google Maps and know that Charlwood is near Gatwick Airport and the M23. We have loved looking at photos of the local area and have enjoyed swapping between the street view and the aerial view when using digital maps. We have also looked at traditional paper maps and we are beginning to recognise some of the easier symbols found on maps. For our Personal Development lessons, we have explored the concept of communities and we now realise that each person is part of many communities, including family, school, Surrey or Sussex, England and UK communities.
We have enjoyed working with our PE coach this half term and have been learning the skills required for football. We can now dribble a ball using either foot, stop and then kick the ball to a friend. In our other PE session of the week, Miss Vigar has been using the Lawn Tennis Association resources to teach us some basic tennis skills. Our ability to perform nimble footwork is improving with each lesson – Wimbledon, here we come!
During our RE lessons, we have been learning the Easter Story. We hope that you enjoy our work on Palm Sunday, which we will be sharing with you in the Easter Service at St Nicholas’ Church. We have also learnt about Mothering Sunday. In Wren Class, we hope that all the special ladies in our lives enjoyed their Mother’s Day cards and the bath salts which we hand blended ourselves, especially for them.

Spring Term 1:
Our Topic this half term has been "Traditional Tales". We have listened to stories which our parents will have heard when they were growing up, such as Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs and Cinderella, but we have also enjoyed some traditional tales from other cultures too. As part of our Language, Creative and Understanding of the World Development, we have set up a theatre in our roleplay area and we have enjoyed re-enacting our trip to London to see The Lion King. A highlight of our half term has been a whole school Arts Day themed around our Lion King experience, where we learnt how to make puppets, play Djembe drums and design masks. In our PE this half term, we have been learning to play hockey and have participated in gymnastics sessions. We can now control the ball with our hockey stick, balance and climb.

What a busy term! We have continued with our reading, writing, phonics and maths and have even had time to squeeze in a Christmas party!
We have worked really hard during our dance sessions and have enjoyed performing our Angel Dance during the Nativity. Thank you to Lizzie for all her help with the choreography. We have also had fun learning all of the song words too!
We can tell you about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, Diwali, Remembrance and Hanukkah.

Autumn Term 1:
In Wren Class this half term, our Topic is "3, 2, 1, blast off!" We have been enjoying learning all about Space. We have planned expeditions to distant planets, dispatched rockets and written notes on the experiments we have carried out in space... all from our International Space Station Roleplay Area.
Alongside this, we have also been working hard to build new friendships and an understanding of the rules within our classroom and the wider school. As part of our harvest celebrations, we made Apple Crumble Pies and vegetable stew.
A photo of our first day in school has also appeared in the local newspaper.
