The children have had a brilliant start to their trip! Yesterday afternoon saw zip lining and bushcraft/ survival skills. Big smiles and sunshine all round! Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner last night- some options included pasta, chicken, salad, garlic bread, doughnuts and ice cream!

Wow! What a performance! On Monday 6th July, the children in Oak class wowed the audience with their excellent performance of Pirates of the Curry Bean. There was excellent singing, dancing, laughter and jokes, all set on a beautiful hand made stage. The audience were so impressed. Huge well done to Oak class (and Mrs Coleman!)

It’s been a great week. Shuffle up day took place on Thursday, where children got to spend time in their new classes. There were some lovely get to know you activities- one class told two truths and a lie, and everyone had to guess what was true and what was a lie. This sparked some exciting and lively discussion! Red Kites spent time learning about the red kite in the afternoon and produced some beautiful artwork- we are looking forward to seeing this displayed in September.

Wow! What a fantastic event! Huge thanks to Friends for arranging, for everyone who helped in advance and on the day to pull the event together and everyone who attended. Highlights included the tomblola, craft stalls, candyfloss machine, tin can game run by Evie, face painting, guess the staff member from their baby pictures, bash the rat, coconut shy and of course the cafe and raffle!

In English, Hazel Class have been continuing their narrative writing from the perspective of the timid, quiet fox. So far, the children have written about the problem and the challenge faced by the fox, and next they will be focusing on the resolution. They have shown an incredible amount of empathy for the character and have produced some wonderfully creative and imaginative stories. We are so impressed with their descriptive language and thoughtful ideas, and we can't wait

What an unusual weather week it's been! From heat to storms, it's been a week like no other. Thank you all for your support with keeping cool in school- sunhats, water bottles and suncream have made a big difference. We've been enjoying playtimes and lunchtimes in the shade, quiet games and activities, cooling foot-spas and even the odd wet paper towel as a headdress! To see some pictures, click here. Today we have received lots of bottles for the summer fair, and it has been
