Our VE day celebrations

We celebrated the 70th anniversary of VE day.

Cherry and Oak Class were very lucky to have Nick from BugFest visit us on 21st April 2015.

Our Topic for this half term is 'Are Bugs Important?' and the children were able to find out some amazing facts to help them with their learning.

Nick brought with a range of 'creepy crawlies' and the children were given an opportunity to hold some of these.

His giant centipede has a very nasty sting so this one could only be handled by Nick!

Even some of the teachers held Sophie the Tarantula and the Python!

Cedar and Elm class work together

Mrs Addyman arranged a great morning's collaboration between children in Cedar and Elm classes. Building on the work they have done about World War 1 in Cedar class, the older children helped the younger children make a poppy out of wire and 'modrock'. Inspired by the display of poppies at the Tower of London, our poppies will be painted and displayed once they are dry.
