What would you wear on a ‘Dress to Express’ day?? Some of us have dressed up, some of us have dressed down. Some have gone big, some have gone small. We’re all comfortable in different ways and more than ever, today we are celebrating our differences and enjoying all our looks. #dresstoexpress

We had photograph day this week and all got to practise our very best smiles. Thank you to our wonderful Year 6 helpers who kept the troops entertained and kept things moving.

This is what ‘flooding’ looks like at Middle Park. In every class from FS2 to Year 2, three times a week a team of staff are drafted in for a 30 minute focused reading session, and twice a week in Year 3. We know that by increasing the frequency of quality of reading time in school we can support children to progress in their reading so that they can start reading to learn and reading for pleasure.

Cameron in Year 2 has been investigating coins in his homework and had this brilliant idea as a way of recording his learning. Great job Cameron!

Thanks to Emma and our lovely catering team for a delicious American Diner day yesterday. We loved it.

You might remember that last year we had nesting robins in our air conditioning unit. Obviously this isn’t ideal, so this year we have blocked off the entrance and Brian has built us our very own robin nesting box instead. Robins like to nest in an open-fronted box situated quite low to the ground. Hopefully they can tuck in on the left so they are safe from predators. Fingers crossed they forgive us for sealing the unit and like their new pad enough to nest again.
