What a very busy week we have had!
On Monday it was the final round of the EBA Bake Off, with some lovely cake offerings from Hedgehogs Class. Next week it is the grand final!

On Wednesday, we celebrated World Book Day. Our theme for this year was non-fiction, and we requested that the children dress up as someone that inspires them. As usual, everyone put in a lot of effort (thank you Mums and Dads!) and we had some wonderful costumes!

On Wednesday afternoon, a team of Year Six children attended a tag rugby tournament at Dunstable Rugby Club. They showed an excellent display of the teamwork and skills learnt during their PE lessons, and were unfazed by the awful wind and rain - such a contrast to last week's glorious weather! They played four matches against teams from other local schools, and with three wins and one draw, acquitted themselves magnificently, doing our school proud.

Through the Schools Linking Network, Rabbits Class are proud to be linked to the Year Three class at Maidenhall Primary School in Luton. On Thursday they met up at Stockwood Park Discovery Centre and a fun day was had by all!
The children took part in activities and games designed to get them mixing and talking to their new friends. One activity was a scavenger hunt around the museum, which involved lots of searching and investigation. Then they went on to design and make a life size carriage which they could actually sit in, using a construction kit. They had great fun joining the components together and testing its strength.
The children also found time to look in the gallery at the art exhibition, before spending some time playing in the outdoor playground with their new friends. We look forward to Maidenhall Primary School coming to visit us after Easter.

This week, as part of their work on the local area, Otters Class have visited Luton Town Football Club, to find out more about "The Hatters". Half of the class went on Wednesday (in their World Book Day costumes) and the rest on Friday. They enjoyed a tour of the grounds, learnt all about the history of the club and met "Happy Harry", the club mascot!

On Friday, Deer Class had a Young Enterprise Day. They were visited by three business experts who ran a day of workshops and activities, sharing with the children their knowledge and experience, and giving them advice about how to set up and run a business. They had an enjoyable and interesting day, and will use all that they have learnt when planning their future enterprise projects.
