What a lovely sight.
Stay and Play
Our Tuesdays and Thursdays, we hope children and parents can join our Stay and Play sessions. These sessions are designed to give parents and children some quality time together, whilst also giving time for us adults to get to know each other and chat about anything on our minds.
It is great to see Stay and Play is being used for lots of different things and especially to see parents bringing younger siblings into the setting and starting to make good use of what is here.
Take a look at:
- How the story telling chair is starting to be used.
- How younger siblings are using our new ipads.
Core Offer Reference:
- Every child has comfort with who they are.
- Children will collaborate with others in all contexts
- Parents enjoy and share in their children’s lives.
Life Education
We found out that chocolate has a drug in it! (caffeine.)
We learned about healthy eating.
I think everyone loved the Life Education Bus.
The Life Education bus was really good because we learned that it is NOT good to smoke. You could get lung cancer!
No one in our class will smoke now.

Mrs Cousins
Life Education
On Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th February saw us welcoming the ‘Life Education Bus’ to Haytor View. During the two days, each class had the opportunity to take part in activities linked to understanding their bodies, health and keeping safe. Parents also had the opportunity to gain a little bit of an insight to what went on. This was a good opportunity for parents to support their child in developing their understanding. We look forward to welcoming ‘Life Education’ back next year.
“I enjoyed seeing Harold again.”

“I learnt that the liver does 500 different jobs.”
Bedtime stories and Poetry performances!
A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Bedtime stories and poetry session. It was wonderful to see you all enjoying books together, discussing stories and sharing thoughts. To those who performed, I’m giving you an extra big round of applause! You are amazing. The poems were shared with expression, actions and a giggle or two! What an amazing group of people I have the pleasure of spending my time with.
If you have any further questions about reading, Bug Club or the Contact Book, please do not hesitate to ask me. 🙂

Life Education Bus Visit
On Wednesday, the children in KS1 had the opportunity to visit the Life Education Bus. Inside the bus, Helen led the children through different activities (with a little help from Harold the Giraffe!) all about staying healthy and happy. In Year 1 the children discovered more about different food groups and how they can keep healthy. They also helped Harold, Kiki and Derek with a food sculpture problem, making decisions over how the three friends could make things right after Kiki broke Derek’s fruit sculpture.
In Year 2 the children explored feelings and how they can keep themselves and others happy. The children explored a party scenario where people at the party were showing different emotions. The children talked about why one child was feeling sad and decided on how they could help them to feel better.
