What a fantastic afternoon the Wise Owls had in Forest schools last Thursday.  Our woods are starting to show signs of spring, and looked lovely in the afternoon sun.  We all had to find a magic place by ourselves and sit quietly. We had to use 4 of our senses...... sight, touch, hearing and smell…

We have been very busy this week! We have been working on multiplying fractions in maths which has been a little tricky! All the children have worked hard and I am very proud of them. In English we have been planning, researching and writing up our non-chronological reports on volcanoes! This has…

We have had great fun this week re-enacting the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are.' The children were very imagination in their voices and the characters they were pretending to be!
