Afterwards, they were placed on our interest table along with this week’s topic stories. Rather than waste the pumpkins, I will take them to Second Chance Animal Rescue in Crockenhill as the pigs and meerkats will be grateful for their yummy treats. 

Continuing with our spooky theme, there was a special delivery on Monday morning... it was our old friend FunnyBones. The children were very excited when they saw him jump out of his bag in Mrs Tickner’s Office. Wasting no time, the Robins showed FunnyBones the school grounds and he even accompanied us to music with Miss Norford. It has been lovely to see how much enjoyment the children have had with their new friend. He played on the trampoline, rode in the cars, joined us for a snack and he even made skeleton angels in the green sand.

It has been wonderful to observe the autumnal changes over the past few weeks and the pretty red and orange leaves around the Paddock area. We also collected some of the leaves to make some crunchy pictures. Following on with our autumnal theme, the children enjoyed making sun catchers.

Lots of fun was had on Tuesday when we visited the Russell Hall for our PE circuit. It was great to see the children move around independently and use their super strong muscles to swim across the big blue mat. I am very impressed with the children’s listening skills and as each week passes, it is wonderful to see their confidence grow.

A new Robin joined us this week for a settling-in session and we are looking forward to welcoming her to our class when we return after half term.
