After having 10 chicks hatch last week they seem to have doubled in size whilst at home with Mrs Williams over the weekend. They are looking forward to seeing all the children again tomorrow 🐣

Year 1 and 2 children enjoyed a virtual author visit from Rachel Morrisroe today. They loved listening to the story, hearing the answers to some of their questions to her and being an illustrator to learn how to draw their very own Drama Llama! #rachelmorrisroe #dramallama

It's been an animal themed week. Reception had a visit from a dog on Monday and then had more animals in school today- my favourite was the meerkat! Our eggs have arrived and 4 chicks hatched this morning. More chick updates to follow!

Come and visit our Book Fair this week. Lots of lovely books to buy and raise money for new books for our school library! #BookFair #WorldBookDay2023

Year 2 children have been writing instructions to explain how to make pancakes. They have then put these instructions to the test for our catering team to follow and make pancakes. They also enjoyed tasting the pancakes!

Our Reception classes have enjoyed visiting Wing Wah as part of their learning about Chinese New Year.

This week the children have been using Austin's butterfly to learn about perseverance, resilience and improving their work. These are all attitudes of our Star Learners and we hope the children can be like Austin this term. For more information: modelsofexcellence.eleducation.org/resources/aust…
