Manby Lodge

The children were delighted to have a very special visit from the fire service today. Everybody had a turn using the hose and sitting in the truck. The children also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn all about their important job. This term the children have really enjoyed our ‘people who help us’ topic and learnt lots about different jobs. At the start of the term we found out what the children knew and made a note on yellow post stick notes, we then added what they have learnt using purple post stick notes and it is fantastic to see all their new learning

Children have shared their love this Valentine’s Day! Thank you to all who contributed, and to FoML for the beautiful Manby Love Display in the corridor. Children really enjoying seeing their heart on display as the go in and out of the playground at break and at lunchtime.

The dining hall  helpers are taking their duties very seriously.  They found the chefs hats today, so they have added them to their uniforms! More photos have been added to the Newsfeed.

Thank you to the lovely Twelve 15 staff for our Christmas lunch.

Well done Year 1, they did 2 amazing performances this week.  They remembered their words and all their actions.

The children were amazing during our nativity shows this week! We were super impressed with how well they learnt the story, remembered the actions and the songs.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Manby Christmas Fair on a soggy Sunday.  We really appreciate your time and support.

Two of the Year 1 classes have visited a local Care Home this week where they sung Christmas Carols and did colouring activities with residents.

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to St James Church on Wednesday. We explored the church and its features, admiring the details throughout such as the stained-glass windows and the Nativity dressing of the high altar. We had a discussion with Fr Damien and Tom from the church who told us all about the different ways that the Church gives to the community including food banks, community fridge, Lego club and cake and coffee afternoons. We then discussed ways that we have given in our lives. This directly links to our RE learning this term ‘Why is giving important to Christians’. Finally, a big thank you to all of the parent helpers who accompanied us on our trip- without you we would not have been able to make this happen for the children.
