Today in class, the children embarked on a magical journey to create their very own Map of Fairyland! Using pebbles, marbles, and miniature figurines of houses, castles, and bridges, the children built a vibrant, interactive map that brought their imaginative world to life. This hands-on activity not only sparked creativity but also encouraged teamwork and storytelling. The result was a colourful and dynamic map filled with enchanting landmarks. Year 2 Team
Today, Year 2 are immersing themselves in the wonders of France during our exciting French Day celebration! Using iPads, the children are collaborating to research fascinating facts about the country, from its landmarks to its culture. As they fill out their fact sheets, they are not only learning about France but also developing important research skills. It’s been a fantastic day of teamwork, exploration, and fun, as we celebrate everything that makes France so special! Katie Mackay
French Day was a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in French culture and traditions. We started our activities by using iPads to research interesting facts about France, discovering its famous landmarks, delicious cuisine, and some if their famous people.
We also explored the work of the French artist Henri Matisse, focusing on his famous piece Icarus. Using collage techniques, we recreated our own versions of his artwork, experimenting with bold colours and shapes.
We also enjoyed listening to traditional French music and tested our dance moves by following French instructions.
The highlight of the day was a special visit from Mr. Kayser, who kindly gave up his time to talk to us about France and answer our many questions, particularly about the Eiffel Tower. Catherine Thorley
🌳Year 1 had a fantastic day at Lymley Wood! 🪹
The children enjoyed the adventure playground, testing their agility on rope courses and wooden beams. They learned about habitats, foraged for materials to create their own nests, and hid them around the woodland for animals to find. After a picnic lunch and free play on the nets and mud kitchen, the day ended with roasting marshmallows, making s’mores, and playing team games.
It was a magical day outdoors.

What do you call a group of frogs? An army!
Just one of the fun facts our youngest children learned today during an exciting visit from Jaws N Claws. They met an incredible array of animals, including Nigel, the 9-year-old blue-tongued lizard, Frank and Dave, the Great African Snails, Pete, the Giant African Bullfrog, Buster and Elvis, the tree frogs, and Steve, the royal python, who could grow to an impressive 8 feet!
There were squeals, wrinkled noses, and giggles as the children got up close with these fascinating creatures. It was a brilliant and unforgettable session—thank you, Jaws N Claws!
