Week Ending 6th February 2020


On Tuesday, Squirrels Class enjoyed a wonderful trip to the London Transport Museum. The children took part in a workshop entitled "Build a Bus", where they looked at the design of buses throughout history, and had to design a bus for the future! They also looked around the museum and were very interested to view all the different vehicles on display.

Wednesday morning saw the official opening of our lovely new Trim Trail. PTA volunteers presented the Head Boy and Head Girl with a large cheque, and the children cut a ribbon to declare the new play equipment open! The School Council were also present to enjoy this special ceremony.

Badgers Class children have been making "Flour Babies", which has been a totally different experience for them! These are made from bags of flour and fabric, and the children have been learning useful sewing skills. They are still a work in progress, but really seem to have their own individual characters already!

On Thursday we were visited by a representative of Blue Cross, which is an animal charity. She ran a workshop for Year Five and Six children on caring for pets, then gave an assembly to the whole school, which was full of important and useful information for anyone looking after animals.

Hedgehogs children have been working on more activities linked to their literacy topic of "The Gingerbread Man". They have been learning about instructions all week, and on Thursday, followed some pictorial instructions to make their own gingerbread salt dough. They also designed a "Wanted" poster to help The Little Old Lady and The Little Old Man find The Gingerbread Man.
