It has been incredible watching our building grow and we have seen some significant changes happening. The internal walls are in and being plastered, the drama studio looks ready for completion and the hall is taking shape. It has been fantastic to see the whole building develop and I cannot wait to get inside.

This half term has been another busy but fun time here at Wren. Every day I am amazed at the children’s progress. We have been learning all about animals. Mrs Salomon’s honeymoon photos were a great inspiration for the children and developing the children’s understanding of the world.  They have been learning to find places on a map and discover where different animals live and how they survive.

In the second part of term we focused on farm animals. We had some real life chicks hatch in our classrooms and the children have loved looking after them and see them grow. They have been learning about the life cycle of a chick and other animals and this has really helped their writing. The children are learning digraphs now in phonics and I love walking into class and seeing the children choosing to write at every opportunity! The especially love our writing table outside.

International week was a resounding success and I recommend you look at our news article and image gallery about all the events we held during this week. It was wonderful to see the children learning other languages and sharing their cultures. We even had parents in school celebrating Chinese New Year with us.

I am making many decisions regarding next year and I think it is a very exciting time planning for another year group. I was delighted to receive so many applications and I cannot wait to meet all the new children in the summer term.

Have a lovely half tem holiday!
