Date: 6th Mar 2023 @ 4:36pm

Year 1 had an excellent day out today at Bring Yer Wellies. In the morning, children learnt about how important plants are to our lives and how we can look after them. Then, they got to work potting 2 plants - oregano and lavender which we were allowed to take home with us.

This afternoon, we took apart a wormery and had a look at what worms eat and what they produce. After this, we went down to the brook and raced some small, cork boats, cheering them on from the side. Finally, we had a go at den building. We made two dens big enough to squeeze ourselves in and then it was time to go back to school!

The Day the Gorilla Came

Date: 12th Sep 2022 @ 10:51pm

What an exciting and unusual day!

Joe from Teach Rex, visited school today with Thomas the gorilla. We learnt about how his family was taken when he was a baby and how he had managed to survive in the Congo. The children learnt of the devastating impact of deforestation and how small changes they make can make a big difference. Thomas was very nervous to begin with but relaxed when he realised how much we cared and wanted to help him.

Take a look at some of the photos below to give you a taste of the day and support a conversation at home.
