Recently in Foundation Stage we have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have made Chinese dragons, built Chinese houses and compared them to our own homes, made lucky red envelopes with yen inside, made Chinese lanterns, chopped vegetables to go into our stir fry (which we loved eating with our very own chopsticks!) and we all danced around the playground with instruments and scarves…

Our topic this term is Egyptians! We have had an exciting start to our topic with an ancient mummy taking up residence in the studio! The children had to explore this mysterious tomb using only torches. It was a bit spooky!
Millbrook children, parents and staff took a walk to Lydiard Park along with Santa and his Elves. They were met by Ranger Ben who talked about some of the nature in the park. As evening fell, the children used their lanterns to light the way. The event finished with carols and mince pies. Thank you to everyone who came along.
KS1 and Foundation stage worked incredibly hard to put on three fantastic performances of Out of the Ark’s production, ‘Born in a Barn’. A special well done to all the Year 2s for learning their parts and projecting their voices so well. All the children across the 4 year groups performed so well and the singing was beautiful. A big thank you to all…

We are busy practising for all our Christmas activities, the Infant Nativity this week and the House Christmas Song competition and the church service next week. We also have our Christmas lunch and the Christmas film to look forward to before we break up on Wednesday 20th December.
This term we have been learning about Inspirational Inventors. We hot-seated Alexander Graham Bell, made timelines to show how phones have changed since they were first invented and learned about different inventors. We also learned about toys from the past and present. We made our own catapult toys, played Victorian games and wrote an information page about Toys and Games from the Past using all the information that we’d learned.
