Our allotment has now been planted with potatoes and chard, so we are looking forward to fresh salads, at lunchtimes. the children's favourite job is watering the plants...and sometimes themselves!
This week, younger children have been doing art, with a selection of topics, including 2D sculptures and collage, based on the theme, "Our Nature Trail." The children had a lovely walk around it, and collected many natural items, to use in their practical work.
On Friday, Badgers took part in a "Sing Up" event at Totternhoe Lower School, along with three other local schools. They sang lots of lovely songs that they have been learning this term, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Next week, we will be making plans for our "Academy" celebrations, which take place on 1st April... no joke! Visiting scientists are calling in to each class, and the children will be carrying out various scientific experiments. In the afternoon we are singing, and our "Marching Band" will lead us, as we march forward into Academy Status.

Sharing Assembly on Tuesday was well attended, and enabled some children to share their achievements, with their families.
In the afternoon, some Middle School children organised games activities, for Rabbits Class. It was a lovely, sunny afternoon, and all involved had fun.

Younger children, in Otters and Squirrels, had fun pond dipping, and were elated, when they found "Fred and Frederika" frogs, and "Nanette" the newt!
There were lots of creepy crawlies around this week too, as Rabbits were investigating mini-beasts. The children designed tracks for them to travel on, and incorporated maths, science and D.T.
Hedgehogs have been enjoying the story of "Jack And The Beanstalk," and turned a Hedgehog into "Jack."
Badgers have been continuing their research into Egyptians, and are very knowledgeable about that era.
Our allotment now has carrots and mange-tout growing, as well as what has been previously planted.

This week our foundation topic has been design and technology. Younger children have been busily making cards and gifts for special occasions. Afraid that no more details can be given, due to the secret nature of some gifts! (Mother's Day, of course.) Older children have been sewing money containers - wallets and coin purses.
Our allotment has been prepared for planting, and peas, beans and spinach are now under the cloche. The rhubarb crowns are shooting and so we look forward to rhubarb crumble and custard. Next week the pond will be the centre of some scientific research, so it has been cleaned and tidied, ready for lots of little "Squirrel and Otter" visitors.
On Friday, a visitor from the Greensand Trust held an assembly and left a "hands-on display for the children to investigate over the next few days.

* Next week, there is a Sharing Assembly on Tuesday at 9.00am in the School Hall.

On Wednesday, E.B.L.S. celebrated World Book Day. Children and Staff brought along books with a "colour" theme, and dressed up as a character from their chosen book. Costumes ranged from clowns, Red Riding Hood, rainbow fish, to wicked witches!
The special day revolved around the colour theme, and the children participated in many exciting activities. A selection of these activities included:
* Dancing to "drum" music, as Elmer Elephants.
* Papier Mache hot air balloons
* Pop-up puppets
* Red Riding Hood story books
* Spanish songs and colour activities
On Thursday evening, Hamsters staff kindly invited parents and staff from other pre-schools to a "story-telling event", which took place in our Pre-School. They explored new and exciting ways of telling stories to children, which included puppets and other story-telling props. Everyone agreed it was a very enjoyable and successful evening event.

Half term is upon us! Hope you all enjoy the break with your children. Perhaps the sun will be kind and shine on us!
On Tuesday, there was a Sharing Assembly in the Hall, when quite a number of children celebrated their efforts in English / Maths / R.E. / Art and behaviour.
Friday was an exciting day, when we entertained some students from University. we look forward to seeing them next half term.
This week, Otters have been having a lovely time, decorating t-shirts. They explored the nature trail, collecting all sorts of natural objects - twigs, leaves, stones, feathers and even an egg shell - and used these to make vibrant printing designs, which are now beautifully displayed outside their classroom.
Key Stage one pupils have been making a variety of puppets in D.T., ranging from monstrous monsters to fantastic fairies! ... and as for Rapunzel... well can you spot her by our entrance?
Key Stage two children have been making wind up toys ... take care as you walk, in case one shoots by!
HAPPY HOLIDAY!
