The younger nursery children have been continuing with their zoo/wild animals theme: glittery elephants are sparkling around the classroom and the zebras have lovely stripes painted with rollers. They have also been on a safari hunt in the woods where the children used their magnifying glasses to look for tracks of wild animals and searched for some giggling gorillas & roaring lions! The older nursery children have learnt the sounds u, b, f, and e. We stood in blue paint wearing blue boots and...

I would like to remind all drivers to take particular care in the Pre-Prep car park. At Kiss & Drop, some parents are busy waving goodbye to their children as they drive off … please look carefully around you before putting your foot on the accelerator – there are often other small people walking towards the entrance. Also, when reversing out of parking spaces, not every-one looks carefully enough … please remember that the children are often much smaller than the cars and cannot...
Please can I remind parents that no-one should be driving up Effingham Lane from the Hedgehog, as this is effectively a voluntary one-way system down towards the Hedgehog Pub for all Copthorne parents. All cars should approach the school from the Dukes Head end, and as many cars as possible should exit via the Hedgehog, turning left at this busy junction. It goes without saying that parents should drive at no more than 5 mph on the school site, and driving whilst on the phone is illegal!
The older nursery children have had another busy week learning their letter sounds. We went for an i, i, i, insect hunt in the woods and were delighted to find a family of woodlice, an ant, some slugs, a snail and a tiny spider! The children paired up, one holding a magnifying glass and the other a tick sheet. We found it to be a lot of fun so will be repeating the activity soon. Other activities this week included building t,t,t,towers and making p,p,p,pasta n,n,n,necklaces. Next week we are hoping...

This week the older Nursery children have been learning all about Africa. They are able to point it out on the map and according to Harry, “Africa is a consonant!” Both classes have decorated a map of Africa with sand and stuck on some animals and Mrs Powley’s class have made the flag of Cameroon as this is where Vanessa comes from. Mrs Lumley’s class have concentrated on the wonderful story ‘Handa’s Surprise’. We tasted the seven delicious fruits that Handa put in her basket to take...
