that was very emotional! A beautiful moment - Miss Laing #clapforNHS

Today’s craft activity...made by the children whose parents are looking after us all so brilliantly & need us to stay open so they can carry out their critical work 🙌🏻 Pretty sure you can see this from space, it’s huge! Thanks to the staff team working today 💚

Hello and welcome to the children and families who will be joining us in Foundation Stage in September - looking forward to meeting the newest members of the #ivyfamily as soon as we can! New to the school? Please take a look at ivychimneys.net for information about us 💚

💚A message to the children Ivy Chimneys Primary from our staff team. We hope they like it:) thanks to Walnut Class Miss Burton for coordinating our video 💚 vimeo.com/413901515/653f…

For anyone who has never read Harry Potter, or who wants to revisit it, this website is now recording chapters of the first book. The first chapter is read by none other than Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe. wizardingworld.com/chapters/readi…

Learning and sharing with our network of colleagues across Epping Forest Schools Partnership Trust is hugely important. Mtgs are virtual for now, but connecting and developing by working together is more important than ever. Miss Laing Foundation Stage chairs the Early Years network meetings 👏🏻

Inset day spent prepping for next half term and also watching the deep dive into the new EYFS framework from @GillJonesOfsted Julian Grenier CBE very insightful - we’ve made lots of changes over the past few years and we’re feeling confident we’re on track!

I’m so pleased they liked it! Already planned my stories for next week 🥰

Fun fact: Miss Laing was mistaken for an actual postwoman THREE times today! A postman waved at her 😃 we hope Ash and Larch enjoyed their special deliveries today!

writing for a purpose! R’s rabbits have escaped at home so we’ve made posters in Ash to help find them #planninginthemoment #PITM

not the best teaching assistant Miss Laing has ever had!

HUGE thank you to the Redmond family who donated and built this shed for the Foundation Stage playground - it’s going to be our outdoor writing hut

We LOVE it 😍 🖊 ✏️

Joyful and creative play in the Foundation Stage playground this lunchtime… lots of writing opportunities, a campfire, a play trip to Southend and a water slide for a fox 🦊

Foundation Stage,Ivy Chimneys Primary We’ve had our first meeting with local nurseries talking about starting school. It was very positive and we can’t wait to keep the partnerships going.

Ash class closed their eyes and listened to the alucorn mindfulness story written by Foundation Stage author Chloe. She used the same patterns of language as the published relaxation stories already shared in the classroom 🦄 📖

Our Year 5 reading leaders have completed their training with Miss Laing & have started daily phonics practice with lots of Foundation Stage children. 32 Year 5s volunteered to be reading leaders for our new mentoring scheme. We think you are ⭐️s #becomingme #thinkingme #communityme
