Final week of Term 1!
Dear parents, What a busy week we have had. Even though we have had rain, the children have whole-heartedly thrown themselves into the activities and helped to lead their own learning. We have looked at the following books together: The Leaf Man, Tatty Bogle and The Gigantic Turnip. We have been using Helicopter stories to […]
Opal Bingo
We hope that you have seen in the newsletter that we are currently playing a whole school version of Opal Bingo. The aim of the game is to collect as many items from the board as possible and be the first class to get a line and then a full house. The reward will be […]
I am sorry that I got messy today but…
We wanted to take the time to apologise for all of the extra washing that you have been doing since your child started in Kites. We understand that it can be frustrating when your child comes home with a dirty jumper (again!) but hope that, after reading this, those stains become a little more forgivable. […]
Term 1, Week 7
Kites has been taken over by conkers this week! We have so much fun rolling them down guttering, creating art with them, taking a closer look at them with magnifying glasses and throwing them. Several children even created a conker cannon! We have spent the week thinking about the changes that autumn brings and have […]
Term 1, Week 6
Dear Parents, This week, we have started our new focus on harvest and autumn. The children have been exploring what a day in the life on a farm looks like and have enjoyed doing lots of autumnal artwork for our big display in the hall. We have even been painting with tractors, conkers, forks and […]
Term 1, Week 5
Another week has gone in the blink of an eye! The children have really embraced mark making this week and we have been really impressed with how much their drawing and pencil control has developed already. We read a book called ‘Squiggles on the Loose’ at the start of the week. Shortly after, we discovered […]
Term 1, Week 4
We have had another great week in Kites. Our focus has been mark making and so we have been bark rubbing, drawing round each other and adding features, creating simple cartoon characters, drawing in shaving foam, corn flour & water and sand and have also been chalking all over the Kites garden! This theme will […]

First week complete!
Dear Kites parents, We are so proud of the children for settling in so well this week. It is always tricky starting something new and being in a new environment, but we are pleased to see them all so happy and comfortable in their class. Another achievement has been embracing lunchtimes. There was a bit […]
