• Year 1 and 2 Farm Visit

  Tue 27 Mar 2018 Mr Phoenix

  We had a super visit to the farm. A brisk walk from school up the hill took us there, and we were really pleased to be able to see calves, lambs and lots of potatoes! The children loved having the chance to stroke the newborn lambs, and we saw some very young lambs who had been born just about an hour before our visit. We learned about how the farmer uses technology to help with feeding and the animals' environments. The calves' feed is computer controlled to make sure each young cow gets a fair share of milk. In the potato barn, we worked out there were nearly 180,000 potatoes. We saw how the machine sorts and bags the potatoes ready for sale. At the start and end of our visit we made sure we were clean and had our wellies washed down.

  A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Binns for inviting us to visit their farm - we had a lovely day out and learned so much for our science work on animals.

  

• World Book Day 2018

  Fri 02 Mar 2018 Mr Phoenix

  Well done for coming to school in such fantastic costumes for our World Book Day celebrations 2018 - despite the freezing cold weather.

  Again there was a huge range of brilliant costumes, and children had brought in favourite books to share - many of which linked to their dressing up outfit too.

   

  Thank you to all our parents and families for supporting World Book Day and coming up with such creative ideas. It was lovely to see the children eagerly sharing their books during 'Buddy Reading' time.

   

  Another great World Book Day - I am sure it will serve well to promote our love of reading.
