St Ursula had a lovely time at the library today. The children walked to the forum and had a talk from the librarian. They learned that there are 7 libraries in and around Southend, that the library is free to join, they can borrow books for three weeks at a time, they can borrow up to 14 books and that there are lots of clubs and other things to do at the library like lego club, computers reading events and competitions and making new friends too. If you want to join your child up at the library so they have their very own library card just fill in a registration form. Ask Mrs Conyard for a form or ask at the reception desk at the library.

Visit to the Library

Today, St Augustine's class visited The Forum and explored the books in the library.

Three Little Pigs

Year 1 St. Ursula class had fun in the nature area listening to the story of the three little pigs and investigating materials that the three little pigs used to build their houses. We used lots of vocabulary to describe the materials and decided that a brick house would be the strongest and that straw was too bendy and flexible to build a secure, safe house. The children then went off in groups to build their own stick house.

Materials and Storytime

St Augustine's class joined with St Ursula's class in the nature area and listened to the story of the Three Little Pigs. We explored different materials and then made houses using natural materials. The sun shone and we enjoyed lots of exploration together.

An Autumn Exploration

Ursula class had a lovely tome in the nature area exploring how it has changed from Summer to Autumn. We were tasked with finding different coloured and different shaped leaves. We noticed lots of things we had not seen before.We have been on several Autumn walks around our school environment looking at how the trees are changing colours and how some drop their leaves and some stay green all year round.
