Chestnut Week 8, by Miss Sims

Date: 20th Oct 2025 @ 1:16pm

We have enjoyed our final week of this half term in Chestnut Class. 

The children have worked very hard this term and have all settled really well into the new academic year. 

This week we have read the story Tabby McTat and produced some lovely pieces of writing based on the story. 

The chidlren in Year 1 have continued to learn about Addition and Subtraction within 10, whilst the children in Reception have learnt about the numbers 1-5. 

The staff in Chestnut hope that you all have a wonderful half term break, and look forward to seeing you all back on Tuesday 4th November. 

 

 

Chestnut Week 7, by Miss Sims

Date: 20th Oct 2025 @ 1:11pm

We have had a lovely week in school. 

 

This week we have been learning about Sonia Delaunay and studying her art work. 

The children enjoyed learning about primary and secondary colours, mixing their own secondary colours and creating their own Sonia Delaunay inspired work.

 

This week we also read the story Monkey Puzzle in English and the children produced some lovely pieces of writing about the monkey and the animals that monkey met whilst searching for mum. 

In Maths, the Year 1 children have been learning to add and subtract within 10, whilst Reception have been learning about the numbers 1 - 5. 

 

There are lots of lovely things to look forward to next week during our final week of this half term.
