We had a fabulous time at Caedon College on Thursday doing 'Quad kids.' Thank you very much to Mr. Hopper for organizing this and to the Sports Leaders for running the events.  We took part in 10 different activities including shot-put, the howler, long jump and sprint.  The children thoroughly…

'The Jolly Postman' has caused much excitement in Holly class this week.  He has been delivering a variety of post including a new catalogue for the children to order from (don't tell Mr Gunning!) We have been wizards and witches, and written an order form trying to persuade them to send us their…

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!

In Maths, we have been weighing objects from around our classroom to find their mass.  Well done to James…

Mrs Maud and myself must say a huge well done to all of Holly class on their interest, enthusiasm and behavior when visiting the library this week.  We looked at signs of spring on our walk there, and were also lucky enough to see a new tree sculpture being created in Pannett Park.  When we…

Keep a look out in the entrance for our fantastic artwork. We have also enjoyed discussing our favourite part of the story. Please ask…

Once at the beach we…
