Outdoor Learning in EYFS – Where Curiosity Comes to Life!

Outdoor Learning in EYFS – Where Curiosity Comes to Life! Last week our reception class visited 'The Conker Club' for a fantastic day of outdoor learning. Through outdoor play, our youngest learners are encouraged to explore, investigate and be curious about the world around them. Whether they are building, digging, climbing or observing nature, every moment is rich with opportunity. What skills are developed through outdoor play? *Communication and language through shared play and storytelling *Physical development through climbing, balancing and exploring *Problem-solving and critical thinking as children test ideas and take risks *Creativity and imagination in open-ended environments *Resilience, confidence and independence We recognise that play is a powerful tool for learning. By nurturing curiosity and allowing children the freedom to explore, we are helping to build the foundations for lifelong learning. There's nothing quite like muddy hands, big smiles and curious minds at work! #the_conker_club #OutdoorLearning #EYFS #LearningThroughPlay #CuriousMinds #EarlyYears #SchoolLife To find out about our exceptional village school visit our website www.mortoncofeprimary.co.uk

Phonics at Our School! At our school, we believe strong reading starts with strong foundations and phonics is at the heart of it! We follow the Read Write Inc. phonics programme. Our children are busy exploring sounds, blending words, and growing in confidence every single day. From lively smallgroup sessions to handson activities that make learning fun, phonics helps our pupils become skilled, enthusiastic readers. We're so proud of the progress they're making and the smiles that come with it! In summer 2025, 95% of our Year 1 children passed the phonics screening test.

Reminder: The field car park will be closed from 9:30am on Tuesday 28 April until 7:00am on Thursday 30 April for essential maintenance works. Please walk to school where possible and park considerately if driving. Heavy machinery will be operating, so take extra care around the site. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Science Fair Day at Morton CE Primary! What an amazing day of discovery and curiosity! All of our Key Stage 2 children worked incredibly hard to prepare interactive science experiments, which they shared with one another to explore a wide range of scientific ideas. From magnetism and electricity to chromatography, the properties of liquids and solids, as well as sound and light, there was so much fantastic learning taking place. In the afternoon, the children confidently demonstrated their experiments to the whole school, including Key Stage 1 and Early Years. It was wonderful to see them explain their ideas, answer questions, and inspire younger pupils with their enthusiasm for science. It truly was an amazing day, and our pupils were brilliant ambassadors for science. We are so proud of their teamwork, creativity, and confidence. Proud to be part of Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust #AboveAndBeyond #sciencefair

Dear Families and Members of our School Community, We are writing to inform you that the field car park will be closed from 9:30am on Tuesday 28 April until 7:00am on Thursday 30 April. This closure is necessary to allow essential works to take place, including a top dressing of the car park surface. We recognise that this closure may cause some inconvenience to families and to our neighbours, and we thank you in advance for your understanding. During this period, we strongly encourage families to walk to school where possible. If you do need to park, please do so considerately, ensuring that you do not block driveways, park over junctions, or inconvenience local residents. Please also be aware that heavy machinery will be operating on and around the site, so we ask everyone to take extra care when moving around the school area. As you may be aware, the current surface has degraded more quickly than anticipated following the extensive works carried out in 2024. Our Academy Trust has supported both the 2024 project and this new set of works, despite ongoing complications surrounding the ownership of the area. Although the land is owned by Lincolnshire County Council and remains a public right of way, we recognise that it is an area heavily used by the school community, making these improvements both necessary and important. We kindly ask for your support and patience while this work is carried out, as it will help to improve the site for everyone in the longer term. Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.
