We have been so busy this week. We have been learning our doh disco song to strengthen our fingers ready for writing. We have been practicing drawing different lines ready to start learning our letters. In our maths session we have been counting different actions in our number song and sorting different coloured bears into colour groups and repeating patterns. In our science lesson, we wandered through the woodland noticing the different signs of Autumn and collect leaves to make our own leaf hedgehogs. Today we had our first PE lesson which was a huge sucess too.

News from Warmingham CE Primary School
Forest Church with Reverend Paul and Mrs Archer
You Can Find Me!
“When I consider your heavens, the work for your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you can care for him?’
Proverbs 8:3-4
It’s important that we all take time to stop and rest. The perfect place to do this is outside where we can sit and reflect. We spent some time in our woodland area with Reverend Paul and Mrs Archer just listening and appreciating the amazing world God created for us, before creating some master pieces from things we found in the woodland.
God is constantly speaking to us. He doesn’t always use words. Day after day, he paints amazing sunsets across the sky to show us His power and glory. He strokes our cheeks with a gentle breeze to remind us that He is right beside us. He speaks in the faces and voices of our loved ones.
We can find God in every minute of the day – if you have eyes that are looking and ears that are listening. To develop our spirituality, we all have to learn to take time to stop, and ask God’s Spirit to help us see and hear Him better.
Our forest church session helped the children and adults to practice looking and listening for God in the world around us, so that we will all be able to see and hear Him more, especially in times of need. We were reminded that we need to search for God with all our hearts – and we will find Him.

This week Otters have been exploring seasonal change. We talked about how the leaves change colour in autumn and fall from the trees.

The end of the school year is always a time for reflection and celebration.

The films below show a snapshot of what we have been doing in school.

Coronation of King Charles III
Date: 8th May 2023 @ 3:08pm
King Charles III is passionate about our environment and conservation. At Warmingham CE Primary, we share his passion and to commemorate his Coronation we have been working on some special projects which will encourage more wildlife into our grounds.
Otters planted some flowers in old wellies.
Hedgehogs made wildflower seed bombs which they later used to create a wildflower area by the school’s front gate.
Squirrels planted some shrubs and bedding plants in the planters which we moved from the front of the school to the edge of the playground so the children can maintain them.
Badgers made some bird boxes for the woodland area. They then decorated them with paintings of wildflowers, bees, butterflies and ladybirds inspired by the invitation for the coronation which was created by Andrew Jamieson.

Inspired by the artist Louise Bourgeois and her giant spider artwork, we have created our own sculpture in the style of ‘Maman’.
Otters new topic 'Come Outside'
Date: 8th Mar 2023 @ 3:55pm
Today Otters investigated our new topic title 'Come Outside' as they went on a hunt to see what they could see find in our woodland area. We saw trees, flowers, birds, squirrels, a spider and a dancing worm! We talked about the first few signs of spring that were showing and made sketches of our finds.

Otters class have been progressing their fine motor skills as artists today. We looked at the self portraits we had drawn at the beginning of Autumn Term and discussed how we could improve on them to make this terms self portraits even better. We thought about including more detail such as eye lashes and eyebrows and the types of shapes our features needed to be alongside sizing and placement of our key facial features.
After we had finished, we put our first picture next to our new one and decided on how our added details had improved our pictures.
Otters Wow starter Spring Term
Date: 4th Jan 2023 @ 7:14pm
Otters have had a wonderful start back to school. They were all very excited to share their Christmas news, then we had our wonderful ’Wow starter’ from Zoo2U. We learnt all about African land snails from the jungle. Tenrecs from Madagascar who are interestingly related to elephants not hedgehogs as we had first thought. Then we met Boris, a bearded dragon from Australia whose beard turns black when he’s scared. We also saw Herbert a horse field tortoise from Russia who has notches on his shells called scoots and learnt that they live for 50-60 years. Lastly, we met a northern striped skunk from North America who was very excited to meet us on his first school outing.
