Friday 5th September

It has been a joy seeing the children and having them back at school this week! They have grown so much over the summer and I have enjoyed catching up with them, and Mrs Sharman and Mrs Goldman have enjoyed getting to know them. Despite some nervous faces on the first day of school, the children settled in well and have made a brilliant start to Year 5.

This week, lessons have involved settling in and helping the children understand expectations for behaviour and presentation. The children have enjoyed seeing their teachers and getting to know our new classroom, which is already beginning to feel like home. In addition to this, the children have recapped their prior learning about Roman Numerals, visited the library and discussed the importance of online safety. 

At Forest School the children discussed Forever Green’s motto:

Knowing Me

Connecting with my Community

Caring for Our Earth 

They enjoyed a story about how different trees were created, and spent some time exploring the forest area; tying ropes to make a swing, digging up clay and finding rocks.
