Watch a video of a day in Little Elms

Watch our short video for both current and prospective parents, for an insight into a day in the life of our youngest pupils in Little Elms Nursery.

   
 
 
In Reception children are so busy...
 
In Year 2 we are learning about Habitats
 




This week the children have been learning the sounds, actions and formation for ‘c’ and ‘k’. The boys were able to dress up in Spanish clothing and do some Spanish Flamenco dancing whilst playing castanets and saying the sound c,k (both letters have the same sound) THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN!!
 

In year 2 Science we are learning about Habitat. We decided to build a bug hotel to help us learn about mini beast habitats. The boys really enjoyed the project and we keep going back to the bug hotel to see if it has encouraged any new mini beasts. 
 

 
Harvest Festival - Year3
 
Year 4's Forest School Updates
 




On Wednesday Year 3 led Elmhurst’s Harvest Assembly for the school and parents. The boys told us about how harvest is celebrated across different times and places, including the UK, the USA, Asian countries and Ancient Egypt. They made and brought in traditional decorations including fruit and flowers, which we have also used for learning about the life cycle of plants in science.

Year 4 have been thoroughly enjoying their Forest School sessions this term and have been sharing their views on their favourite things about Forest School.
 
Read some of Year 4’s work.

This term, Year 6 boys have been working on their descriptive writing.
 
We looked at examples of descriptive passages and identified literary features that create images in the mind of the reader-as well as interest- such as: metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration and onomatopoeias.
 
Thank you so much to all of you from Croydon Refugee Centre!!

We never thought we would actually fill the minibus to the top but we did!!! Well done everyone and thank you for your generosity.. the staff at Croydon Refugee Centre were overwhelmed by the response!
