A representative from Dandara, who are building houses locally, visited the school to present Gardening Club with some cow parsley plug plants. 

Year 3 were lucky to have a Why Money Matters workshop. It was great fun with lots of different activities provided by Ootiboo. The children found out a great deal about money and why it matters.

The children in gardening club have been enjoying preparing the soil, potting up seeds and nurturing their young plants before planting in our outside area.  This week they were excited to pick lettuce leaves to taste before choosing a sweet-pea flower to take home.  We hope that, by picking the flowers, more flowers will be encouraged to grow. 

Our Reception children have been learning the story of The Hungry Caterpillar using Talk 4 Writing. It’s inspired them to look in the environment for caterpillars and butterflies; a trip to our forest area was perfect for this. Look at that tiny caterpillar! 

Our recent Science Day was a fantastic celebration of curiosity, creativity and all things scientific. The day featured impressive science-themed costumes, thrilling experiments, and an unforgettable science show that had students buzzing with enthusiasm. 

Junipers and Rowans classes had a fantastic Egyptian Day this week immersing themselves in the ancient past. The children travelled back to the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten where they were tasked with helping to prepare the new temple for the Pharaoh. Throughout the morning, the children learnt the skills needed to prepare bodies for the afterlife. They learnt how to make mummies, protection amulets, write their names using hieroglyphics, create tomb art, make bread, make model slaves and more! In the afternoon, the children put on a feast to welcome the Pharaoh to his new temple. The children put on performances of ancient stories including the story of the gods Osiris and Isis and the wax crocodile fable. Throughout the day they even caught temple thieves, stopped a murder plot against the Pharaoh and told the future with a storytelling bull. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the past and developing their knowledge and skills.
