Our plants have started growing! We are super excited to take them home soon. 

We retold the story of Jack and the Beanstalk by taking the different characters and changing our voices. We discussed the characters, setting and the events. 

We have planted our Sunflower seeds this week. We discussed what plants need. We also labelled the features of a flower and spoke about the jobs they have. 

We enjoyed our Cricket Taster Day with Lauren today. We learnt to hit the ball into a space and to throw the ball underarm. 

We enjoyed our annual egg rolling competition today. 

We really enjoyed Mabel’s pet tortoise coming for a visit today. We learnt lots of interesting facts about what he eats, how you look after him and that he has just been hibernating over the winter months. 
We didn’t realise how fast he could move either! 

This week the Worship team led our whole school Worship on Lent. 

We were very lucky to have Julia Donaldson read a traditional tale as part of our literacy topic this week. We also had an illustration masterclass from the famous illustrator, Axel Scheffler.

Thank you to Mrs Kornas who brought in their beautiful pet guinea pigs. We learnt all about how they care for them , what they eat and where they sleep. We all had the option to give them a stroke too! 

We explored mixing the primary colours to make secondary colours. We also discussed how we could make them lighter and darker.

Thank you to Mr Sowerby who came in to tell us how he helps us. He brought in lots of equipment and showed us how he used them. We thoroughly enjoyed listening. Thank you

We only went and won !!!
