It has been so fun having the dress-up costumes out today and the children have created the funniest panto you’ll ever see! We really should take this on the road.

We are really getting out and about at the moment because there are soooo many exciting places on our doorstep. Last week, Year 2 jumped on a train and visited the London Aquarium which was such a wonderful day. We particularly loved the sharks, the penguins, the jellyfish and the manta rays. EXPLORE ….. RESCUE…….. PROTECT (If you know …. you know.)

Our children built a great little shop this lunchtime and started a roaring trade in random log parts. Who knew there was such a demand for them!

Our Year 2 children who don’t necessarily speak English at home have been working together with Sabrina on language games and have started writing their own stories. On Thursday, they designed their front covers and started page one.

Speaking more than one language as a child is such a gift and creates so many exciting opportunities.

Year 2 are trying to identify all the ways that they can tell their sleeping classmate is LIVING. They are breathing and twitching and blinking and moving and sometimes giggling to be honest.

Investigating how waterproof different materials are. Important research for any future umbrella designers.
