When we arrived in school this morning we found a lovely surprise in the corridor...have a look at the photographs to see what we found. We had PE this morning so we were able to have a go on our new corridor activities on the way to the hall. For PE we were on an egg hunt at the zoo, we had to listen carefully to our instructions and do the correct movement.

The children in Year 2/3 have been learning about Spring and growing seeds. In our Musical Pathways last week we had to pretend to be a seed and grow and grow into a beautiful sunflower.

A very suitable book to read this week was “The Enormous Turnip”. The children really enjoyed listening to the story and retelling it in their own words. 
Today we saw amazing teamwork in our classroom as we all worked together to create a beautiful display about our story. Have a look to see all the hard work and our finished masterpiece. We are so proud of you Year 2/3 ๐ŸŒŸ

Today was a super exciting day as we welcomed back the whole school for the first time since Christmas!

Year 5/6 made the most of the dry weather and played games outside, it was so much fun!

It was really lovely to have everyone together again and we can’t wait to welcome the rest of our class back next week.  All the boys and girls have settled back in so well and I am so proud of them all.

Some overheard quotes of the day ๐Ÿ‘‚:

“I can’t wait to come to school again tomorrow!”

”I can’t choose my favourite part of today”

”it’s been a long 8 months” ๐Ÿ˜‚

This week we welcomed back our children into the classroom and such fun we had.  The children settled back in so quickly, remembering routines and adapting to life back with their friends.  We are so proud of the fantastic week they had, so we thought they deserved a little treat today. 

We had a visit from our local ice-cream man, Mr Whippy, which brought a smile to everyone's face on a Friday morning. Big smiles all round!!

 

Thank you Mr Whippy
