St John the Baptist Primary School
Autumn 1 2025: Everyone Different, Everyone Loved...
This term has been full of energy and outdoor adventures!
The children have enjoyed staying active and exploring nature through regular walks to the local playground and our school forest. During these visits, they took part in litter picking activities, helping them to develop an understanding of caring for their environment.
The children particularly loved going on a squirrel hunt in the forest and taking part in autumn-themed activities, including exploring pumpkins and learning about the changing seasons.
We have also had lots of fun singing nursery rhymes such as Incy Wincy Spider and many others. These weekly walks and outdoor sessions have provided valuable opportunities for the children to learn, explore, and stay active while enjoying the fresh air.
Autumn 2 2025: How does bear celebrate?
This term has been filled with excitement and many memorable experiences. The children have enjoyed observing the changing weather, playing in the snow, and learning about the seasons, with a particular focus on autumn.
They took part in a range of special celebrations, including Children in Need, Remembrance Day, and Bonfire Night, where they decorated biscuits and created beautiful artwork.
We also celebrated Bear’s birthday with a special tea party, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Throughout the term, the children have been developing important social skills, such as sharing and turn-taking, through a variety of games and activities.
In the lead-up to Christmas, the children learned about the festive season through baking biscuits, creating Christmas crafts, enjoying festive stories, and taking part in a visit to Cherry Hill Garden Centre. Overall, it has been a busy, joyful term full of learning, creativity, and celebration.
