What a happy start to the day – we always love dressing up and World Book Day gives us the best reason to do so. Today we’re having a pre-loved book swap and looking forward to welcoming Cara and Scout later to hear all about their new book. Happy Friday everyone.

Our new Forest School area is ready to go and we have our first ever pond thanks to the Donnelley family. This is so exciting as even the smallest ponds can attract a wide range of wildlife. The children will now help us with pond plants and wildlife-friendly planting around the outside to give the amphibians somewhere to hide.

This has been a real team effort with Miss Bennett and Angie W sourcing logs, Michele setting us the challenge of growing a Christmas tree, Brian building our new mud kitchen and Angie D and Callum joining in to help him dig in the pond. Brian has even left us a special bunch of flowers as you can see!

And now Miss Bennett’s Eco-Schools flag can fly high on our new flagpole. Good times!

Mr Ball is always really proud of his class. In ten minutes of free time after trying really hard in their maths, they produce some lovely writing and drawing and keep practising their learning. What a super class you are Year 1 Acanthis.

World Book Day

Year 1 have been learning about Mary Anning and why she was important. The children had a go at being a fossil hunter, digging out the chocolate fossils. This is our kind of palaeontology!

Year 1 have been looking closely at the seasonal changes from winter to spring and had a go at painting with broccoli. We were really happy with the way our paintings came out.

So lovely to have parents and carers in school this evening to meet the teachers in classrooms and hear all about their child’s learning. Lots of happy faces going out the door so we’re assuming it’s all good news!!

It’s photograph day in school and having taken all the individual and sibling shots, it’s now time for Year 6 to pose for their special vista print. What a good looking school we are!

What should you do when your mate needs a hug?

Our pupils have been exploring resources that support learners with ADHD and evaluating when and where they might prove useful. There are many resources out there including wobble boards, fiddlers, standing desks and discreet ‘loops’ that can reduce noise when needed.
