Wren class had a wonderful time decorating their face biscuits as part of our school value of "Friendship". We had a great time and we used our fine motor skills to decorate our biscuits. They were also yummy too!

September 2025 - Wrens have been learning about Kandinsky
We have been learning a little bit about the famous artist Kandinsky, who lived a long time ago. We looked at some of his paintings and learned the word ‘abstract’. This means that they do not look like ‘things’. We noticed that he liked to use bright colours and different shapes. We had a go at creating our own painting, in the style of Kandinsky’s concentric circles. We mixed our own colours of paint and made circles, starting from the centre and moving outwards. Here are some pictures to show our masterpieces!

September 2025 - Our first Forest School Session
Today was our first Forest school session with Mrs Nurcombe 🍂🍁🌳We spent time exploring all of our forest school area’s looking at the different plants and wildlife that we could see. The children were very excited and really enjoyed exploring.
We went on a ‘treasure hunt’ and found conkers, conker shells, acorns and snail shells. The children were taking in all the information Mrs Nurcombe was sharing about the different types of snails, the. found it particularly amusing that there was such a thing as a Cheese Snail🐌.
The children also got the opportunity to look at all our fruit trees, pick fruit for themselves and even try it which they really liked, We tried pears, apples and cherry plums🍏🍐.
Mrs Nurcombe showed us how to be safe when visiting the school pond and we talked about what we may find once we start pond dipping.
What a fantastic Forest school session, we can't wait for the next one!

September 2025 - Welcome to Wren Class
In their outdoor play, we can see the Characteristics of Effective Learning shining through. Children are exploring and trying out new ideas, staying focused and motivated in their activities, and thinking creatively as they solve problems and invent games. The area is supporting purposeful, joyful learning every day.
Our new topic for this half term is "All about me" celebrating everything about us and our families. We can't wait for you to join the St John and St Francis family on your primary journey.
Sports Day - June 2025
We had great fun today at our sports day. It was certainly a hot day and we needed our sun safety!
We began with a carousel of activities that our parents and carers watched us do. Bean bag toss, javelin, skipping and hockey all ably led by our year 6 helpers.
We also had a relay activity led by SASP. Mr Moore also ran a rugby stuck in the mud activity- we had a lovely time.
Then we ended with our traditional races.
A huge thank you for all your support, I hope you will agree how amazing Wren Class participated. I was so proud of them all.
Cross Curricualr carrot and growing activity
We followed some amazing activites from a local supermarket. Wren class talked about healthy eating. We looked at our plates and what makes a "healthy plate".
Then we looked at carrots and investigated them but the most exciting part was when Mr Butt said we could cut the tops off and to see if they grew in water? We are so excited to see what happens...
Sun Safety and Road Safety
Wren Class did lots of work this week on Sun Safety and my goodness didn't we need it! and we loved learning about road safety practically.
Our posters and our writing were brilliant! Well done Wrens.
Health and Sports Week - June 2025
What a busy week we have had. We have done so many exciting activities this week.
We have started the week with activities -
Mr Butt - Parachute Games where we played popcorna and sharks!
Mrs Hart and her amazing skipping sesion we learnt some new skills, well done wrens some of us found this tricky.
Mrs Marriott did some calming yoga with us in the hall and we thought about how our bodies moved and the positons they were in.
Mrs Leach taught us all about tag rugby we had to try and get our tags from our opponents,
Mrs Edwards was great fun and we used balls to throw and catch.
We had such a great day!
Roll up, Roll up - Circus skills - June 2025
As part of our health and sport week we had a session learning circus skills with Steve. We tried activities such as balance beam, flower sticks, hoops, ribbons and steppers. We all persevered!
Mondrian tree painting - cross curricular art - June 2025
Following on from our learning about trees we have been looking at the artist Mondrian. Part of his work is that he painted trees so we tried to paint our own. We used paint and watercolours. Our fine motor skills are amazing! We definately have some great artists!
Deciduous and Evergreen Trees - In Art - June 2025
We have been learning about trees. We began by looking at the structure of a tree and noticing how similar or different it was to a plant.
We learnt that deciduous trees are seasonal and will loose their leaves at the end of their growing season. Evergreen trees will stay green all year round.
Nature Ramble - June 2025
This afternoon we went for a nature ramble, trying to find colours in nature. We found some items that we took back to class. We even managed to attach pieces to our sheets! We had great fun!
Mass - May 2025
This week we have been investigation mass. We looked at how a balance works to make comparisons. We used the stem sentences -
"The ------- is heavier than the -----------"
"The ------ is lighter than the ------------"
We had great fun investigating with anomals and then classroom objects.
Computing open afternoon - May 2025
This afternoon we held our computing afternoon and welcomed parents in to do some coding.
Coding is about learning how to input instructionsto get a beebot to move. Today we practiced cosing with a table top game and we had to work collaboratively. First we set up some obstacles on a grid, Then we had to draw arroes on post it notes to make the route for our toy, from the start to a designated finishing square.
Our amazing flight to Africa! - May 2025
We went on an exciting trip to Africa!
When we arrived at school, we had a look in our suitcases and talked about what was in there. Some us packed lightly others didn't!
In the afternoon we arrived at the airport. We were in security and looked at some suitcases that went through the scanner, we guessed what some of the items were.
Eventually we were called yo our gate for boarding. Our passports were checked and we put our luggage under the seat. We then watched our inflight safety video before taking off from Bristol Airport.
Then we had inflight mmovies and snacks, offered by the air stewards.
Finally we landed in Africa. We noticed how the landscape changed , with the ground being much browner.
We had a great flight!
Easter fun!
Thank you to those of you who joined us for our Easter service and parade. It is always lovely to see so much parent support. Here are a few photographs for you to enjoy.
Museum of Somerset - March 2025
We have had a wonderful day visiting the museum, as a finale to our dinosaur topic. We found lots of different fossils as well as other artefacts such as old coins, swords, skeletons, stone sculptures from a church, an old fire engine and old bicycles, as well as much more! We also had the opportunity to take part in some workshops where we became palaeontologists, digging for fossils, and painted our own ammonite.

The Royal Ball - February 2025
Well, what can I say! We had a marvellous finale to our fairytale topic with a Royal ball in the ‘ballroom’. All of our Princesses looked so beautiful and the Princes were very smart! The children learned some ballroom dances and then had a delicious banquet! Thank you for all your kind donations and a special thank you to Miss Blackmore for preparing a mountain of balloons for each child!
Here are some photos for you to enjoy!
We hope you all have a very happy and safe half term

Trip to the park - November 2024
This afternoon, we had a trip to the park! We spotted some familiar landmarks such as the zebra crossing, the tall Christmas tree and St Francis Church. Once at the park, we were able to play on the equipment, demonstrating how we could use our gross motor skills to climb, slide and balance. It was a little bit muddy! (apologies for muddy clothes and shoes but we had so much fun!).
Here are some photos of us enjoying ourselves.
