There was such excitement in EYFS yesterday afternoon when an incubator full of duck eggs arrived in our classroom. We have learnt all about the equipment that has arrived to help our ducklings such as the incubator, heat lamp, water and food feeders. We cannot wait to observe the hatching process so closely and for our ducklings to hatch very soon.

A very exciting discovery in our classrooms this morning! We were delighted to find caterpillars, giving us the perfect opportunity to begin a hands-on learning journey. To celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday, we'll be closely observing and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly Over the coming weeks, the children will have the chance to watch the caterpillars grow and change, developing their curiosity, observation skills, and understanding of the natural world. There's nothing quite like seeing science happen right before our eyes! We can't wait to see how these tiny creatures transform! #lifecycle #butterflywatch #learningthroughnature #davidattenborough100 #ClassroomScience #CuriousMinds

Our children were treated to a spectacular performance of Treasure Island, brought to life by the incredibly talented cast of M&M Theatrical Productions. From the very first moment, the hall was filled with excitement, adventure, and a touch of swashbuckling magic! The energy, creativity, and humour of the performers completely captivated the audience. The children were enthralled as the classic tale unfolded before their eyes, with vivid characters, lively storytelling, and plenty of surprises along the way. Laughter, gasps, and wide-eyed wonder could be seen throughout, as the story carried them on a thrilling journey across the high seas. When asked about their favourite part the children said: "They did lots of songs & were great actors " Isabelle Year 4 "When there was fire coming out of the gunit was wow! I like it when the actors made us laugh" Luyanda Year 5 "The sword fighting scenes were exciting! There were lots of funny bits like Ben Gun being stuck on the island for 4 years" Charlie Year 6 "I liked the way they knocked the down the wall to find the treasure" Jenson Year 5 "Have you got any cheese? Then he named all the cheeses! It was so funny!" Logan Year 5 "I liked it when the parrot kept saying 'thousands'. He was Jim's worst enemy!" Brynley Year 5 "They all danced at the end and we clapped and cheered", Hettie Year 5 It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience live theatre in such an engaging and memorable way. A huge thank you to M&M Theatrical Productions for delivering such a brilliant and inspiring performanceone that will no doubt be talked about for a long time to come! What a way to end the spring term. We wish all of our families a restful Easter Holidays break. We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday 20th April.

As part of our Healthy Me topic in PSHE, Year 1 and Year 2 have thought about foods that are healthy and unhealthy and designed their own fruit skewers. We linked this to our science knowledge this term when we have been thinking about healthy foods in each of the food groups. We then made the skewers and really enjoyed eating them! Lots of us want to try making these at home and have discovered a new healthy snack.
