• Pancake Tuesday 2024

  Thu 15 Feb 2024

  We celebrated Shrove Tuesday today in school. Traditionally during Lent, Christians would give up rich, tasty foods such as butter, eggs, sugar and fat (some Christians continue to do so, in fact). Shrove Tuesday was the last chance to eat them – and what better way to do so than with a delicious pancake!

  

• Bird Watching

  Fri 02 Feb 2024

  Today, we went outside to complete some activities from RSPB's birdwatching program. Unfortunately, we didn’t see many birds until the very end when we spotted a buzzard- the most common bird of prey in this area.

  • Discover ways of working together with friends by drawing or building a spaceship.
  • Explore what would make the spaceship a comfortable and enjoyable place to be with friends.
  • Think about what could be learned from spending time with friends in the spaceship
