Here are our Stars of the Week!
Weekly School Newsletter
Seasonal change
As part of our work on seasons we will be following what happens to a tree in forest school. To do this we made a wooden marker disc to mark our tree. Kris helped us saw the disc. Mrs Foster helped us drill a hole and other adults helped us tie string through and write our initials on it. We then went to find a tree to hang it on. The tricky part will be remembering where our tree is !
We will be looking at how the tree changes throughout the year.
Winter Science
This week we have been learning about winter in our environment and the winter weather. We have explored the signs of winter in our school garden and how it has changed since we last looked at our environment in December. We collected leaves, seeds and other things that we could find and made ice windows.
Worship Council Team Worship
Today the Key Stage Two members of Worship Council planned led their first whole school Worship. They told the story of Jeremiah linked to this term’s Christian Value of Perseverance and led the school in reflection and prayer.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Haughmond!
Welcome back to a new year and new term. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas!
We’ve got lots of exciting things planned this term to help our learning about our new topic – Voyages of Discovery.
We are going to be learning about significant explorers and adventurers, their achievements and the impact that they made on the world around them. We will be looking in depth at the lives of Christopher Columbus, Ernest Shackleton and Felicity Aston. In Science we will be learning about the Animal Kingdom, and will have a visit from Simon Airey, the animal man, to enhance our learning.
Our P.E. days have changed this term, while swimming lessons are ongoing. Year 2 will be swimming each Friday for 5 weeks from 17th February. Children will need to come to school in their P.E. kit every Thursday and Friday until Easter. For this term there will no P.E. on a Monday.
