“Learning, loving and encouraging through Christ.”
Welcome to St Nicholas to all our new children, they have all settled very quickly into school life and are excited about their learning. We are really proud of how the children represented the school today when walking down to the church an
Here is the overview of what we will be learning this term during our topic Marvellous Me.
James and Kate Wimble brought their tractor in to show us. it was enormous. The children asked lots of questions and were given seeds to plant in our garden centre role play area
.
This week Mrs Pearce found some magic beans on her way to school. Miss Simmonds threw them out the door at the end of the day on Monday. Tuesday morning a beanstalk had grown over the slide and a castle had appeared.
The children made warning signs and drew pictures of the giant. We had a go at making our own giant castle using the wooden blocks outside. It was great fun !
Wow what a day!
Today we had a visit from James who is a trial bike specialist. He told us that he had been learning his skills since he was 15. He has been the British Champion 4 times and the European Champion twice. He was amazing he could make his bike jump over people and objects.
When we got back to the classroom we found a letter from The Avengers asking us to complete two special missions. We had to make a superhero costume and train to be superheroes on our obstacle course outside. We had a great day.
Today we visited the church for our Easter service. The children all behaved so well. We sang the song “Spring Chicken”.

We’re starting our summer reading challenge. For your child to get a raffle ticket they need to have read 5 times in a week. Please could you mark this in their normal reading record and on their Summer Reading Challenge record as well. Each raffle ticket they get will be entered into a draw at the end of term. There are two Kindles to be won so the more raffle tickets they have the more chances there are to win. Good Luck!
This week we have taken part in science week. On Monday we worked with Year 1 and 2. We investigated wind direction by blowing bubbles and timing how long they took to burst, how far they travelled and which direction they travelled in. It was great fun
. 
We have also investigated making slime from corn flour and water. When we tried to pick it up it ran through our fingers and when we pressed it hard it went solid. On Wednesday, in the warm sunshine, we watched it turn back into a powder
.
Today we had a visit. Catherine from Tesco brought in some different fruits for us to try.
They tried, mango, pineapple, orange, avocado and passion fruit.
Both classes said the mango was their favourite.
Catherine also gave the children goodie bags, stickers and take home with them.
We really enjoyed our morning
Welcome back
Hopefully everyone is now recovered from the sickness bug!
Next week we will be making and eating gingerbread men and pancakes, as part of our food topic.
Please let a member of staff know if you do not want your child to eat their gingerbread man, or pancake in school.
Gluten free options will be available.
Please remember to read with your child every day.
Today the children took part in the Fun factory. This was activities set up to encourage the children to move in different ways. They took part in races running. jumping and balancing with different pieces of equipment. They also played games where they practised their throwing and catching skills. It was great fun!
