Pennywell Farm

The Owls class had a wonderful time at Pennywell Farm this week learning about different animals and their environments. They were allowed to touch and cuddle the animals although they weren't very keen on the piglets - they screeched very loudly and frightened us all, including me! The children had the opportunity to see a puppet show about Chicken Licken, prepare and feed the goats (who were very hungry), go on a train ride, and feed the deer. They also enjoyed their lunch and the play area and many of them said that we should have a play area at school like this. The children were complimented on their behaviour and one parent of a toddler praised one of our children for being kind and helpful when it was time to get out of the train. An ideal place to visit in the holidays if you have not been and there were lots of activities the children did not have time to do. Enjoy the photos!

French Lessons

The Owls class have been learning to speak French every Wednesday with Madame Brooker. She has been teaching them words, songs and actions and even reading them The Very Hungry Caterpillar (in French). The children also answer the register in french and can say "Bonjour Madame - picnique ou dejeuner s'il vous plait." Please watch the video of one of our songs.

Mrs Woodward is going to China!

Mrs Woodward is going to China this month to visit the Jiaxing Quingan school in Jiaxing. She will be there for 4 days and will be able to find out all about how children in China are taught and to bring back good ideas for us to use.

She would love to take some things from our school to show them. The Owls will be coming up with a list of questions that they would like to find out the answers to.

We will be collecting some examples of our work to send with her but if anyone would like to draw a picture or write a letter to tell the children about things we do then have a go at home and bring it into school before 15th May.

Mini-beast Homework

The Owls and Wrens have been making mini-beasts at home out of different materials. They have used their imaginations to produce ladybirds, caterpillars, spiders and much more. Please come in and have a look and maybe you can get some ideas if you haven,t made one yet. They are on display in our play tray and the children can "show and tell" when they bring them in.
