Our Classroom

Our learning from last term........

The REAL Project

At Lyndhurst we are proud be part of the REAL project. The REAL project is a parent partnership programme which aims to raise early achievement in literacy. Last half term we went on an environmental print walk to our local church, where  we looked at Christmas trees that had been decorated as different nursery rhymes. Our EYFS unit entered  a tree decorated as 'Incy Wincy Spider'. Following our trip to the church, we visited our REAL project families. We read an Incy Wincy Spider book, which the children could keep and then made props from the rhyme and instruments out of junk modelling material. Our REAL project event for this half term is a production of 'Party Time' by the theatre company 2 Boards and a Passion. Parents and younger siblings are welcome.
