Years 1 and 2 have been busy planting! As part of Science week we have planted different seeds and will nurture them and then hopefully harvest the produce in the summer.
This Friday is Red Nose Day - Break the Rules!
The norovirus is about. We have a number children off at the moment. If your child has vomited or has diarrhoea, please keep them off school for 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped. Please see below for advice.
Today is the start of British Science Week. The theme this year is 'Change and Adapt' and to get things started Years 1 and 2 joined a live lesson learning all about different adaptations of sea creatures. They had to pretend to be Manta Rays and see if they could survive in the ocean by catching food and avoiding threats.

It's World Book Day on Thursday 6th March! Our Reading SMART group discussed this and decided there would be no theme, we want everyone to be able to celebrate their favourite book by bringing in a potato character (who even knew that was a thing? Check out the photos for ideas!). Pupils will need to know the character, book and author. Pupils can dress up to match their potato if they want to but the competition will be for the best dressed potato ...
