PS the link is updated - better then the link that was put on earlier. Try again if it didn't work for you before.
Also there's a link on the school website, but I know lots of people have this site in your favourites!

More displays,children helping, and teachers planning

Here's some Y2 creative writing about a magic box

The rain has its good points

The flower displays this year are probably our best ever

Greece is the word

A whole school focus on Myths and Legends for our concerts has led to some excellent classroom work and some great displays.
No comments are necessary - the pictures tell their own story.
Look out for the title on the last photo!

Orchestra and Games Club

Our school orchestra is practising for Musical Gold, our concert at the end of May. Not long now!

It's the first time they have played on our stage - they only just fit on it!

Some Year 6 children help with our Games Club. After several "proper "domino games, this group  decide to make a domino knock-down line. ("soldiers", the bloglady used to call it.)
Oh whoops, somebody's got to miss a turn! Just when he was in the lead, too.


Some excellent strategies being used.

The whole club is really popular

Of caterpillars, cocoons and rain

Reception children are studying butterflies. This butterfly pavilion is full of cocoons(hanging from the green spiral) 


Looking through the mesh

There are still some caterpillars to look at. 


The magnifying glasses help

Eric Carle's book is a Reception favourite. The children have made their own versions
This is inside Lucy's lovely book

Outside, the rain pours down. The nursery playground is covered in puddles. 
What miserable weather. Who knows, the caterpillars might be glad to be indoors!

Not everyone was allowed to vote

School was closed for Polling Day, so this little badger cub came out for a walk on our field.
We have a fox from time to time at night, but it's the first badger we've seen.
