See the timetable below for the activities ran by the Family Hubs over the October half-term. There are lots of lovely Halloween related events however most are bookable so don’t leave it too late incase they fill up!
Please welcome our new School Councilors and OPAL Ambassadors for 2025/2026!
We are so excited to get started on our super important jobs, such as supporting within OPAL and making vital decisions within school.
Our very first task is to create the decorations for our Halloween disco, how exciting!
I would also like to say a big thank you to last years school council team for all their hard work and determination. You were all amazing.
As part of the Four Seasons project, we carried out an investigation to answer ‘Do all trees change colour in Autumn?’ We went on an autumn walk, observing and collected various autumnal objects.   We discovered that some trees are deciduous and some are evergreen. We also learnt that some birds migratre south for the warmer weather.
With the things we collected along the way, we created some artwork inspired by Richard Shilling.  We are really proud of our creations!
We celebrated world mental health day by being kind to each other and ourselves. We discussed the feeling we get when someone is kind or unkind to us then we took part in drawing and designing our own mental health day pictures.
In 2 blue we are working on a Four Seasons Project and the first season we are looking at is Autumn. We have discussed what happens in this season, different types of trees and the colours and feelings we have during Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk and created pictures using Autumnal items that we found along the way.

We have been looking at Jingles and how we can keep the pulse of the music. We have loved learning about echo and call and repeat music and we are able to talk about the difference between them. We then added some instruments and actions to our songs to keep the beat and explain what the vocals were telling us.
This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
