Today is Outdoor Learning Day, and our pupils have been making the most of the new Opal Play zones at break and lunchtime. From teamwork in our new giant sandpit to creative play in the mud kitchens, the playground has been filled with laughter and fun. OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC

We are excited to announce that from the beginning of January our nursery will be open to two-year-olds! In the first instance, we will only be accepting applications for a minimum of 15 hours per week. This could mean a child attends for two full days and one half day every week, or every morning (8.30 - 11.30), or a combination that works best for you. Full time spaces are also available. Please contact our office for an application form, or to arrange a tour.

Here's some great photos showcasing our first day of having Opal at our school. The children are having a fun packed time, exploring all of the wonderful things to play with and using their imagination. Hopefully your child has come home and told you all about it?

This week year 2 have been collecting data on minibeasts found and creating images of the UK with autumnal leaves.

There is something special about Autumn at Woodford Halse CE Primary Academy Nursery - warm pumpkin soup, outdoor adventures and happy little hearts discovering the magic of the season.

For our entry into the Take One Picture exhibition the Nursery children have compared and contrasted a variety of different boats. We have used our own large wooden boat construction to attach our amazing representations and are now ready for a regatta on the grand canal ourselves!

Year 5 studied the National Gallery's Take One Picture "A Regatta On The Grand Canal" and focussed on the colours in the water. We mixed paint colours to match the different shades and then used fabric and wool to weave.

Year 6 have been experimenting on Scratch to create maths games for children in younger year groups to play which will help them learn their number bonds.

Year 3 spent Thursday afternoon focusing on the "take one picture" from the National gallery. The picture was "A regatta at the grand canal" and children chose to focus on drawing the buildings in the picture with sketching pencils and oil pastels.

This week we have been creating for Take one Picture... Year 2 decided to create team flags and a figurehead for our own boat.

This week some of our year 2s competed in football against the other schools in the IMAT. They had great fun!

This week our Nursery children have read the text 'Mixed' - learning all about diversity, friendship and how colours - like people - can come together to create something new. We put our knowledge and exploration skills to the test to have a variety of colourful hands-on experiences.
