Autumn Term in Rabbit Class
Welcome back Rabbits! I hope you have all had a fantastic time during the summer holidays. I have had a very busy and exciting few weeks because I got married, so I’m now Mrs Powell (I think it might take a while for us all to get used to it!). We had a lovely day! I’m looking forward to hearing what you’ve been getting up to as well.
We have got lots of exciting things to look forward to this term. Click on the link below to find out more about what we will be learning.
Rabbits Topic Overview Autumn 2025
PE days are Tuesdays (Y2 only) and Fridays. Forest school will be on a Tuesday afternoon, so Year 1s will need to come to school in their kit. Due to larger numbers in Hedgehogs class this year, there may be some changes to forest school but you will be informed of this with a letter from Mrs Farmer & Mrs Gregory.

Rabbit Class Trip to Llandudno
Rabbit class had a fantastic day in Llandudno last week. We enjoyed a walk along the pier and spotting the features of a seaside town. We had great fun on the beach (apart from some pesky seagulls who had their eyes on our sandwiches!). Lots of members of public commented on the children’s fantastic behaviour and their enthusiasm for their learning!
