What a wonderful end to our half term with a fun, silly Halloween themed day. Just what we all needed! All the children looked amazingly frightful and spooky – they loved every minute of the day! Safe to say every genre of Halloween fancy dress was covered and the teachers got involved too. Spooky activities…

On Thursday, Lyndhurst’s poetry recital finalists faced a very daunting challenge – performing their poem in Mr. Rudkin’s office, in front of a jury, LIVE on Microsoft Teams! Each and every child was FANTASTIC. I can honestly say I was utterly blown away by the poise and bravery shown by all of the children. The…

Team Building This week’s PE lesson focused on team building and effective communication skills.  Tasks including leading a blindfolded partner around an obstacle course, partner stands and number groupings.   Year 2 had to work together to travel with the ball only touching a certain body part, some tasks were harder than others but overall, everyone…

Another Monday, another melodic start to our Lyndhurst week. This week we had the musical delight of Alice on the recorder accompanied by Music teacher Mr Dawson. Alice performed beautifully and confidently and all of the children loved listening to her piece. Well done to Alice.

Year 5 are covering the topic of pets this term; we are using this as a springboard to re-visit and consolidate our understanding of masculine and feminine adjectival agreement. We can express our likes and dislikes orally and in writing, and have started to say what pets we have including colour and size. Later in…

Reception have been getting into the Halloween spirit in drama this week, when they explored the book ‘The Funny Bones’. They chose their favourite part of this story and created a freeze frame which they then brought to life. They went on to act out being the skeletons in the story and giving each other…

Here at Lyndhurst we are getting well practiced in adapting to our normal routines and embracing technology! Hence a Lyndhurst first this week when we held a virtual School Council meeting. We gathered on Teams with the children remaining in their bubbles. The children have been working hard putting together the agenda, and points for…

The wait is over…. Last week’s virtual poetry recital was a big success. I’ve received reports from form teachers that children loved seeing themselves on screen, although many hid their faces, which they absolutely shouldn’t have, considering the high quality of the performances! Performing in front of the camera is a big challenge and can…

Autumn has officially arrived, bringing with it some showers, bluster and thick woolly jumper worthy weather! Here at Lyndhurst we embrace this change in season and with it the changes to our surroundings and some beautiful colours around the school grounds.   Year 4 have composed poems to describe Autumn.    Autumn is by Year…

The children in Pre-Reception had a great morning at Imagination Role Play in Camberley this week.  We enjoyed being soldiers, pirates, mums and dads and shop keepers using all the wonderful toys to inspire ideas and conversations.  The children particularly liked bringing the toys from one area to use in another, so we had ice cream on the pirate ship, shopping baskets in the cars,…
