A sneak peak at what is in store for the Bears next week… We cannot wait for our school trip! Remember children to wear school uniform (Christmas jumpers are allowed though and encouraged!) and bring a warm coat for a walk around the grounds @HolkhamEstate!

Check out these superstars being recognised for their impressive reading this week ⭐️ @Astley_PrimaryR @Astley_Primary1 @Astley_Primary2 @astley_primary4 💙

Marvellous Machines ~ We have been learning about different types of vehicles. We created a class road map to draw and label our vehicles and we read the story, Car, car, truck, jeep by Katrina Charman. @Astley_Primary #wearebears

Today in Bears we have been using lots of different loose parts to create artwork based around the theme of machines! 🤖 📱 📺 🚗 @Astley_Primary #wearebears

In Bears we are always working hard on our gross motor and fine motor skills. Here are some examples of early writing at its finest. Digging, play dough, using tweezers, chalking all help build those muscles! 💪 @Astley_Primary

Astley Art Day- we loved taking part in all the fun activities including creating our own still life bear master pieces using charcoal. @Astley_Primary
