At Heronswood, we strive to make the time our children spend at school as fun, exciting, engaging and as memorable as possible. We recognise that children learn best when they have an emotional connection to the activities they are participating in. We do this through a stimulating, vibrant curriculum but also by bringing in outside people and by taking the children out on trips and visits.

Please see our Facebook Page - Heronswood Primary School and Pre-School for our most recent updates since May 2025.

• Reception Scientists

  Fri 12 Apr 2024

  In topic we have been scientists this week:

  We have been very impressed with the Reception children's learning behaviours this week.

  As we have been finding out about Spring and the changes we see in the natural world, children have been making links with important vocabulary from previous topics.

  For example we have retrieved our previous learning & understanding of the concepts of migration & hibernation and seen how animals behave as the weather starts to get warmer and Spring begins in our country.

  Look out for signs of Spring when you're out and about.

  

• Reception Expressive Art and Design

  Fri 12 Apr 2024

  Reception have started an Expressive Art and Design project. We have been exploring how artists make observations and try to replicate what they see using pencil marks. We observed a flower and discussed what shapes could be found within it. We discussed and compared two different pieces of artwork and shared what we thought about them. We then tried to replicate different shapes using a variety of mark making techniques.
