On this page you can find updates about our learning and any special adventures we have been on. We hope you enjoy reading about our learning journey!

W.C. 05.05.25

We have had another brilliant week in Mercury Class. In literacy, we have continued to base our learning around the text ‘Handa’s Surpise’. This week Reception did a wonderful job of writing their own coherent sentences using conjunctions and adjectives to make their writing more interesting. We also learnt a new phase 5 sound in phonics, the split digraph ‘a-e, a-e, caveman Dave’. The children enjoyed recapping the previous sounds learnt ‘ay, ai’ and then they were challenged to see whether they could work out which sound was the correct one to use for given words.

In Maths, we have been exploring numbers beyond 10, identifying patterns between them and looking at different ways to write, make and draw them in order to build core number sense. We have been working hard to remember that numbers 10-19 are made up of 1 ten rather than just 1.

Although the bank holiday Monday meant we missed our planned Monday afternoon PE slot, we were lucky to have a cricket session delivered by Cricket East. The children did a wonderful job at listening to the instructions and worked super hard to improve their throwing and catching skills.

In PSHE we explored what makes a good friend. The children listed different characteristics and shared their own experiences of how they have been a good friend and how someone else has been a good friend to them. We also had another music lesson, where we explored body sounds such as clapping, tapping and stomping, alongside the voices we explored last week. We played a game where we had to pass a sound around the circle. It was really fun and the children did a fantastic job!

Mercury Class Update - 28.04.25

We have had another busy week in Mercury Class with lots of learning taking place outside in the glorious sunshine. In literacy, we have continued exploring the ficition text 'Handa’s Surprise'. The children drew pictures and wrote sentences about their favourite fruits, sequenced the beginning, middle and end of the story and create their own African savannah artwork mixing their own shades of red, orange and yellow.

In phonics, we consolidated our knowledge of learnt phase 3 and phase 5 sounds and also explored the alternative spellings for the previously learnt “air” phoneme “ear/are/ere”. Reception enjoyed the challenge of trying to work out which spelling was correct for different words given to them which led us onto a good discussion about homophones!

In maths, we finished our unit on 3D shapes with a 3D shape hunt at the beginning of the week. Then we moved onto recognising, copying and creating own our complex patterns, which the children were brilliant at. Towards the end of the week, they explored the work of artist Andy Goldsworthy and created their own patterns using loose parts outside.

In PSHE, we read the colour monster and talked about each colour and which feeling it represented. Then we talked about times when we have felt happy and when we have felt sad which everyone was able to share a story about. To end we played a fun game with the colour monsters. In forest school, we got rid of most of the weeds from our flower beds where we hope to get some flowers to plant. If you have any unwanted outdoor plants, we would be happy to accept them in our outdoor area.

We hope you have a lovely, slightly longer weekend,

Miss Connor & Mrs Passan

Mercury class have had a great few days back to school after the Easter holidays. On Wednesday, we celebrated St George's Day. As a class, we listened to an old tale about St George rescuing a maiden by slaying fire-breathing dragon and then we created our own England flag. Reception also had their first balance ability session with Mr Beavis from Hunts SSP on Wednesday. They thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace nature of the lesson and loved completing different challenges which involved moving on the bikes using appropriate strides to maintain good balance and control.

In English, we have been learning all about adjectives and how we can use them within sentences to make our writing more interesting. On Friday, Reception managed to write their own adjectives within sentences and were even able to join their ideas together using the conjunction ‘and’. In Maths, we have been exploring 3D shapes, recognising their properties and using our knowledge of 2D shapes to support this. In music with Mrs Passan this week, the children have been exploring their voices (speaking voice, whispering, loud, soft, low, high, fast, slow) and learning to do ‘my turn, your turn’.

We have also welcomed two new members to our class this week. They settled in very well and joined in so nicely and positively. A big well done to Mercury class for being so kind and making them feel so welcome!

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Miss Connor & Mrs Passan

Week Commencing 31st March 2025

We've enjoyed celebrating Easter this week with lots of lovely Easter activities in our continuous provision. The children have been matching easter egg numbers, designing easter eggs and creating easter cards. In maths we've been recapping some key skills, including doubling and halving, and recognising shapes and their properties. In literacy we finished our unit about writing instructions. The children wrote some fab instructions about how to catch a star, linking to the book by Oliver Jeffers. We enjoyed a lovely reward day on Friday with a visit from the Raptor Foundation who showed us some of their amazing birds of prey. We also did a shape hunt outside and watched a movie at the children's request!

As always we've had another busy week in Mercury Class. We've continued our English unit about writing instructions and have started exploring a story called How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers. In maths we have continued to deepen our understanding of number to 10, including finding doubles. We love singing our doubles song! We enjoyed another really active PE lesson in which the children have been working in pairs and on Wednesday we had our Easter Service at the church. We hope you liked our Easter hats! On Thursday and Friday we celebrated World Maths Day by creating some artwork using dienes. We also enjoyed an afternoon with year 5 who worked with us to make our own dominoes. The children showed great collaboration skills! What a busy week! 

Week Commencing 17^th March 2025

Another busy week in Mercury Class! Reception have been busy learning new phonics sounds! They are enjoying new challenges in phonics and are great at segmenting and blending to read new words. Nursery have started exploring initial sounds and are beginning to match objects that start with the same initial sound- well done nursery!! In maths this week we have been finding one more and one less than numbers within 10 as well as exploring and recording number bonds within 10. The children enjoyed playing a game with a partner using a dice and ten counters. Nursery have been singing lots of number songs and are getting very quick at showing a number on their fingers without counting them! They have been practising recognising numerals to 10 too! We’ve got some super mathematicians! In PE we’ve been developing our throwing and catching skills when working with a partner. The children practised an under arm throw and learnt how to get ready to catch. The children have also been learning about St Patrick’s Day and created some beautiful rainbow and glittery shamrocks. The children have been busy watering and caring for the seeds we planted last week. Today they enjoyed planting their own sunflower seeds ready to take home at Easter. They have enjoyed lots of outside time in the beautiful sunshine too and enjoyed using the sand and the mud kitchen. What a busy busy week!

Week Commencing 10th March 2025

We've been celebrating British Science Week! The theme this year has been 'adapt and change' so we've made lots of links to our current topic 'What lives in our school pond?' We've been exploring life cycles of frogs and butterflies, exploring how animals such as worms and caterpillars are adapted to their environment, preparing our garden for some growing and looking carefully at the patterns on butterfly wings. It's been lovely to see the children so engaged. They particularly enjoyed investigating what happens when you mix vinegar and baking powder! The children took part in some sea themes yoga in PE and practised different poses including a starfish, clownfish pose, penguin, jellyfish and seahorse pose. In literacy we've started a new unit all about instructions. The children have been learning about the importance of giving specific instructions and gave some careful instructions to Miss Connor on how to make a jam sandwich- with a few errors along the way which they thought was very funny! In maths we've been diving deeper into our understanding of numbers 8-10 and using subitising to identify numbers within these numbers. eg I can see 3 and 4. All together there are 7. In our music session this week we enjoyed watching Michael Rosen perform 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' and then we selected instruments to help us perform the story as a class! The children were fab! In forest school we began planting some seeds in our newly weeded flower beds. We can't wait to watch them grow!

Week Commencing 3rd March 2025

This week we've continued our poetry topic in literacy and the children have written shared poems and their own poems for a class anthology. Nursery have enjoyed listening to poems and talking about poems they liked and didn't like. Nursery have also been building on their phase 1 phonics skills through listening games. In maths we've been exploring time through sequencing events and thinking about days of the week, months of the year and how time is measured. The children have enjoyed singing our days of the week and months of the year songs. We enjoyed a lovely World Book Day on Thursday. Reception made beautiful books by designing a new front cover for their favourite book and writing a blurb to try to encourage others to read it. We enjoyed joining singing assembly on Friday and learning some new songs. During our forest school session we started to weed the Mercury Class flower beds ready for some upcoming planting in the next few weeks. Well done Mercury Class!

Week Commencing 24th February 2025

This week Mercury class have enjoyed learning about and comparing length and height in maths. They have been ordering items by length and height and we created a class height chart to measure our heights over the rest of the year. In literacy we've started a lovely new poetry topic linking to 'Out and About' by Shirley Hughes. The children have been discussing and exploring what it's like to be outside and what they enjoy most about being outside. They have been gathering useful vocabulary from their experiences playing with sand, water and mud and even wrote some lovely poems about being outside in their exciting writing session! In PE the children have taken part in some fitness games with Miss Connor and had great fun! We've been consolidating our phonics knowledge this week and have moved on to developing our phase 4 skills and learning about consonant and vowels. Nursery have been singing nursery rhymes and practising their listening skills through listening games. They have also been working hard to recognise and use numbers to 10! We have enjoyed investigating our school pond and have been pond dipping and identifying some of the creatures living in the pond. We were really excited to spot a newt! Big thank you to Mrs Tickle for supporting us with her super forest school knowledge! What a busy week!

WC 10th February 2025

What a busy week in Mercury! This week the children have been sharing arguments about spiders and carried out a small debate in their literacy lesson about whether spiders are good or bad! In maths they have been consolidating their learning from across the half term including doubling, one more, one less, sequencing numbers and recognising shapes. Nursery have really impressed us with their super maths knowledge! Keep it up! 

The children created some lovely posters about staying safe when using their devices and learnt a song about internet safety! They showed us that they were confident speaking to grown-ups if they saw something they didn't like. They enjoyed another lovely dance lesson with their Hunts SSP coach on Tuesday and it was great to see their super listening too! 

On Friday we made valentines cards for someone we love and the children wrote beautiful messages inside. I was also really impressed with Reception's writing in our exciting writing session! They wrote about reasons why they love someone in their family such as mum, dad, a sibling or a pet. It was great to hear all their ideas. 

Thank you for another lovely half term Mercury Class! 

WC 3rd February 2025

Another fab week in Mercury Class! We've been exploring one more and one less in maths along with finding doubles. The children enjoyed finding doubles all around us and using butterflies to explore doubles using Numicon. In English we have continued our unit on Aaarrgghh Spider! The children have been on spider hunts, drawing spiders, making webs and creating fact files about spiders. In phonics we have been consolidating our learning of phase 3 sounds and have really focused on reading and writing tricky words this week. We are so impressed with Reception reading! Nursery have continued to build on their phase 1 phonics skills through songs and games. Their listening skills are improving every session and they beginning to identify some rhyming words this week! We enjoyed another lovely dance session with our coach from Hunts SSP on Tuesday and have also been creating some lovely spider artwork! 

Week Commencing 27th January 2025

This week in Literacy we've started exploring a new story called Argh Spider! We've enjoyed finding out more about spiders and recording what we know about spiders already. The children then thought carefully about what they could like to find out about spiders and composed some questions. Reception recorded their own questions using a question mark! In maths this week we've really focused on understanding numbers 6/7/8 in more depth as well as finding one more and one less. We've been singing songs such as '5 in the bed and the little one said...' It's been great to see nursery working hard on their touch counting and some nursery children were even able to find one more and one less than numbers to 5! What superstars! The children have changed their library books and we shared a story together in the library. We've also been learning about Chinese new year and along with Mars Class we made some lanterns. In PSHE this week we've been thinking about what makes a good friend and had a great discussion about characteristics and actions of good friends. We also had a great team building session along with Mars Class. Well done everyone!

Week Commencing 20th January 2025

Another fab week in Mercury class this week! We've continued our theme of 'Once Upon a Time...' in Literacy by exploring the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The children in Reception worked together to write their own version of the story as a class book. Nursery have been drawing different characters from the story and we've all be doing some role play! In Maths we've been exploring mass and capacity. The children have enjoyed using the balance scales and ordering different containers. They've been working hard to predict which is the heaviest/lightest or which has the most capacity. 

The children enjoyed some parachute games this week with Miss Connor and were fab at listening carefully to the instructions! They have also been exploring Kandinsky artwork and created their own artwork- they look amazing! In phonics this week we have been recapping all the sounds taught so far as well as recapping some new sounds that needed revisiting. Reception have worked hard to recognise digraphs and trigraphs and we are beginning to see these used in their writing. Nursery have continued practising their phase 1 phonics skills and have been exploring songs, copying clapping patterns and moving their bodies to music! On Friday we had a lovely music session which linked to the story of Sleeping Beauty. The children learnt a song and performed it with actions. We also made the most of the wind during forest school and used ribbons to investigate wind direction. 

Week Commencing 13th January 2025

This week in Literacy we have continued to explore the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood.’ The children enjoyed role playing specific parts of the book and together we wrote a letter to the grandmother, warning her about the wolf’s terrible plan to eat her! Reception then wrote their own thought bubble from Little Red Riding Hood’s perspective.

In Maths we have continued to learn about numbers 0-5, recognising how larger numbers are made up of smaller numbers. Then we finished the week with consolidating our knowledge of one more and one less. In Phonics, we have been busy learning 4 new sounds: ur, ow, oi, ear. We have enjoyed learning the caption and action and listening to the story that links to each sound. They worked hard to sound out new words and to write their own sentences independently.

In our expressive art and design lesson, the children learnt about observational drawings. They looked carefully at a vase with flowers, taking their time to include all the finer details of the different shapes and colours. In P.E the children enjoyed learning about different dance movements. They explored different ways to move their bodies and particularly enjoyed being a human bop it. The children had to twist, spin, shake, bend and bop their bodies to the music.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Week Commencing 6th January 2025

Welcome back! We've enjoyed starting some new topics and units of work this week as we ease into the Spring Term. Our new class topic is 'Once upon a time...' In Literacy we've started to explore the story of Little Red Riding Hood with a focus on characters and settings. The children created a shared painting of a forest after some discussion about whether or not Little Red's mum should have let her walk through the forest on her own. 

In maths we are diving deeper into our understanding of numbers to 5 through recognising different representations of the numbers, building the numbers using resources in lots of different ways and developing an understanding that numbers are made up of other numbers. Nursery have been playing lots of dice games to help them recognise dots on a dice quickly without counting. 

Mercury class also enjoyed a lovely PE session with our Hunts coach again on Tuesday which gave us a busy but fun start back to school! 

In our circle time sessions this week we have been discussing keeping clean and the importance of washing our hands, brushing our teeth and brushing our hair. 

We are looking forward to another busy week next week!

Week Commencing 16th December 2024

This week in Mercury class we have enjoyed celebrating the build up to Christmas. The children have completed lots of lovely Christmas crafts such as making gingerbread men puppets, Christmas wreaths and tree decorations. They had another lovely PE session with Hunts SSP on Tuesday and have worked so hard on their balance and coordination skills over the half term. They should be really proud of their progress. We enjoyed our weekly visit to the library where the children choose a new library book each week and we always share a lovely story together. On Friday we celebrated reward day! The children decorated Christmas biscuits by cutting out fondant stars. We enjoyed eating them at snack time and the children also have one to take home. They were treated to watching Stick Man and Room on the Broom in the afternoon. What a lovely way to spend the day! 

Wishing all our families a lovely Christmas full of love!

Miss Bleakley and Miss Connor

WC 9th December 2024

Mercury class have been so busy this week. In maths nursery have been building on their number skills by practising recognising numbers and counting accurately. They have also been singing number songs such as Five Little Speckled Frogs. Reception have been consolidating some of their learning from this half term, including subitising, adding and subtracting groups of objects. In Literacy this week we have continued our nursery rhyme unit. The whole class have been sharing and learning nursery rhymes and thinking carefully about what makes a good performance. Reception have even been changing the words to 'Twinkle Twinkle.' You can view their performance on Tapestry. 

In PE the children have been focusing on balancing and using their core strength. Their sports coach from Hunts SSP was really impressed with their balancing and behaviour! The children also enjoyed a Christmas themed performance from Genr8. 

On Thursday we enjoyed making our Christingles in the morning and learning about what each part represents in the Christian faith. The children stood beautifully in church to light their Christingles in the afternoon and we were so impressed with their singing! They also enjoyed a puppet performance put on by the church! On Friday Miss Bleakley was really impressed with Reception's stories about a polar bear! Keep up the super work!

WC 2nd December 2024

What a busy week in Mercury class with our Nativity performances on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening. The last few weeks have been filled with rehearsals and lots of singing and I'm sure you'll agree they were amazing! We are so proud of every single one of them! 

We've also been busy learning and performing nursery rhymes this week as part of our literacy sessions. Nursery have been talking about their favourite nursery rhymes and sharing them with the rest of the group. Reception have been thinking carefully about what makes a good performance. 

In maths we've been consolidating our knowledge of numbers to 5 and 10. We've been writing them accurately and nursery have really practised recognising numbers to 5 consistently. 

We've been very busy with our phonics skills this week too. Nursery have been exploring rhyming words and have played phase 1 phonics games together. Reception have been learning new sounds qu, igh, ee and oa! They are doing so well and their reading is really coming on. It's lovely to see them accessing different books and stories. We have enjoyed visiting the school library to change our library books and always enjoy sharing a story together in there. On Thursday we went for a walk to the local church after learning about Christian weddings. We met Rev Nikki who talked us through all the different parts of a Christian wedding and we did some role play! She also treated us to a glass of squash! 

W.C. 25.11.24 - Mercury Class Update
This week we have started to feel very festive with lots of play rehearsals taking place and Christmas decorations being made. We have still managed to find the time to squeeze in lots of learning though and as always, the children have worked very hard! In maths, we started off the week by continuing our work on 2D shapes. The children loved going on a shape hunt inside the classroom and outside. Once everyone had found a shape, as a group, we discussed its properties, using mathematical vocabulary to describe the sides and corners. We were amazed to hear some children comparing different shapes by describing how they are similar and different to one another. We finished the week with exploring the concept of time when thinking about day and night. The children explored key events in their daily routine using language such as ‘first’, ‘then’, ‘after’, ‘before’, ‘morning’, ‘today’ and ‘tomorrow’. The concept of time can often be difficult for children to understand so this was a good place to start!
 

In literacy this week, we have continued to explore non-fiction texts and the children have been busy creating their own about tigers. As we have learnt previously that non-fiction texts must only include factual information, the children started off by gathering facts through videos. They chose their favourite facts to write first and then they wrote headings and drew pictures that were appropriate to their writing. We have been working really hard on our letter formation this week as it would be wonderful if you could continue practising this at home.

In phonics we have been continuing to learn phase 3 sounds (sh, th, ng, ai) learning the caption and action for each one. As all of these sounds are digraphs, it was a perfect opportunity to recap what digraphs are, recognising how they have two letters that make one sound. All of reception did a great job adding sound buttons to words to show the difference between a single letter sound and a digraph. At the end of each session, they wrote a given sentence using the new sound learnt. A particular tricky one this week was, ‘The thick fog,’ which demonstrated the difference between the ‘th’ sound and ‘f’ sound.
 

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend avoiding those nasty germs,
 

Miss Connor & Miss Bleakley

WC4th, 11th, 18th November 2024

We have had wonderful couple of weeks back in Mercury class. In our literacy sessions we have been learning all about non-fiction texts. The children started off by exploring a range of non-fiction books within the library, working together to spot what non-fiction books might be about. Then we identified the difference between these types of books and fiction books and discussed the key features of a non-fiction text. We now know that these books need a title, a contents page, photographs with captions, an index page but most importantly – facts! The children have worked hard to write their own bits of information suitable for non-fiction texts this week, making sure they include the correct punctuation too.

In maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of numbers 1-5 with a specific focus on 4 and 5. They have explored one more and one less which reception have been experts at! We have completed lots of practical games and used resources in every session which has really helped them understand the concept of number. They found finding the composition of 4 and 5 and number bonds within 5 slightly more challenging as this involved us using number sentences but they all had a great go at it! They thoroughly enjoyed using their arms to create the different symbols (add, take away, equals) and we’re sure they would to show them to you!

In phonics we have been learning the last of our phase 2 sounds (h, b, f, l, ss) and we have started learning some of the phase 3 sounds (j, v, w). We discussed how some sounds are digraphs as they have two letters that make one sound like ‘ss’ and reception have managed to use sound buttons correctly to show the difference between a single letter sound and a diagraph. The children have loved learning the caption and action for reading each sound but also the phrase for writing them.

In P.E we have been learning gymnastics with Ms G from Hunts SSP. The children loved moving around like different animals and using their bodies to make different shapes. This week we learnt about slightly different animals and explored how we could show their movements on different apparatus. The children enjoyed using their bodies to balance and some were even daring enough to jump up high before landing safely on the mat. We know the children are super excited for their session with Ms G again next week!

As part of our ‘celebrations’ topic this term, we have been learning about Diwali and how it is celebrated. We’ve been busy creating rangoli patterns within the continuous provision and then we made own diva lamps using clay. We carefully used our thumbs to make a hole that we could fit a candle in and then we decorated them with patterns and sequins. The children listened carefully and followed along with the instructions. They enjoyed selecting sequins to decorate their diva lamp.

It is turning very cold now and as we do spend lots of time outside, please remember to send your child in with a thick coat, hat and gloves.

Week Commencing 21st October 2024

The last week before half term has been another busy one in Mercury Class. In English, we had our final sessions on the fiction text “The Tiger Who Came to Tea.” The children created their own healthy menus for the zoo keeper to follow, they wrote their own questions and even wrote their own book review to share what they thought about the story.

In our maths sessions we have had a week of consolidation; revisiting previous learning to make sure we are secure in it before moving on after half term. We practised our number formation for numbers 1-5, learning rhyming phrases to go with each number, created our own repeated patterns, completed numbers bonds to 3 and subitised numbers.

In PE this week we finished our fundamental movements skills topic with a session based on football. We started the session with “Bean” a warm up game that incorporates all the different types of bean. For example, when the teacher calls out “Runner bean,” the children have to run on the spot as fast as they can.  Then, we moved onto some dribbling and passing practise. The children worked hard to keep the ball close to them whilst trying to use both feet. The children worked in pairs/small groups and it was wonderful to see them being so supportive of one another!  

We also baked our own gingerbread person as part of our ‘Amazing Me’ topic this term. We measured the ingredients using the scales and then mixed it all together carefully. Once the mixture was all combined, we used our hands to knead the dough which the children loved! They each then rolled out their own dough and pressed the cutter down to make their own biscuit. Hopefully they all enjoy eating them at home with you, they certainly smelt delicious.

On Thursday we enjoyed a lovely forest school session where we made pumpkin artwork using sticks! The children worked so carefully! We recapped some key skills in maths such as subitising and building numbers using games and maths equipment which was good fun! On Friday Reception completed a super exciting writing task and wowed us with their beautiful writing! They are working so hard and are picking up all the new phonics sounds so quickly!

Well done on an amazing first half term everyone! We wish you a wonderful and restful half term break and look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 5th November.  

Week Commencing 14th October 2024

This week in maths, we have explored 2D shapes, in particular triangles and circles. We spoke about the amounts of sides each shape has and how they are similar and different. We have worked hard to sort the shapes into different groups based on their properties and even managed to go on our very own shape hunt around the school to see what shapes we could find.

During our literacy session on Monday, we received another letter from the tiger! He told us that he had to return to the zoo as his family were worried but insisted on us sending him more of our wonderful writing so off to work we went. We have drawn and labelled a map of the zoo, written captions to go with our photographs from our tea party last week, written a recount all about the tea party and even written a list of healthy and unhealthy foods for the tiger. They have really worked hard with their letter formation this week and have certainly produced some brilliant pieces of writing.

In PE we practised our throwing and catching skills and then moved onto kicking. The children practised controlling the ball with their foot by stopping it first before passing it to their partner. Then we played some relay games that involved all these skills which the children loved!

The week in phonics, we have learnt the sounds g, o, c, k. The children have loved learning the action and caption for each sound and have also found the sparkle mark extremely helpful when forming each grapheme. It’s been amazing to listen to the progress each child has been making in their reading because of their hard work during our phonics sessions.

The children sang dingle dangle scarecrow at the church for the Harvest Festival on Thursday afternoon. They did a wonderful job and it was lovely to see so many parents there supporting us. 

We enjoyed dancing and moving to song during our music lesson on Friday as we responded to music and considered how it made us feel. We've also been singing some nursery rhymes! 

One week to go before half term, we know you're feeling tired but you're doing so amazing! Well done Mercury! 

Miss Connor & Miss Bleakley 

Week Commencing 7th October 2024

Wow, what another busy week we have had in Mercury class. We have learnt another four sounds in phonics (i,n,m,d) and revisited last week’s sounds (s,a,t,p). The children have loved learning the caption and action for reading each sound but also the phrase for writing them. They have written words containing the new sound and even had a go at adding their own sound buttons, what superstars!
