Class 3 and class 4 had an awesome day at Lee Bay taking part in a BioBlitz to try and record the range of species found in the area. We had the chance to do some rock pooling and pond dipping. We also learnt how to identify different trees and how to use a microscope. It was a fantastic day [...]
Our first Open The Book assembly this year and the first ever for the new Reception children who were mesmerized! It was a joy to be sitting in the front looking at our children taking it all in and enjoying the story being played in front of them! Last week the team showed us a lady who gave only two [...]
Class one were very excited for their first music lesson today. We learnt all about rhythm and made up our own rhythmic patterns to copy.

Over the next few days, our beans should begin to grow! We have been wondering if there will be a magic bean...maybe we [...]

We measured it to be 27 blocks long - and Emmie used a measuring tape and found it was 54cm! That's a very big [...]
More exciting maths today - I hope your child can explain what we were doing!
After a tiring morning, playing lions in the sand pit (that's Isla) and princesses in the Wendy House, the children would have been hungry! Lunch today was ever so slightly early so that we could show our new Reception children how the lunch hall works and help them choose. ALL of them said please and thank you too, albeit very, [...]
