We have spent the afternoon training to become Santas perfect elf. From shovelling reindeer poo to carrying presents around an obstacle course. The kids had a fantastic time, check out the photos below.
children loved hearing your comments, please keep them coming!!
Children in Y1 have been busy making paper chains and snowflake decorations to bring Christmas joy to Sandwell hospital. Please take a look at the photos below.
Year 2 have worked very hard with their DT project this term. We linked the topic to our Fire of London work that we did in history last term. The children have designed their own modern day engines. They have worked really hard and i’m very pleased with them. Well done kids!!
In year 1, we have been trying to solve tricky sudoku puzzles. Dylan worked this one out in no time at all!!
Well done to Ferndale’s choir who raised £300 which will be matched by the Government making a grand total of £600 towards the Ebola crisis.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all family and friends that have supported us this year.
Well done Mrs Robathan and your little troupe!!!
Year 1 and Year 2 went on a visit to St Pauls church this week (also known as Bethlehem!!!). On the way we met the three kings and some shepherds.
They told us that they were on their way to Bethlehem to see a new born baby.
Once we arrived, we had to pay our taxes!
Before we found baby Jesus, we saw a donkey that looked very tired – we wasn’t sure why…
We finally found baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph in a stable.

Reception children have settled in and are coping well with their longer day. They are working really hard with all the teachers and are trying their best in all areas especially Maths, English and Phonics.
The children are becoming more independent at dinner time choosing their own food and are using cutlery with increasing confidence.
During this half term reception classes have had fun playing in the jungle, vets and fruit and vegetable shop.
The children have learnt lots of new things from these areas.
Ask your child:
- To sort items into fruit and vegetables
- To talk about the inside of a fruit
- To talk about where fruit and vegetables grow.
- To name animals that can be found in the jungle
- To sort animals into groups, farm or jungle?
- To talk about about animals we can have as pets
- To talk about how to care for a pet and what we do if your pet is poorly.
During Disney time they have been learning about themselves by painting self portraits and thinking about correct skin, eyes and hair colours.
We are encouraging the children to become more independent by getting changed for PE and putting their own coats and wellies on.
