Year 1 Elm loved learning all about Children in Need today. They also had lots of fun designing a new scarf for Pudsey Bear!

Nursery PM also had a fantastic time celebrating Children in Need today! We created Pudsey Bear collages, shaped Pudsey with playdough, designed an exciting train journey for our mini Pudsey bears, and practiced our colouring skills. We had so much fun!

Next Friday (21st November), children are invited to come to school in their own clothes! In exchange, we’re kindly asking if children could bring in a donation of chocolate on the day.

Year 6 have shown incredible support for Children in Need today! They arrived at school wearing their Pudsey T-shirts and cosy pyjamas, and this afternoon they showcased their creativity by designing their own T-shirts with some amazing artwork.

This week, during our history lessons about Amelia Earhart, Year 2 had a very special visitor! Mrs Gallagher joined us to share her incredible experience as an eyewitness to Amelia’s plane landing in Northern Ireland. The children were fascinated to hear her stories and learn more about this historic moment. A huge thank you to Mrs Gallagher for taking the time to come in and bring history to life for us!

We are having a fantastic day in year 2 Sycamore for children in need today.  We have started our day with making Pudsey ear hats, don't they all look great!

On Tuesday, Year 2 Oak learnt about remembrance. We looked at why remembrance day happens and the why poppies are a sign of remembrance. To consolidate our learning we created our own poppy wreaths.

This week we celebrated Nursery Rhyme Week! We enjoyed a variety of nursery rhyme themed activities, including building a wall with construction materials for Humpty Dumpty, learning numbers up to 5 with our "Five Little Speckled Frogs," baking five currant buns in our roleplay bakery shop, and singing "The Wheels on the Bus" in our new transport area. It's been a fantastic week full of fun and learning!

As a reminder, tomorrow (Friday 14th November) is Children in Need day! 🔴🟢 All children are invited to come to school in their own clothes tomorrow and we will also be collecting voluntary donations for Children in Need for anyone who wishes to donate. We will be doing Children in Need themed activities throughout the day, so we hope everyone will have lots of fun! ❤️

Today, Piper has amazed Year 5 with her Viking artefacts. These link to our history learning. Well done, Piper - we love your enthusiasm.

Nursery honoured Remembrance Day by printing poppies to form beautiful poppy fields, strengthened our fine motor skills by threading poppies, and practiced counting by adding up to six gems to decorate them. We also watched a video following a young rabbit through the poppy fields, taking time to be quiet and reflect on the brave, kind people who fought so that we can be happy today.

From all of us at Loxdale Primary School, we hope everyone will have a peaceful Remembrance Day today ❤️ #NeverForget
