5B Forest Skills
5B were amazing when they visited a local, ancient woodland to apply their Forest School skills. We explored, built, made, played and shared. What a great day!
Adventures as a snail
We enjoy looking for different minibeasts so this week we were a minibeast. We read the story of ‘Snail and the Whale’ and then wrote a recount of our half term holiday as though we were the snail on the back of the whale visiting the places we went while we were off....
Repeated pattern designs

What is wind?
Today we made wind socks to help us figure out which direction the wind was coming from. We discussed what wind is and when wind can be useful - did you know that wind energy can be used to generate electricity?! Over the coming weeks we will be observing if there are...
Bye bye butterflies. Fly high
Reception and Nursery have cared and nurtured butterflies since they were caterpillars. We have watched them change and grow discussing the life cycle as we observed it happening. We have now set them free into the world.
