News Atwood Primary School

A much-abbreviated newsletter today as lots of parents visited the school and have been able to see what the children have been up to this week.

In Reception the children have been thinking about Chinese New Year.

It has been a fun week in Reception and the children have been busy working hard.

This week Nursery has seen the return of Forest School.  The children started by recapping the rules of Forest School and having time to explore the environment independently.

The last two weeks, nursery have been focusing on the book ‘The Gingerbread Man’ by Alan MacDonald and what fun we have had!

This week in Reception, all of the children turned into scientists!

From making slime to building shadufs, there has been a lot going on at Atwood this week.

Happy New Year.  It has been lovely to see all the children back in school after the break and we have launched straight back in to our learning. 

On Tuesday, Year 1 had lots of fun learning about old and new toys. 

The topic for this half-term in Reception is ‘Watch out—there’s a monster about!’

After a busy final week, we have made it to the end of term. 

Christmas has really taken off at Atwood this week. A slighter shorter newsletter this week as, amidst all the usual learning, everyone has either been performing or rehearsing for shows. 

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas is the theme in Nursery this week. We have been very busy practising our Christmas songs ahead of our classroom performance on Monday 16th December as well as making some props for display.

This week in Reception, the children learned about the Nativity. They discovered that people who follow the Christian religion celebrate Christmas because of the birth of Jesus Christ.
