Wild Science visited the Nursery on Tuesday 16th November. The children were introduced to Chilli the chinchilla, Shikari the ball python, Fluffy the tarantula, Master Mantas the preying mantas, Froaky the tree frog, Frank the cockroach and Bob the Giant African land snail. The children learnt some interesting facts about each of the creatures… For example, did you know that the shell of an adult African land snail is so hard it can’t even be broken by a car tyre! The children were given the opportunity to hold or stroke all of the creatures. They behaved beautifully. Well done Pegasus class!
Apparently, pirates used to soak their letters in tea before they sent them. Old Skool. #historydetectives
Year 1 Acanthis were so excited when Jean brought her tortoise in to meet them. The children were very gentle with tortie and made close and careful observations that helped them to categorise him and think about whether he might be a herbivore, omnivore or carnivore. We think if tortie was a carnivorous predator he might end up feeling quite hungry.
Yesterday, our Head Girl, Head Boy and their deputies came to introduce themselves to our school governors. They explained how excited they are to have been selected and how determined they are to be the very best role models this year. We can’t wait to see them all in action and to watch their leadership skills grow. Congratulations!
Athena Class have been reading the story ‘Orion and the Dark’ in their English lessons. They have been describing the dark in sentences and they used collage materials to create some dark inspired artwork. They listened to spooky music to help get their creative juices flowing.
