Brook Green Trip

Reception enjoyed a wonderful visit to Brook Green Park, where the children explored the seasonal changes taking place in autumn. They observed the changing colours of the leaves, noticed how the trees and plants were beginning to change and collected natural materials such as leaves, twigs and conkers. The children discussed the signs of autumn, changes in the weather and what happens to plants and animals as the seasons change. This hands-on experience encouraged children to use their senses, make observations and develop their understanding of the natural world and changing seasons.

Learning the Addison song!

This week, the children had a wonderful time learning the Addison school song! Mr McGarrigle played the song on the keyboard while the children listened carefully, joined in and learnt the lyrics. They particularly enjoyed singing, “I may never fly like Superman, climb like Spiderman, bend like Bananaman, Indiana Jones is not the kind of guy I am, ’cause I’m in the Addison School, yes sir!” The children also explored how music can express different emotions by listening to and identifying happy and sad notes. It was a fantastic opportunity to develop their listening skills, musical awareness and sense of belonging to our Addison school community!
