World Book Day 2020 science and space, by Mrs Masterson
Date: 6th Mar 2020 @ 11:21am
This world book day most people came in and science or space themed outfits to fit with our whole school year theme of moon landings. We loved the fact that most people went with the principle of it is the thought that counts not the cost of the outfits - very eco! Luckily, our school is very creative and we have seen some amazing ideas for the theme. Today we have also included another whole school write,starting in year six all the way to reception and seeing what wonderful story writing can be comprehended into it! At the end of the day we will have a big assembly and read through the excellent work we have created.

We had a great day of learning at Plant world today. We explored the grounds looking for different trees and Spring flowers. Found out that plants need different conditions to grow like cactus, looked in the tropical and temperate houses and saw terrapins (we found a frog outside too!) Stroked rabbits,guinea pigs, hens and even saw a tarantula! Smelt herbs and lovely leaves ,planted a sunflower seed and sat on a tractor. no wonder we were tired on the way back!
An amazing day!

Foody fractions, by Mrs Pratten

Today we enjoyed a foody fractions session. We chopped up cakes into halves and quarters and saw how the pieces became smaller as we chopped it up, especially into thirtieths! We got into groups of 4 to divide a whole kitkat into halves and then quarters, of course the best part was eating the kitkat👍🙃😜🙂
A fantastic first week back!, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 10th Jan 2020 @ 3:45pm
The Koalas have settled back really well and have been fantastic learners this week.
We have enjoyed the story No Thank You! all about animals getting the wrong food. We had to order the animals and give them a name.Today we thought of our own animals and used our imaginations to feed them some funny food!
We have also been thinking about finding half and have learnt that half is 2 pieces which have to be the same. We even did chocolate fractions and had to try to half a twix with our partner, the best bit was eating the twix, unlucky if you had smaller piece and didn’t quite make it a half!
We have also been learning about mammals and other animals and where they live, we used a map of the world to help us. We know there are 7 continents I wonder if the Koalas can remember what they are...?

Brilliant Booths!, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 14th Nov 2019 @ 2:16pm
We had a really interesting visit to Booths this morning. We were allowed into the back to see where all the food is kept, we went in the fridges and the freezer, ask the children how cold it was! We saw the whole store from the managers office. The best bit was having a ride on the scissor lift used for deliveries.
Some children helped Mrs Thomson get some shopping for school and were allowed to put it through the checkouts - a great trip thank you Booths!
