The trees are decorated, the stage is set, and the Nativity rehearsals are in full swing!
It has been a wonderful team effort to make our school feel Christmasy. We are very grateful for the support and love we have around us. We'd like to say a massive thank you to @GouldsGardenCentre for gifting us a beautiful 7ft tree for our hall. Also, huge thanks to @Budsofmanorpark for buying two real Christmas trees for our front entrance and library. The trees have really kicked off the children's excitement as we head towards Christmas ![]()

Our Reception children had a wonderful trip to Nutley Farm today, where they went on an elf hunt, visited the reindeer, and had food around a campfire. What a wonderful start to the fesitive season!
To share our love of reading, every day during Advent, we are gifting a book to a lucky Manor Park superstar. Here are some of the books that will be handed out soon!
Year 4 have had a wonderful time learning about the Christmas story at ‘Journey to the Stable’ at the United Church in Dorchester.
Our preschool children had a wonderful time visiting the woods for outdoor learning. The children explored the crunchy autumn leaves, looked for different colours in nature, and listened to the sounds of the forest.
Year 2 have been learning all about everyday materials. So far, we have explored what a material is; what properties they have (hard/soft/smooth/shiny); experimenting with how a solid object can change shape by twisting, stretching, bending or squashing.
The strong winds kept Year 4 inside today during our outdoor learning session. We made carbon dioxide in a sealed bag, mixing sodium bicarbonate and vinegar together. It was fun watching the bag expand!
