Class 9 enjoyed a visit from Danny Evans a professional basket ball player. The children had a chance to see where Danny started from and how he now plays for Great Britain. The children asked lots of questions, for example from Hammad, " who is your sporting idol?" They also had a chance to try out some skills and take part in a work out that Danny does most days to keep fit. The class loved the whole experience and went outside at playtime and played basket ball.

This week we have done some very exciting learning based on this weeks book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' . The children loved the beautiful pictures in the big book that Mrs Middleton found and laughed as our catterpillar puppet ate his way through the pages. The children learned all about the life cycle of a butterfly through dama and in Maths began to understand how a butterfly's wings are symetrical.
We have loved welcoming parents into Nursery this week to see the chicks and caterpillars and share the fantastic learning we have done this term.
Next week we will be getting excited about the coronation of King Charles and will be doing lots of exciting learning in the build up to the big day!

We loved receiving a special delivery this week. It was a basket full of food... and a beautiful new book for us to read...The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. We enjoyed making predictions and bringing the story to life in our Story Whoosh style. We then wrote our own diaries pretending to be Mr Grinling to explain that had happened on the day his lunch was stolen by those scavenging seagulls.
We have also begun our DT Learning that is linking to our science learning for Healthy Lifestyles and Living Things this half term. We have carried our product research on popular fruit salad combinations and look forward to designing and making our desired products next week.

This week in Nursery we have all been extremely excited to welcome some VERY special visitors. On Monday eggs arrived in Nursery and we carefully placed them inside the incubator and waited and watched hoping that they would hatch. On Wednesday we were delighted to see that the chicks started to hatch - boys and girls - and we loved watching them come out and start to grow.
Also on Monday we received our caterpillars. They were very small and we had to be very careful as we put them in pots with some food. They have already started to get bigger and fatter and we are excited to learn about what will happen to them in the coming weeks when we do lots of learning about the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar next week.
We look forward to welcoming grown ups into Nursery next week to meet the chicks and caterpillars and have a look at all the children's fantastic learning.

There has been an intruder in Year 2! We have had very suspicious activity within our classrooms and learning areas this week. We used our inference skills to work out what had happened and who it could have possibly been breaking into our school over the holidays. CCTV has shown us that a cheeky mouse and his robot friend have left tools, design sheets and foot prints all over over classrooms.
We then created our own design just like the inventor who raided our classrooms!
