🐉𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 | Tag Festival Day 4 completed and what an amazing week of tag rugby. Well done everyone and thank you, we’re proud to have you in our @dragonsrfc family, the future is looking bright 😊 #community #DragonsFamily

A memorable day at Rodney Parade today taking part in our first @DRA_Community Tag Festival! The team played some amazing rugby which got us all the way to the final! Da iawn pawb, we are so proud! 🤩 🏉

Dydd Dewi Sant Hapus! We have had a fabulous morning celebrating together and sharing all of our Welsh culture learning from this term.

Our Reception children eagerly anticipate daily visits from the robins in our garden! Watching them up close has sparked curiosity about different bird species in our surrounding area, nests, feathers and what they eat! @FroebelCymru

Dydd Sante Dwywen Hapus Pawb! We have had a bendigedig time finding out more about this special 'love day' for Wales! #cymru

New podcast episode out this week - listen now to Episode 16 'Play and early learning environments' with guests Helen Tovey, Emma Short, Liam Graham and Helen Adams: froebel.org.uk/training-and-r… #earlyyears #Froebel #earlychildhoodeducation #play

Inspired by @KnightonDayNurs we had a go at Christmas themed large scale playdough today. What a feast for the senses! The little loose parts inspired lots more transformative play, which we are fascinated by lately! @EAS_EarlyYears @FroebelCymru

A big thank you to the Alchemy CYP Theatre for doing their Cinderella pantomime for us on Friday, the children absolutely loved it in readiness for Christmas!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at our Christmas Fayre! A special shout out to Friends of Monnow for organising, and to our amazing children who worked so hard creating beautiful Christmas crafts to sell!

Today, Reception children used a step ladder to safely achieve the height they wanted to build. Learning to manage risks when building at height! @EAS_EarlyYears

We discussed the best place to put the hedgehog box, and explored habitats where animals might hibernate for winter. Back in class, we created cozy homes for the animals, inspiring lots of enclosure play! @EAS_EarlyYears

Exploring winter colours and transformation schemas in the outdoor art and sensory areas! Children mixed, layered, and transformed materials like glue, paint, rice, and oobleck—deeply engaged for over an hour! Fascinating to observe this high level of engagement! @EAS_EarlyYears

Nursery have enjoyed the sensory experience of exploring the clay with their bodies this week after staff noticed them exploring the way the clay reacts to different movements and tools. #dosbarthsquirrels @EAS_EarlyYears

We have noticed the children in Reception have been busy building their transformation schema. They have been making connections between materials, understanding cause and effect and experimenting with how things change! @EAS_EarlyYears @FroebelCymru

Frosty morning in Forest School! Lots of discovery and wonder, exploring frozen leaves and natural treasures @EAS_EarlyYears @FroebelCymru

What a fantastic day we had a St Fagan's in Robins and Wrens today. We learned so much about houses through the ages and the Celts #Welshheritage

Diolch yn fawr to Tim and Tom this week for teaching our Year 6 children how to stay safe when they are travelling actively! Vital new skills were learnt this week whilst having lots of fun at the same time 🚲 #newportroadsafety

Also a big thank you to Alex who came to see our Heddlu Bach on Monday. We really enjoyed learning about Dog Safety and Anti-Social Behaviour and can’t wait to share these important messages with our community! @heddlugwent

Heddlu Bach has been out this afternoon to support the road closures, check permits and encourage others to Park and Stride! #activetravel @SustransCymru @EAS_Equity @heddlugwent

Thank you to Will from @SustransCymru for delivering an assembly this week to kick start our School Street Trial happening today. We can’t wait to get started and encourage active travel in our community! 🚲 🛴
