News and Updates
At Thornbury, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve great things. That's why we are committed to providing a dynamic, supportive learning environment that helps our pupils thrive.
Learning Outside
A key part of our weekly timetable in Foundation is ‘Welly Wednesday’. Come rain or shine the children put on their waterproof suits and take their learning outside.
Our activities always link to our current learning in a fun and engaging way.
So far this year we have:
- made clay faces on trees
- made Diwali fire sticks.
- made a variety of bird feeders (great for developing our fine motor skills)
- been on a autumn hunt
- made collaborative artwork inspired by Andy Goldsworthy
- painted in puddles
- been on a proposition hunt (linked to maths)
- used the huts to tell friends the story of the little red hen.
- made clay hedgehogs
- built dens inspired by the three little pigs.
- churned butter
- made repeating patterns in natural objects.
- traced our friends shadows.
And so much more.
What will we be doing outside next term?
