A somewhat abridged newsletter as the school succumbs to the Festive Season.
Here we are in December and Christmas has definitely taken a grip.
In Nursery, this week the children have been learning about the colours of the rainbow and triangles.
This week, we have started to see the first signs of Christmas appearing in school.
This week, in amongst all of our lessons, we managed to find the time to stop and reflect with a two minutes silence on Tuesday.
Even though the first week back has only been four days, we’ve managed to pack in a lot.
As we look forward to the half term break, we can reflect on a very busy first half term.
This week, we have had children from Year 1 visiting the park, children from Year 5 visiting the Gurdwara and visits from Transport for London for Year 6.
It has been lovely to see so many parents visiting the school this week for the opportunity to meet the teacher and hear all about how the childrenhave been getting on.
Another busy week at Atwood! In Nursery, the children have been thinking about families and the number 2.
On Wednesday, the Year 6 children from Atwood took a trip to the Natural History Museum as part of their learning about evolution and inheritance.
Over the last 4 weeks, Year 2 – Orange class have engaged in Art Enrichment, learning about the Artist; Andy Goldsworthy.
It has been a busy week with a special author visit and our lovely new library to celebrate.
On Tuesday, the children of Atwood were so excited as they prepared for the Grand Opening of the newly refurbished library.
On Thursday, the boys’ football team at Atwood began their campaign for the season.
