We were delighted to welcome Theatre Alibi back with their production of 'The Parcel' this week.
The Year 2s made brad on the fire at Forest School this week.
This week the children in Class 2 invited their parents and carers to attend their class assembly. As parents arrived, the children handed them sweets. Then the children asked for some volunteers to give their sweets back! This was done so that the part-part-whole model could be demonstrated. There was lots of laughter and everyone agreed that this was a great way in which to bring maths learning to life.
What a wonderful array of spots and stripes we saw in school today! The face painting was amazing! It was lovely to see so may of our children come into school wearing spots and stripes as part of our fund-raising day for Children in Need.
Parents and carers donated a delicious array of cakes and biscuits for our School Council to sell during morning break and after school.

This week the children in Class 1 have had great fun learning about food preparation. They created autumn owls from delicious pancakes, bananas, blueberries and apples. Our star bakers definitely deserved a 'Bake Off' handshake when they had finished!
