On Tuesday, Badgers Class children were lucky enough to have a tour of our local Amazon Fulfilment Centre, in Dunstable. They were fascinated to learn all about how all the orders are picked and packaged ready for distribution, and enjoyed watching the Amazon robots at work. At the end of the tour, all the children received a free gift of a water bottle and a toy.

Since September, PTA volunteers have been working hard to clear an area of brambles and overgrown bushes from the school field, to create more playing field space. This week, they organised tree planting along the perimeter of the field, and the children had a lovely muddy time on Wednesday helping out.

In Hedgehogs this week, the children have been learning about India. On Friday they discovered how tea is grown and produced and looked at photographs of India and tea production. They pretended to be tea producers and created their own imaginary journey, then watched a film showing afternoon tea in The Ritz Hotel in London. The teachers turned Hedgehogs classroom into a tearoom and the children ate an afternoon tea served by their teachers.
Otter Class have also been learning about India, and Diwali, the Festival of Light, which they have celebrated by making Indian sweets.

Deer Class children have been very excited this week, as on Friday evening, their Italian restaurant Mount Foodius opens, for one night only, to parents, family members and school staff. There is a fantasic menu of pasta and pizza dishes to choose from, as well as delicious Italian desserts, all prepared, cooked and served by the children, who have been working extremely hard to get everything ready, and to make the School Hall look like a real Italian bistro.
Watch this space for a full report of the evening next week, or head over to the school website, where we have set up a "Trip Advisor" style review page, for patrons of Mount Foodius to leave their comments on what we are sure will be a lovely evening.
