Our Open The Book team did a lovely job telling the story of David. He had to make some tough decisions but he did end up saving his friend's life. Sometimes the decisions we make can be really tough but as long we try our best and do what we believe is the right thing to do, then hopefully things [...]
We were overrun by dragons this morning. Class 2 wrote some sentences with nouns and verbs in them. Like... Sunday and Josie... Dragons danced through the marble jar. Daisy and Darcy... Dragons flew on to the globe and spun it around. James and Archie C... Dragons chucked the denes. Dragons sharpened their toenails. Chloe and Sam... Dragons gobbled up the [...]
Class 3 were sent back in time today to AD50. They took part in a fantastic workshop delivered by RAMM (The Royal Albert Memorial Museum). The day started off in class 3 which was turned into a round house complete with a Celtic museum. The lights were turned off and music played and stories told to take us back in [...]
James' Dragon Map - The actual name was a bit long (The Barbaric Map of The Viking Archipelago) but he decided to make it a bit shorter. The film 'How To Train Your Dragon 2' inspired me to make this map. It took me 3 weeks to finish: 1 week to plan, 1 week to tea-stain and wait for it to [...]

Just ready-mix paint 3. Watered down paint. The children had to predict which paint could be 'huffed and puffed' the furthest through a [...]
Sadly, I like things colour coordinated. I'll retract the 'sadly' actually as I'm quite proud of my insistence of making things look right ...just right. So yes, the red chairs that didn't quite fit under the dining tables have been freecycled to a local school's classroom where the teacher like the colour red. We've replaced them with single moulded blue [...]
Mrs. Mortimer may not be too happy that Wendy's Wendy House has been demolished within the first week of her leaving us. However, she's been wanting this for the past year as Class 1 have had to cope with a slowly falling apart play house. Today I had the pleasure of demolishing it with Chris, Lucy Houghton's Dad from class [...]
