This week some of us have been participating in our first Sharing Assembly of the new School year. Children shared their successes and achievements with their families and other children and staff. Well done to all involved!
Some of us have been working on our art pictures for the gallery next month, so save your pennies parents, as they will be for sale, in the School Hall soon. Watch this space for exact details.
Our allotment has been diligently watered and turned over, then planted with winter cabbage, garlic and onions. At the beginning of the week the children had the opportunity to try crisps in School... beetroot flavoured of course! Our clever cook found a novel way of encouraging the children to eat beetroot... they were Simply Red... and Simply Delicious!!
Crops of potatoes, beans, peas, tomatoes, red onions and carrots have been served in School dinners, and the children have voted them "the tastiest ever!"

This week there have been wonderful aromas circulating around our School... from plaster drying to fruit salad and vegetable soup! (Nothing like variety.) Otters had fun using a special pineapple corer, while Squirrels made delicious vegetable soup which our Cook declared was "the best I've ever tasted!" Praise indeed! Perhaps we should look into marketing it, to raise some funds. Whilst on the subject of fundraising, may it be possible for more parents out there to help with HSA activities PLEASE.
Hedgehogs have been having fun with bubble painting this week - with wonderful artistic results. Rabbits have been investigating Leonardo Da Vinci, and enjoying making the "Mona Lisa" and experimental flying machines! Badgers have been thinking about Australia and looking at Aboriginal art, which they have used as inspiration for their own fabulous pieces of art.
Our hens are still producing eggs, so do call at the office, if you wish to purchase these special fresh eggs.
Next Sharing Assembly is in the Hall at 9 o'clock on Tuesday 21st September.

Welcome back everybody - Hamsters, Hedgehogs, Otters, Squirrels, Rabbits and Badgers!
This half term, the children will be producing a piece of artwork, which will be framed and displayed for sale, in the School hall, on the 14th October, from 3.30pm - 4.30pm. They would look equally good displayed at home, or would make a lovely Christmas gift - so keep that date free.
Another date for your diaries is 13th September at 7pm, when the HSA hold their Annual General Meeting.
This week has been a little scary, due to an extra "skeleton" person, in Squirrels, nicknamed "Funnybones". Otters have visited the Trim Trail, for a sensory walk. Rabbits have produced enormous collage flowers, which will decorate their new room. Badgers have had an exciting visitor from Africa, discovering what life is like for children in Eaton Bray.
Many new children have started in Hamsters, and are enjoying participating in a wealth of new experiences. There is a new story house, where books can be shared, as well as a performing dance stage!
STOP PRESS: Pantomime at Milton Keynes will be on the 7th January 2011 - "Dick Whittington".

We are adding the "finishing touches" to our Carnival Float entry, based on the theme of "Inventions". Hopefully Saturday will be warm and dry, and a happy occasion for all participants. As a School, we have contributed to a large "jig-saw" picture, which will be on display on Saturday. Do come along and see our art work in the finished product.
Our foundation topics this week have been geography, or design and technology. Rabbits children have made puppets which will be used in English as the characters for play scripts. They also made a lava lamp, which was quite magical. Younger children have been "shopping", and enjoyed making a shop of their choice that would be beneficial to the local community... so we await a pet shop / toy shop / antique shop / jewellery shop / sports shop / party shop / charity shop!
We ate our first home grown strawberries - the tastiest berries ever, we decided!
Younger children have set up butterfly houses, and when we each have a butterfly, we will dress up in bright clothes and butterfly wings and release our fluttering friends!

The end of a lovely, warm week, that, as usual, has been busy and exciting. Key Stage Two children enjoyed their last cooling swimming lesson, as England scored a goal! Foundation topic has been art, and now the "builders" boards are bright and colourful... adorned with gigantic collage flowers, and winged creatures that glitter and twinkle.
Some of our children have had the opportunity to visit their Middle Schools, and discover what life will be like in September, when they have moved on to pastures new.
Our hanging baskets and floral borders have "filled out" well and provide lovely splashes of colour around the School. The kitchen is being supplied with salad herbs and lettuce - imagine... picked one minute and eaten the next! On Wednesday, some parents visited for lunch, and had the treat of Yorkshire puddings made with eggs from Florence, Henrietta and Rosie!
