The Classes
Robins
Hello! We are the Robins class and the children in our class are 4, 5 and 6 years of age.
We have 4 adults in our class who help us throughout the week with our learning journey: Mrs Higgins, Mrs Brown Mrs Langford, Miss Reynolds.
We have Maths and Phonics learning every day. We are really lucky because on a Monday afternoon, Mystery Monday, we have a person who comes in at the end of the day to read us a story….we don’t know who it is until they arrive! We know that the people who come in to help us are safe because we trust that Mrs Stephenson and the governors keep us safe at school. If a visitor isn't wearing a badge we ask them who they are and tell a teacher.
We have a really big outside area where we learn and play. We wanted to perform on stage so one of the dads came and made us a proper stage and now we have a microphone, instruments, make our own costumes and tickets and often perform plays and concerts!
Some of us enjoy climbing so we have climbing wheels, tyres and planks and we design and make our own climbing and balancing routes. The main playground has a road track all around the edge and we often get the balancing bikes out to race around the track – we do lots of balancing, even on the new adventure playground on the main field we do balancing! Every week we go on a welly walk. We have visited Great Shefford, Chaddleworth and Trindledown Animal Farm, all local areas. We do cooking every Friday and have made our own butter and bread, cupcakes, cheesy crackers, Christmas puddings and even Welsh cakes for St. David’s Day.
Learning is fun here and we love it!

We have an outdoor area and also share the Robins outdoor area where we can build with the big wooden blocks.
In Science we do lots of learning including learning about the human body!
Owls
Hello! We are the Owls class and the children in our class are in
Year 3 and Year 4
We have 3 adults to help us learn, Mrs Sayer, Mrs Oberholzer and Mrs Chrimes and then on a Friday, Mrs Norman. We have an amazing school day - Mrs Sayer, Mrs Oberholzer, Mrs Chrimes and Mrs Norman help all of us so we can get better at reading and writing.
We feel safe in school because Mrs Stephenson and all the adults keep us safe. If a visitor isn't wearing a badge we ask them who they are and tell a teacher.
Our school teaches us Forest skills. We take it in turns to go outside once a week for the afternoon to learn how to look after ourselves in the forest. We learn how to climb trees, make camp fires and look after the wildlife. We talk a lot about what we do and work in teams.
Wednesday is music day and we are learning how to compose music. We play djembe drums, recorders and guiros.
Learning is fun here and we love it!
