Felbrigg have really enjoyed their block of Forest Schools sessions with Jules this half term. They’ve been doing all sorts of crafts, exploring and playing, and even made their own fires! A huge thanks to Jules for the lovely sessions – Sandringham are next!
Year 6 had a lovely visit from Greening Wymondham today – each child was gifted a tree to take home and plant somewhere. The team were really helpful and told us all lots of great facts about the importance of trees and all of the work that they do in our community. The class enjoyed being able to select their own tree and were very excited to plant them.

In Year 1, the children are learning about the technology around us and how it helps us. The children classified what is and what is not technology in our classroom. They are becoming familiar with the different components of a computer by developing their keyboard skills. Initially, they applied our learning to the ‘click and drag’ function.
The children are also learning about online safety and what to do if they see anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.
The children used ncce.io/drag.
As part of our RE unit, we have been exploring the big question: “Why is light an important symbol?” To help us think about this, we made our own Christingles.
A Christingle is a special symbol used by Christians at Christmas time. It helps people remember that Jesus is the light of the world. Each part of the Christingle has a special meaning:
We really enjoyed making our Christingles and thinking about what each part means. At home the children could lit their candles and talk about how light can make us feel safe, warm, and hopeful.
Our story will be: The Same but Different Too
Our rhyme of the week will be: Incey Wincey Spider

We have been learning about human and physical features in Geography. We loved looking at ordnance survey maps, learning what some of the symbols mean and comparing the features of different locations.
We have been learning about computer systems and the use of IT around us. We enjoyed learning about the use of barcodes when shopping! We practised buying items, finding their code, checking the price of the item and adding them up. We decided that a computer system would make this process much quicker and simpler!
We have had a fabulous few sessions at Forest School with Jules Jackdaw. The children have explored all the signs of autumn. They created some wonderful craft treasures such as crowns and necklaces using a range of hand tools and techniques. They explored the mud kitchen and showed fantastic teamwork in den building. We can’t wait for our next turn in Spring!
