We have had an amazing start to the new school year in Darling Class. The children have all settled in and the class has become a vibrant hub of activity.

During the first week, the whole school had a popcorn viewing of The Wrong Trousers, followed by a workshop run by Aardman Animations. The children's Gromit creations were incredible, and they have since inspired some writing and artwork, with a short animation to follow!

The children have been enjoying spending time with their friends and making the most of the beautiful weather we have been having too...

We have been sharing the story Cave Baby, by Julia Donaldson, from which the Reception children have built their own cave from which to re-enact the story, complete with cave paintings and a woolly mammoth. Meanwhile, Year 1 children have used the story to explore new vocabulary and practise turning simple sentences into super-sentences and writing in role as a character.

Well done darling Class, you are superstars!
