Our Reception children, were very lucky to have Michelle Noble-Jones, the author of Manu the Orangutan come and share her story with us. Being an author is Michelle’s hobby, her main job is working for Essex Police. The children found it fascinating that she could have two jobs. She also told them about her trip to Borneo that inspired the book. Here’s the link to the book if you’d like to find out more;https://pegasuspublishers.com/books/michelle-noble-jones/manu-the-orangutan

Year 1 had a fantastic day at Hedingham Castle recently.

We had a great time completing our Reindeer Run this morning. 

As part of our topic work we were able to experience fossil hunting just like the fossil hunter we have been learning about - Mary Anning. We looked very carefully for the fossils and made sure we dusted them carefully with the brush. We then made rubbings from the fossils using crayons and paper.

In science this week, Year 2 have been learning about teeth and how to keep our teeth healthy. They have found out that we should not have too much sugar and we need to make sure we brush our teeth regularly and correctly. We brushed our teeth and then used disclosing tablets to find out how well we cleaned our teeth. A lot of mouths turned blue and red and then purple!

The staff had their own sports day after school on Monday. It was great fun and sometimes very wet!

Thank you to Mr Taylor and Mr Stoneham for organising.
