Gazebo Day 2, by Miss Jones
Date: 11th May 2022 @ 3:37pm
Today the weather was too wet to set the gazebo up outside so Year One and Jacob moved indoors. We warmed up by playing the game where the children had to clap to catch Bob the fish. We then continued to read the story and acted climbing up to the castle, going inside and meeting the giant! We were so surprised to find out that the giant was friendly. We then acted out cooking a meal from the giant to Jack. After that we climbed back down the beanstalk but it SNAPPED! The giant cried as he couldn’t get back to his castle. We then made and decorated our own leaves to put on a beanstalk.
The children have been absolute super stars and really enjoyed the last two days!

Gazebo Day, by Miss Jones
Date: 10th May 2022 @ 3:45pm
Year One have been so lucky to spend their day in this incredible gazebo with Jacob from The Storyhouse.
We began by playing a game called ‘The Finger of Doom’ to get to know everybody’s name - this was very funny as the rules kept changing. We then started to read the story of Jack and the Baked Beanstalk. We acted out walking to market - the children were fantastic at demonstrating how sad and hungry they might have felt.
We then designed our own colourful labels for a tin of baked beans which we then got to keep take home. We were also given a bean to plant in our tins once we’ve eaten up our baked beans!
Thank you passion for learning and Jacob.

Y2 Forest School, by Miss Anders
Date: 18th Mar 2022 @ 3:45pm
Today Year 2 enjoyed a day of Forest school with Mr Hadfield. Luckily, the sun was shining!
We started by looking at a range of interesting objects that Mr Hadfield had brought to show us including herbivore and carnivore skulls and different birds' nests. We listened to see if we could identify some of the birdsong in our school grounds and watched a magpie flying to and from its nest at the top of one of the trees in our school grounds.
Next we worked together to make a 'boy size' shelter using natural materials and in small groups we made 'homes' for a range of superheroes and toy figures. There were even tennis courts and hot tubs included!
Using a dragons sneeze we burned materials such as teabags and cotton wool but one of our favourite activities was toasting marshmallows by the fire pit - delicious!
Mr Hadfield finished off the day by reading the book 'The King of Tiny Things' and then we went hunting for minibeasts. We found slugs, ladybirds, woodlice and plenty of worms!
We all had a fantastic day learning more about our school grounds!

Year 2 World Book Day, by Miss Jones
Date: 3rd Mar 2022 @ 5:16pm
We have had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day today. It was so lovely to see the children in their outfits and hear them talk about their favourite books. We enjoyed looking at each other's favourites too during Buddy Reading. The children read beautifully to each other and there was a real buzz around our classroom the enthusiasm the children had for reading was contagious.
As part of our World Book Day celebrations, the children in Year 2 were given a box of beautiful new books by the PTA. The children have loved exploring them in small groups today. Thank you very much to all involved with the PTA. I am sure we will enjoy these books for many years to come.
The children also enjoyed taking part in a World Book Day themed quiz in small teams. They really enjoyed coming up with their own quiz team name too. We also made bookmarks to use in class.
World Book Day with Buddies, by Miss Young
Date: 3rd Mar 2022 @ 2:12pm
Year 6 shared their favourite books, along with recommended reads to encourage one another to pick up a book that they'd not explored before.
We also selected an eBook from the WBD website- https://www.worldbookday.com/world-of-stories/, having read the blurbs and decided which one appealed to us. Robin Hood: Hacking, Heists and Flaming Arrorws proved the most popular.
After lunch we visited our Reception buddies and shared our favourite books with them, before reading their favourite book aloud to them.
