Our Learning

Autumn Term

November 2025

All the children have settled really well into Laurel Class. This term, we have enjoyed weekly sessions with Paul from Live Music Now and from Martina from Tracing Steps. The children have engaged really well with the sensory resources in Tracing Steps and particularly enjoyed using the huge magnetic shapes. Paul comes in to class every Friday morning to complete a Music session. The children loved hearing him play his trumpet and enjoyed changing the sound it made using their hands. Well done Laurel Class!

Settling In

September 2025

Laurel Class are getting into the swing of things this term—quite literally! With weekly Forest School sessions, the children have been embracing the outdoors: cooking delicious food over the campfire, relaxing in hammocks, and even swinging from trees!

Back in the classroom, we’ve been busy in Food Technology, learning how to prepare tasty and nutritious meals as part of a healthy diet. Our budding scientists have been exploring the differences between living and non-living things, and more recently, discovering what plants need to grow and thrive.

In English, we’ve been diving into the uplifting story Giraffes Can’t Dance, using it as a springboard to explore emotions, confidence, and the joy of different music and dancing.
