A shorter school week, due to the snow! On returning, the children had fun on our snow covered field, showing great imaginations.
Tuesday was the morning for celebrating children's achievements, which ranged from Flamenco dancing to recipes for "GIRL PIE!"
The choir, for KS2 children, meets on Wednesday, and they are already practicing for their next public performance... watch this space for details!
Thursday afternoons are very busy and exciting, as Choices run from 2.15 - 3.15pm. Here are a selection of our present topics:
Paper Craft
Philosophy
Tag Rugby
ICT Exploration
Orienteering
Percussion
Cooking
Spanish
Hopefully next week will be free of snow and work will continue on our new classrooms!

Week Ending 18th January 2013
Winter has well and truly arrived this week! The children enjoyed playing on the field in the snow, and showed wonderful imaginations in their snow games.
The HSA held a meeting on Tuesday evening, and it was felt that attendance may be increased if the start time was 7.30pm. Hopefully most members will be able to attend the next meeting.
On Wednesday, work began on preparations for the erection of our two new classrooms. As you may have noticed, our "field" shed has a temporary home on the edge of the playground, until work is complete. In the next few weeks, steady progress will be made on the classrooms, and both will be completed by Easter. Younger children have enjoyed watching the digger at work, and were being keen photographers.

Our new classrooms will look a bit like this!
Some Key Stage One children have been following the adventures of Christopher Columbus, and had fun making pop-up models of the "Santa Maria". Older children have been in Egypt, studying the history of the country.
Badgers and Otters have enjoyed investigating the village, going on a walk, whilst all enjoyed an "Eaton Bray in the past" film show by local historian Peter Mayne.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to our new Hamsters.
2013 is off to a very exciting start, with work beginning on our two lovely new classrooms. This will be a very exciting term, and, by Easter, the new rooms should be complete and ready for occupation. How exciting to be the first children to use the new rooms!!
The whole School topic for the term is "Now and Then." Badgers have already been on an informative walk around the village, having studied information and photos about our village "then," enabling comparisons with the "now".
Rabbits have been investigating materials used "now" compared to those of "then". Squirrels have compared the Spain of long ago, with the modern Spain, and especially enjoyed Gaudi's mosaics. Otters have been learning about the Great Fire of London, and enjoying the humour of "Horrible Histories".
Hedgehogs have been busy helping to clear storage areas, in preparation for the building changes ahead. Watch this space for updates!
