Stanford Junior and Infant School
Living together - Learning together
On this page you can see updates over the term of our activities and learning.
We enjoyed dressing up for Halloween and enjoyed making Halloween pumpkins with the dough and scary shadow puppets too!
We all enjoyed our reading reward today to celebrate the fantastic home reading we have achieved. Seedlings listened to the story 'The Gingerbread Man', decorated a gingerbread man and enjoyed a tasty ginger biscuit.
Thank you for the kind donations for our harvest table. All donations will be sent to our local homeless charity, Harbour Place.
The children enjoyed celebrating this special event. They made birthday cards for the Trustees, watched a special video message from Mr. Lingard, learnt all about the history of the school and the Stanford family with Mrs. Brady and enjoyed some lovely cakes and juice. They were all so excited to receive their 50p coins and commemorative mugs!
The Sunflower and Seedlings children really enjoyed reading the story 'The Gigantic Turnip' and so they decided they would like to make their own turnip soup.

Foundation children have been learning about jobs around the home. Take a look at what our families do and how busy they are taking care of our homes.
Our Head Boy and Head Girl delivered our virtual assembly on Friday for Macmillan Coffee morning. They shared with the whole school how Macmillan came about and how the donations received from families help those that are currently suffering with cancer- Well done for delivering a fantastic 'virtual' assembly!
Seedlings took part to raise funds for Macmillan by designing and colouring a cupcake sticker and singing a sign language song 'Hands in the air'. We certainly did a great job!
Foundation children have been learning about sorting. We sorted ourselves and objects such as bears, camels and cubes.
The Year 1 and Foundation children had great fun acting out the story together. It was hard work pulling up that huge turnip! Mrs. Christie made a great mouse!
